It's made from a rapseed hybrid and is not posionios. I've cooked with it before without any reaction. I think what I have is heat rash. I really appreciate your concern, though! To read more about it ( if you want to) here's a link: http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/canola.asp
You know? Sometimes wisdom calls for a little overt caution. While I don't believe Canola Oil is a bad product, I think I will be switching to flaxseed oil. It's less man made, and since it's bypassing my liver and absorbing right into my bloodstream, I think that's the better option for me. Thanks Tibetan113.
