| 0:00.0 | Most olive oil isn't helping your health. Actually, it's the opposite. There's a very good |
| 0:06.9 | chance the bottle sitting in your kitchen right now has lost the very compounds that make |
| 0:12.1 | olive oil one of the healthiest foods on the planet. And what's crazy is that the label could |
| 0:17.6 | legally say extra virgin. But here's the part that made me angry, |
| 0:21.6 | and it's probably going to make you angry as well. One of the most talked about olive oil |
| 0:25.9 | investigations ever conducted found that many imported olive oils labeled extra virgin |

| 1:27.4 | kind of misleading. Now, it came from a |
| 1:29.6 | report from 2010 out of the California Olive Center. Yeah, that's a real center. And the report was |
| 1:36.3 | funded by the California olive growers, who, let's be honest, they had a direct interest making sure that imported olive oil looked bad. |
| 1:47.0 | And what those samples mostly failed was the sensory taste test for the top extra virgin grade. |
