The following information is given with the utmost respect for the armed forces and civilians who have died in the current war in Iraq. According to http://icasualties.org/oif/ The number of Americans killed in Iraq as of April 02, 2006 is 2,343. Americans wounded = more than 16,774 United Kingdom = 103 Other = 105 Iraqi deaths are probably in excess of 100,000.
Today, April 5, 2006 It has been 1069 days since Bush declared, "Mission Accomplished in Iraq." And some people still believe what he says.

That is the edible oil extracted from rapeseed, also used as a lubricant and in the manufacture of various products.
rape-seed (rapsed)n. The seed of the rape plant.
And that brings us to:
rape3 (rap)n. The refuse of grapes left after the extraction of the juice in winemaking.

In other words it is the oil from grape seeds.

Canola stands for "Canadian Oil Low Acid", a marketing move to differentiate a newer variety of rapeseed plant cross-bred naturally (non-G.M.O.) in Canada in the 1970's that contains less than 1 per cent of the nasty eurcic acid found in traditional rapeseed varieties at up to 60 per cent. It is a healthier oil compared to other oils. Most of the USA canola oil is now produced in North Dakota. Wikipedia has an excellent article on it's history and nutrient value at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola_oil
I was surprised at the sheer number of nut cases that are posting diatribes against canola oil as if it were aspartame. The same ignorance, the same lies, and the same big business / big government conspiracy theories. The Urban Legends page has more nutrition info:

Grape Seed Extract is another plant antioxidant that some people claim can cure most conditions known to mankind, which usually means that it is probably worthless. RxList, like DrugDigest and WebMD, have added sections on herbals and supplements, and does not endorse any of them.

Grape seed extract is something else.

Grandpa Chuck - 06 Apr 2006 02:31 GMT >>>Grape seeds extracts. >>>Who knows the benefit of this thing? , and used for ? [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >--bittersweet According to my dictionary and many reports I have heard through the years rapeseed oil is from rapeseeds which are the seeds of grapes used in winemaking. Thus, grape seed oil. They changed the name in Canada to Canola Oil, according to reports I have heard because they didn't think it would sell very well if they called it as rapeseed oil or grape seed oil - either one.
OTOH, who cares?

I heard a news story years ago where they said it was made from the seed left from grapes after they made wine. Then I went to my dictionary program and it led me in a circle that ended with the same information about rape seed.
Hey! That makes it twice I was wrong about something today. Must be a new record.

Nope - you're thinking of rape-seed oil; re-named by the Canadians when they made it more user-friendly (like, edible) and decided that the name had some unfortunate connotations.
Grape seed oil is produced from (wait for it)... grape seeds.

I always preached to my kids that a day you don't learn at least one thing is a wasted day. I still believe that, in fact now more than ever.
