east asians don't use mustard oil
- alephnerd 2y agoNotice how I said SOUTH, and how the article notes the same issue in Indian Americans
- mastazi 2y agobut the article explains that the issue affects women from several different Asian American backgrounds, not just Indian Americans Edit - however sibling comment seems to indicate that East Asians use Rapeseed Oil which presents similar issues, so you might be onto something
- QuercusMax 2y agoThey use caiziyou, AKA roasted rapeseed oil, which has a high level of erucic acid, similar to mustard oil. (Rapeseed is a member of the mustard family. Canola is low-erucic acid rapeseed oil.)

- RockCoach 2y agoRapeseed oil for cooking is a staple in Germany. If erucic acid or its thermal products are the cause, there would also be many cases of lung cancer in Germany.
- andyferris 2y agoI think this is a naming thing, canola is an English word for a variety of rapeseed, and IIUC Germany uses the same food-safe version.
