Just casually looking at the chemical formulas without a clear idea of the

There is a polemic making the rounds on the internet about how evil Canola
Oil is because it is made with genetically altered Rape. They claim that
Rape was the original basis for Mustard Gas, and that it causes all sorts of
respiratory problems, and besides it is genetically altered and that is a Bad
Thing (tm). And anything called Rape has to be bad.
At first I tried talking reason and logic to the relative who sent it to me,
then I gave up. If she wants to try avoiding Canola Oil on this basis, it
should keep her too busy to bother me with such garbage.
