Use Olive Oil? The Good News, the Scary News

[Quick and Crafty from FaveCrafts Special Offers]  Consumer Alert: How to avoid fake, Mafia-made olive oil and buy only 100% pure, fresh olive oil Fabulous Food Finds Good News, Scary News If You Use Olive Oil [Kim Moody]( Kim Moody for Fabulous Food Finds Monday, January 28, 2019 ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA First, the Good News Olive oil is one of the most popular superfoods in the world. And for good reasons. It’s delicious, all-natural, with zero carbs. It makes countless recipes more flavorful. As one of the healthiest fats, it keeps you full and satisfied long after your meals, so you’re not so tempted to snack on “carbage.”  Olive oil is a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, perhaps the healthiest in the world. Studies have shown that olive oil lowers “bad” cholesterol and cuts your risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer of the breast, prostate, and colon. It eases joint pain without side effects.  Moreover, according to The New York Times best-selling book Genius Foods, extra virgin olive oil “has been shown in large, long-term trials to protect the brain against decline and even improve cognitive function.” And, as reported in USA Today, “Temple University research shows extra virgin olive oil protects against memory loss, preserves the ability to learn and reduces conditions associated with Alzheimer’s disease.”  The Scary News But there’s a dark side. Thanks to the many health benefits of authentic olive oil, demand is skyrocketing. And crooks have moved in. Crime syndicates in Italy and elsewhere have been flooding U.S. stores with counterfeit extra virgin olive oils that look just like the real deal.  Just as these crime families produce cheap knockoffs of designer clothing and handbags, they palm off fake olive oil in fancy bottles and cans as extra virgin.  NBC News has reported that “fake olive oil is rampant.”  The Wall Street Journal adds, “American grocery stores are awash in cheap, fake ‘extra virgins.’”  60 Minutes has cautioned that you face a “sea of fakes” when you shop for olive oil in stores.  Cancer-Causing Agents in Fake Olive Oils? How harmful can fake olive oil be? In his New York Times best-selling book, Extra Virginity, olive oil expert Tom Mueller warns of contaminants and even cancer-causing agents in fake olive oils.  He writes, “Italian investigators have found hydrocarbon residues, pesticides, and other contaminants in fake oils, and pomace oil, a common adulterant, sometimes contains mineral oil as well as PAHs, proven carcinogens that can also damage DNA and the immune system. Then there’s the 1981 case of toxic oil syndrome in Spain, when rapeseed oil adulterated with an industrial additive, sold as olive oil, killed eight hundred people and seriously injured thousands more.”  How to Avoid Counterfeit Olive Oils As the experts in the 60 Minutes exposé recommend, you can avoid criminally produced olive oils by doing your homework online. Located around the world are outstanding artisanal farmers who bypass the counterfeiting factories and sell their olive oils directly to consumers.  But if you’d like to save yourself the time and hassle of researching dozens of online olive oil producers, having to decipher websites in foreign languages, and arranging international shipping on your own, there is now a trustworthy and convenient solution.  The Olive Oil Hunter to the Rescue T. J. Robinson, aka the Olive Oil Hunter, is a widely respected olive oil expert and the founder the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club. His club’s mission is to bring members the most delicious artisanal olive oils. Every one of his olive oils is chemically tested by an accredited third-party laboratory and independently certified to be 100% pure extra virgin.  What’s more, his club ships you these best-of-the-best olive oils direct from award-winning artisanal farms right after the latest harvest. That’s when these olive oils are at their zenith of freshness, flavor, and nutritional potency.  The first time I tasted one of Robinson’s oils, it blew me away. It was like a garden in a bottle, so alive with fresh, delicious flavor, just as if I had bought it from a local family farm stand at harvest time. Store-bought olive oils that sit on the shelf for many months or even years can’t compare in flavor or nutritional potency.  A Hit with Foodies, Chefs, and Critics Because these oils offer harvest-fresh flavor and independent certification of 100% purity, they are a runaway success story among foodies, chefs, home cooks, and health seekers across America.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, the Paleo Mom, writes...  “High-quality olive oil is an antioxidant-rich superfood. It lowers inflammation, is cardio- protective, and improves gut health. But that’s ONLY true of high-quality olive oil, and sadly, the struggle to find superior olive oil was tough—until Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club came along. Now I know that every bottle I receive is carefully curated by T.J. the Olive Oil Hunter. Plus, it’s conveniently delivered to my door quarterly so I never go without my favorite oil.”  In his New York Times best-selling book, Real Food/Fake Food, Larry Olmsted, the renowned food and travel journalist, adds:  “I now get most of my oil from T.J. Robinson’s Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, and every time I open a bottle, my kitchen literally fills up with the smell of fresh crushed olives—the scent explodes out of the bottle. Just breaking the seal transports me to Italy or Spain or Chile.”  Try a $39 Bottle for Just a Buck? Another secret of the club’s success is Robinson’s generous get-acquainted offer, which many olive oil lovers find irresistible. Here’s the deal: he invites you to sample his finest artisanal olive oil, normally $39 retail, for just $1 to help him cover shipping, with no commitment to buy anything, now or ever.  When I interviewed Robinson for this piece, I asked, “How can you stay in business giving away a $39 bottle of one of the world’s top artisanal olive oils for just $1 shipping and no obligation to buy anything?  “Good question,” he replied. “The only reason we’re thriving is because once people try olive oil that’s 100% pure and also fresh from the latest harvest at the peak of flavor and nutrition, they never again want to settle for store-bought olive oil. Most decide they can’t live without such divine olive oil, and continue as our valued club members. All I ask is a fair chance to prove it for just $1. And there’s no obligation to buy anything, ever.”  I know that I was a bit skeptical at first, but it turned out to be one of the best tasting experiences of my life, and now I’m an ardent fan. I also like that I’m feeding my family olive oil that’s independently certified to be 100% pure. For just $1, you can discover for yourself how delicious extra virgin olive oil tastes when it’s pure and direct from the harvest at the peak of flavor and nutritional potency.  For More Information...
