I love how some people are so quick to start calling people trolls on forums like this.

I just found out about the so called email hoax today by reading the wikipedia article on canola. There are literally thousands of websites out there on the subject though and the big majority of them are claiming health problems with it. Even some medical journals I've seen quoted claim problems. I'm not going to risk it anymore. Noone around here grows it either. I know that for a fact. Being a farmer myself I have a pretty good handle on what other people plant. Almost every crop grown here ends up as animal feed at one point or another. If people even think it's unsafe then it's not getting planted.

Asbestos used to be safe too by the way. Or at least the government said it was. And the big factories that produced it. Look back at history before calling people a troll.
