What are the many advantages of canola oil? As an occasional saw user it sounds like a PITA.

Main advantages-
Used to be cheap. Not sure anymore.
Cleans up easily while fresh, came out of clothes in the wash much better, no oilly residue in washer tub, less transference however it seemed to promote mold growth when combined with saw dust unless cleaned quickly.
In theory does not cause the skin conditions, eye or respatory issues that petro does, this going to depend on the person. I use Canola as a hand cleaner before washing with soap(Dawn) and no longer use products like Goop or the Orange stuff. Reduced winter time hand skin issues, cracking/bleeding.
Considered safer for use around water ways and food. Degrades fast.
Not a petrolium product.
Renewable resource, if you like those types of things.
Main drawbacks-
Polimerized.
Promoted mold.
Not as good with a hard tip bar.
Increased consumption(as much as 30%) which needs to factor into cost. Situation dependent.
Increased maintenance.
Consumer food grade froze solid in winter, stored in unheated space.
Smells like Canola oil, fishy.
The few branded bio bar oils I tried were not worth the extra $ over Canola for me.
