The heated hexane wash is enough to keep me away in general.

There is no proof there is an amount left in that is harmful and would dissipate when heated anyway. You get more from pumping gas :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

First is the use of a solvent such as hexane to extract the maximum amount of oil from the seed. Hexane is a very volatile solvent (boiling point 69ºC, or 156ºF) with a very low toxicity (LD50 in rats of 49.0 milliliters per kilogram). Hexane has been used to extract oils from plant material since the 1930s, and “there is no evidence to substantiate any risk or danger to consumer health when foods containing trace residual concentrations of hexane are ingested”

It has been estimated that refined vegetable oils extracted with hexane contain approximately 0.8 milligrams of residual hexane per kilogram of oil (0.8 ppm) (2). It is also estimated that the level of ingestion of hexane from all food sources is less than 2% of the daily intake from all other sources, primarily gasoline fumes. There appears to be very little reason for concern about the trace levels of hexane in canola oil.

Too much processing for my tastes. I guess folks can decide on their own and do what works. I am not using Canola oil. I know its in food items like mayo and fried foods at restaurants.

Honestly, the fishy smell when I heat it is off putting enough.

But people have not been eating rapeseed oil processed thusly since before the middle of last century. And really not since it was rebranded as CANada OLA… probably good for ruminant feed, as they can break down the polyunsaturated fats and make good fats.

There’s also this stuff but you can turn around and find studies that oppose…such is the way of the world.

That was poorly done comparing overweight to healthy and they only did 20% poorer on one test all other tests they performed as well as the healthy :thinking:
