Wow, there seems to be a lot of controversy over canola oil. Prior to reading the comments I never knew it could be bad for you. I mean, I knew it wasn’t good for you like olive oil but I didn’t know that it was harmful. Thanks for the information=)

I am from Canada, I have used canola oil all my life and I am healthy. I have also held the canola seeds in my hand, and seen them pressed and I have seen the oil come out of them. It’s a completely normal and natural oil. As far as I know. Now where are you getting your information, where are you from, has your information been peer reviewed?

Could your information have been spread by competing oil industries? How about palm oil? I have heard a lot of scare tactics to keep us away from palm oil, but when I lived in a palm producing country for 5 months, it was used widely and people seemed to be healthy.

Just like the way we are being told to dread the use of Stevia, which is a sugar substitute that originates from South America, and which is used by the south American people as well as other countries around the world. The North American sugar industry, such as corn sugar, has been lobbying governments to outlaw this plant’s use, and now you can buy it at Wal-Mart here in Canada, but it is in the pharmacy area far away from the regular food. All the while north American refined sugar is well know to cause diabetes. So tell me, how is your scare information any different than the information from what I just mentioned? Not trying to start an argument, just trying to find out if what you say could be true. I too am interested in making soap and canola is a relatively cheap and plentiful oil here in Canada.

I don’t think Englishnowtv was being rude or hateful at all.
Quite the opposite, I think he or she was simply showing their frustration at the ignorant posters. Canola Oil, in my opinion, should be banned from being a consumable product by the human population! Yes, it’s pressed from seeds, but the mixing process requires it to be mixed with a nasty cocktail of chemicals to get any decent margin of oil worth selling!
There are ways to make soap without using false oils that can essential be damaging to the health of you and your children!

Comment on Can I use Sodium Hydroxide from the chemistry lab for soap making? by Dave

What’s likely to have happened is that the sodium hydroxide, that you used as a cleaner, soaked into the pores of the wood. Since sodium hydroxide is an alkali, an acid would neutralize it. Try scrubbing the deck with white vinegar right out of the bottle. Vinegar contains citric acid and should neutralize it. It may take a couple of tries to completely get rid of it though.

Comment on Is there any soap making classes in Singapore? by April

This place teaches Melt and Pour and Cold Process methods (CP is real soapmaking). So far I’ve been unable to find S’pore supplier of Sodium Hydroxide. I am not in Singapore, but going for a visit soon. I would like to make some soap while I am there.

Sodium hydroxide is used to make solid soap. Solid soap is bar soap. Potassium hydroxide is used to make liquid soap. Shampoo, hand soap, laundry soap, dish soap are all liquid soap. Potassium hydroxide is made from wood ashes. Both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are both called “lye.” They are different. I have found that people say that sodium hydroxide is used to make liquid soap, it is not; potassium hydroxide is used to make liquid soap.
