I did some research on sliced whole grain bread and was horrified to find all but one contained rapeseed oil. I don’t eat bread but my loved ones do, so if you have no independent bakeries around (sadly long gone where I live) then be ultra careful. Next time I’m in M&S I will be asking the baker if their bread too contains rapeseed oil. I was told about its carcinogenic properties back in the early 2000’s and I avoid it like the plague!

Thanks for these insightful comments Linda! It’s shocking how the entire food industry has not only accepted but embraced this wretched oil. Great if we can all ask - and re-educate - brands who say they are committed to healthy food choices but seem totally unaware they are doing the opposite.

Whole Foods has carried canola oil from the start. They told me it was not GMO but I know they lie.. thats when I stopped trusting them. They are a sell out company, now more than ever. Go woke go broke

Unfortunately (or fortunately), we all have to use our own powers of discrimination in each case and not rely on company info. I can’t comment on the company/brand Whole Foods as I don’t shop there. However, in my article I’m specifically talking about eating whole or complete foods versus processed/genetically modified foods. Not the brand :) Thanks for your comment!
