hella biased article

This page reads like it was written by a Canola oil salesperson. 1 mention of the neurotoxin hexane and its boxed in by complimentary language. the amount introduced by hexanes use as a solvent are low, but any amount is bad. No mention of rapeseed/canola oils connection with inflammation or other health problems such as Linoleic Acid competing with DHA in brain growth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.207.76.164 (talk) 03:03, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Propose merging Canola ("food-grade rapeseed oil) and Colza oil ("non-food-grade rapeseed oil") into one article titled Rapeseed oil.

"Colza" might be explicitly and only used for non-food-grade rapeseed oil in the US and Canada where the trademark "canola" is genericised for food-grade rapeseed oil, but in many other countries the term colza oil is used for the food-grade oil as well.

Some (all English-language!) links to demonstrate this usage, from the first two pages of a Google search for {colza oil}: Swiss producer;Iranian academic and another; French retailer; moroccan pharmacy; Belgian herbalists. Many of these explicitly say that "colza oil" is a synonym for "rapeseed oil" or "canola oil".

Additionally a merge would reduce duplication; a fair amount of information is common to both foodgrade and nonfoodgrade rapeseed oil. Pseudomonas_(talk) 13:32, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note also som parallel discussion at Talk:Colza oil#merge with canola?. Klbrain (talk) 16:33, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be many details missing from the merged pages, such as a reference in the introduction to the oil being a ‘non-drying’ type (see Lists of Vegetable Oils), especially from the last revision of the Colza oil article. Jim Grisham (talk) 20:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should redirect to "canola oil"

In much of the rest of the world outside North America, rapeseed oil is commonly used in cooking, yet the rapeseed article that it currently redirects to has very little information on this usage. All the information about rapeseed oil in cookery is under the canola (my English spell checker has never heard of this word, and neither have I) oil article. Should I be bold? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.227.118 (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Connecting article with different languages.

When visiting Russian article about rapeseed oil you can go to the same article in 26 another languages, including English. But when you have switched to the English version no redirection to another languages possible. 176.120.243.69 (talk) 00:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
