Comment on The Great American Poisoning

The oil diagram is pretty misleading. Steps like "blending" or "fractionation" happen with olive oil[1]. Not to mention that a lot of "cheap" (i.e. grocery store) olive oil is heavily processed[1].

I think his point was that olive oil when done right is a result of crushing fruit. The bastardization of that product is a travesty but it is still possible to get the real stuff.
