    I really hope it's accurate, but my Whole Foods Canola oil says non-gmo....

    The short answer is I have no idea - maybe nothing - but I don't want to find out...

    That's why I only buy organic canola oil (also corn and soy products of any kind).

    Not that the GMO pollen isn't contaminating many fields that are trying to grow organic.

    Most commercial sunflower crops as well are now seed-treated with Monsanto's nicotinate pesticides (which pervade every cell of the plant)....and some commercial beekeepers are starting this year to refuse to truck their bees to sunflowers for pollination now because half their honeybees are dying after pollinating the sunflowers. (I read the honeybee forums where the beekeepers hang out) Same thing is now happening with commercial melon crops. When the large farmers find they can no longer get beekeepers to bring their bees in to pollinate their crops, something will have to change.
    When will we stop these giant all-powerful corporations from poisoning our food and the planet's water, soil, and creatures? All for the sake of lining their pockets with gold.
