[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean fake? Not made from olives? Not extra virgin? From olives shipped all over? [/quote]

Made of cheap oils that don't have the health benefits of olive oil. [/quote]

How is that possible -- the ingredients are lies??[/quote]

Yes actually. Honey also has this issue. They remove all the pollen and good things from honey to distort it's origin.

Thanks China.[/quote]

Oh geez.  We have plenty of good honey in this country.  Buying honey is iffy if you're buying honey in China.  It's not hard to get good honey here in the US.

Also, buy California olive oil if you want good olive oil.  It's expensive, and not fake.[/quote]

You're wrong. Honey is the 3rd most faked food. I wouldn't trust it if it's from a grocery store. I only trust the honey I buy from farmers (I want the stuff with pollen for my allergies).

"Honey is commonly thinned with less expensive, but still edible, sweeteners – beet sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and cane sugar have all been used in the past – as the FDA told USA Today.

“That’s not the case with chloramphenicol, a powerful antibiotic that can lead to a potentially fatal bone marrow disorder, the reason the drug is not approved for food use in the United States. But it is a common contaminant in adulterated Chinese honey,” Olmsted writes."
