[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here:  so it's fake because it's olive oil mixed with another oil like soybean?[/quote]

No. Its fake because it says its extra virgin (from the first pressing, with the most intense flavor) and it actually includes oil from less flavorful later pressings of the olives.

Someone misunderstood that (or deliberately lied about it) and its gone viral. [/quote]

No, it's fake because of a variety of reasons, one of the most prevalent being mixed with other oils.  Read the article!![/quote]

The article almost entirely discusses mislabelling the source and quality of product that is still entirely olive oil.  There are only two sentences that discuss the potential risk of other oils being added but it does not provide any stats or actual evidence of such occurrences.

Also, that article is terribly written.  The entire thing is clearly a marketing piece for the author's book and is a jumbled mess.[/quote]

Did you not pass third grade? [/quote]
