Canola Oil Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be

I've never bought canola oil.  Yes, that makes me a very rare bird for those concerned about health.  Since I could never figure out/picture what a canola is, I didn't want to eat it.

I know what soy beans are and have eaten them in different forms, so I have less trouble eating standard Israeli soy oil, certainly much better than the vague American "vegetable oil."  I cook with soy oil, and I use the best olive oil I can buy when I'm pouring oil over a salad.

Once you cook expensive cold-pressed olive oil, you've lost a lot of its goodness.  Yes, that's why I cook with soy oil.  I use that same philosophy concerning honey verses sugar.  Once you cook the honey, it's no better than sugar.
