They Lied about the Oil ((Products Revealed) + Q&A

Is the avocado oil in your mayonnaise, salad dressing, or chips actually avocado oil? A new UC Davis study tested popular foods labeled as containing avocado oil, and 48 of 54 samples, 89%, had fatty-acid and sterol profiles inconsistent with authentic avocado oil. Some of the products tested are brands we have recommended and that many people in the low-carb, keto, carnivore, and real-food communities trust, including Chosen Foods, Primal Kitchen, Sir Kensington’s, BetterBody Foods, Siete, Jackson’s, Boulder Canyon, and others. Tonight, Neisha and I dig into the actual study and discuss: • Which products and brands passed and failed • What UC Davis actually measured • What fatty acids and plant sterols can tell us about the oil • Which cheaper oils could explain the chemical fingerprints • Where adulteration or substitution most likely occurred in the supply chain • Why two separately purchased lots of so many products failed • What Chosen Foods and Primal Kitchen currently say about testing their avocado oil • Why this does NOT prove that these companies knowingly asked suppliers for adulterated oil • Why the company whose name is on the jar is still responsible for verifying what is in it • Other premium food claims we may need to question more carefully • What consumers can do now without becoming fearful or paranoid about food Our takeaway is not to become afraid of food. It is to become a more informed consumer. Verify, then trust.
