I've always wondered if the widespread use of canola oil in foods in the US could have anything to do with the increase in obesity. Long term use of canola oil, which is made from genetically modified rapeseed (normally poisonous), was never tested for its long term effects before its widespread adoption. I wonder what your endocrinologist guest knows about this -- have there been any studies of its relationship to obesity?
