Since it started in America, we’ll start with America. In the late 1800s and early 1900s three events occurred almost simultaneously. First, a method of detoxifying cottonseed oil, which had been an industrial waste product of the cotton industry, was discovered [1]. Next came a method to ‘hydrogenate’ cottonseed oil, or make it into a solid-at-room-temperature edible fat [2]. Thus cottonseed oil and the hydrogenated derivative known as Crisco—introduced in 1911—entered the food supply in large quantities for the first time [3, 4].

Simultaneously, America began to experience heart disease in large quantities. Previously a very rare condition, heart disease quickly became an epidemic, and the relatively new modern medical profession began to track it, and attempt to devise treatments [5]. Similarly, cancer “control” became a concern, with the forerunner of the American Cancer Society being founded in 1913 [6].

Here is a little more info on how far off our Omega 3 to 6 ratio is nowadays: “Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of ∼ 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1–16.7/1. Western diets are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and have excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids compared with the diet on which human beings evolved and their genetic patterns were established. Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, as is found in today’s Western diets, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega-3 PUFA (a low omega-6/omega-3 ratio) exert suppressive effects.”"

“Our laboratory tests found that samples of imported olive oil labeled as “extra virgin” and sold at retail locations in California often did not meet international and US standards. These failed samples had defective flavors such as rancid, fusty, and musty. Our chemical testing indicated that the samples failed extra virgin standards for reasons that include one or more of the following:

oxidation by exposure to elevated temperatures, light, and/or aging

adulteration with cheaper refined olive oil

poor quality oil made from damaged and overripe olives, processing flaws, and/or improper oil storage

The UC Davis researchers found that 69% of imported olive oil labeled “extra virgin” had been compromised.

These Are the Olive Oil Brands That Failed the Test (see Table 3 in UC, Davis paper and here):

But stepping back from modern shenanigans, olive oil made by traditional methods goes back to ancient times and is very healthy.

This one. This is one I use, it is very good. In general, Costco organics are very good quality.

Don’t let it bother you, imitation is highest form of flattery.

Imagine putting this in your body and unironically thinking that it’s “healthy”
