Guest guest Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Some of you might have seen the article I posted recently about 70% of etra virgin olive oil in the US being fake. Well obviously that means more than likely the EV olive oil we have in our homes is fake. The simple test is to throw it in the fridge overnight, if, when you wake, it's not solidified, (similar to the way coconut oil is at room temp), you have an imposter. If it IS solidified, that doesn't necessarily mean you have olive oil, but it's far more likely. I've done this now with 2 olive oils. One is... #1)Member's Mark 100% organic EV olive oil (not a blend, claims to be 100% under ingredients), first cold pressing (lol, yeah right!) Results: Did not solidify, almost equally as liquid as at room temp, FAIL. #2)Brand Unknown, Bulk, Organic EV Olive oil from valley natural foods in burnsville MN. Did not change consistency perceptibly, FAIL. Called valley, to ask that they perform this test, Manager told me to bring it in for refund but did not confirm whether or not she would in fact perform the test. Will keep you updated on that as it develops! http://jasonfoscolo.com/?p=637 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/06/food-fraud-adulterated-ingredients_n_14\ 08199.html?ref=food Whackipedia also has an article on this topic of you google it. Have a wonderful day! PS many of you have asked if I have a blog, I do, but, instead of posting this stuff there, like I should, I post it here and other forums, so that's where that is!
