what do you all think about canola oil and high fructose corn syrup/corn syrup? and is there factual proof on them if they are good or bad?

High fructose corn syrup destroys the liver (it is processed by the liver). There is no need for it in your diet - the only added sugar should be in you PWO.

Canola oil is benign, but there are better choices as caonla is too processed - flaxseed and fish oils are best

I read an article that weighed the pros & cons of canola vs. olive oil. the main thought was that canola is over processed losing much of the nutrients and that olive oil was superior, calorie for calorie, because of the way the oil is obtained.

in the end, flaxseed and olive oil are better but marginally. everything you read is all hype. as soon as the oil is seperated or harvested it loses many of its nutritional properties and continues to do so as long as its stored. same shit with those 100% $4 fruit drinks. (naked & odwalla)

in the end they're better because they retain more nutrients, but not that much. if you're trying to save some dough, canola oil works fine. it's like buying into that whole organic bs. sure, organic food doesn't have chemicals but guess what. people have been eating those chemically grown foods for a while now and we've been living longer and healthier than ever before. so where's the down side?

high fructose corn syrup on the other hand is bad. really bad.

This is very true. It's amazing how much stuff has high fructose corn syrup in it. Read the ingreedients and you will be amazed.

I try to avoid corn syrup as much as possible. It is amazing that this stuff is in everything! It must be an effort by the farmers' unions.
