This can't be right. Olive oil is a vegetable oil and it's been known since antiquity. Its preparation requires an olive mill and a donkey to turn the millstone. Not "extensive industrial processes!
I am talking about those other vegetable oils, like grapeseed oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil. Do you remember Crisco short, this was a new product produced from cottonseed oil which had been hydrogenated though intensive industrial processes and sold as a cheaper alternative to the normal saturated fats used as the time.
I hope you actually look at the links and videos I put up in my previous comment. Your ad hominem attacks against Nina Teicholz, like "I wouldn't trust that lady to tell me what to eat" and "she's a journalist" don't go unnoticed.
I also want to point out her BMJ article was not retracted. The petition signed by 180 scientists was found to be without merit. I do find it telling you bring up the petition, yet you fail to say that article was not retracted.
That sounds threatening. Could you please clarify- who is it that noticed and what happens now that they noticed?
I am going to give you another video, you really should watch it.
