Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is having its moment.

Beauty and notoriety aside, science tells us swallowing a tablespoon of EVOO once a day can drastically reduce the risk of cancer, strokes, obesity, Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid arthritis, Type 2 diabetes, stomach ulcers and heart disease. It's a superfood.
But too much of the EVOO on the market is fake. One expert calls olive oil "the used cars of the food industry." Read the whole story.
