Rapeseed oil contains high amounts of the toxic erucic acid, which is poisonous to the body. Canola oil is an altered version, also called Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed (LEAR) and it is commonly genetically modified and treated with high levels of pesticides.
You've probably heard that canola oil is great for cooking at high heat in the kitchen. Unless it's cold-pressed, canola oil tastes very neutral and has a light texture, which makes it ideal for things like stir-frying, baking, and deep-frying. People often get confused about the difference between canola oil and rapeseed oil. These two plant-based cooking oils, however, are different.
