Opinions Please re Canola Oil in EFA Supplement

[SandyMom]

I sent DH to HFS to get fish oil and the gal working sent him home with a 3-6-9 EFA supplement by NOW Foods that has flax, borage, etc and it also contains canola oil.
I opened it before reading label so can't return it. I am hesitant to use it b/c I am leary of canola oil.
Any opinions out there?
Anyone use this supplement?
tia!

I try to avoid canola oil completely ick. I hate for you to have to waste it but If It was me I wouldn't take it.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I hate to waste it too - it was expensive!
But I think I won't take it either.
(Note to self: Don't let dh buy supplements!)

It's an industrially processed oil from rapeseeds, google "The Great Con-ola" for back story.

We do NOT need anymore inflammatory omega 6 fatty acids, they are way too high in our modern diet.... corn, soy, cottonseed, canola, sunflower, safflower.... and grain fed meats, dairy, eggs and farmed fish.

We need to supplement the anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids (or eat wild fish, pastured eggs and dairy and grassfed meat).

I prefer high vitamin cod liver oil Blue Ice or Radiant LIfe b/c it has the vit. A & D which protect the PUFA's from oxidization in the body.
