<pre>regarding Prof Kallis' comment about the lack of Vit C in Olive Oil:

is there a source for this info? why would they (the Japanese) repeatedly
(I've seen this research posted and reitterated in more than one place)
mention that olive oil contained vitamin c if it does not? (please excuse my
ignorance on the composotion of olive oil)
