JET's 'Brooklyn Boy' 46

A semi-autobiographical play by
Pulitzer-winning author Donald
Margulies.

It (Canola oil) was originally
developed in Canada in the 1970s
(before genetic engineering) using
traditional plant breeding methods
(think Mendel) designed to reduce
the rapeseed's potentially heart-
harmful erucic (saturated fatty)
acid content, while increasing the
more beneficial oleic (monounsatu-
rated fatty) acid content. Canada +
oleic + oil = you guessed it,
"Canola oil". Today, how-
ever, it should be noted that
some forms of Canola oil
are genetically engineered.

It is not true that Canola
) oil naturally contains
harmful trans fat. Trans
fat is a by-product of
.\\ if... heat processing known
' as hydrogenation. No hy-
drogenation = no trans fat.
Like other oils with higher
quantities of unsaturated
fatty acids, Canola oil is more
prone to rancidity than saturated
fatty acids and should be stored in
a dark, cool/cold place.

The American Heart Association
recommends Canola oil on its web
site for its heart-healthy, Omega-3
producing benefits.
