The trade in adulterated olive oil.

[Guest guest]

This is an article written by Tom Mueller in 2007. I thought you might be

interested because it's about large companies who have mixed other oils in with

olive oil and labeled it as pure olive oil. I hope for all of us that this isn't

happening anymore. Makes me think twice about who I'm buying my olive oil from

though.

## Hi Doree ,

In the article linked it states :

" Ribatti's adulterated oil had gone: to some of the largest producers of

Italian olive oil, among them Nestlé, Unilever, Bertolli, and Oleifici Fasanesi

" .

Do you notice not one of these brands is an " organic " Brand . I did not notice

any organic Olive Oil Brands listed in the six page article , neither .

If you are able to buy an organic extra virgin olive oil that should alleviate

your concern . Also if your still concerned , avoid olive oil and focus using

more coconut oil , butter and other good fats on the program

Problem solved , no more worries ... :-)

Thanks for the article , Doree , interesting read .

All the Best ,

Ed

***That's a great point Ed! I didn't want to scare anyone. I just don't want any

of us to to be ingesting all that soy oil or hazelnut oil unknowingly. For now,

organic it will be for me...

Best wishes,

Doree
