A new Harvard Chan School study shows it’s the quality—not quantity—of macronutrients that make a difference for heart health, debunking myth that modulating carbohydrate and fat intake alone is inherently beneficial.
The tuna in EVOO you buy at the supermarket here is lame. If you look at the ingredients it’s just cheap vegetable oil with a dash of EVOO, and you can bet it’s not the good EVOO.
you’re right, it’s bullshit marketing and it sucks. The front of the tin does say “tuna in olive oil blend”, in fairness. All the other brands are the same / similar.
If it was real, pure olive oil it would cost more.
I just buy the stuff packed in spring water, drain it, and pour olive oil over it.
you might already know this, but oleocanthal one of the compounds in olive oil that makes it great for health. if your throat burns or you end up coughing when you swallow it, that means it has a lot of oleocanthal, which is good.
not sure where your supermarket imports from, but i tend to get olive oil from either italy or greece, and they seem to be the best thing available in the states

i mean i wouldn’t debate about “not the good EVOO,” but…
edit: looking at your instance now, i guess you’re in aus? that sucks they’re mixing yours with bullshit oil
this is ours:

the best way to do it, since even if you drain the oil tuna, you’ll still be consuming a non-zero amount of crap ultraprocessed shit oil

Yeah, there’s a lot to good EVOO.
Here i wouldnt really trust anything I can get from the supermarket, and certainly not anything imported.
The health benefits diminish significantly over time.
So the “best before” date might be 2 years, but if you want the health benefits then every month counts. Also the time spent in contact with air.
