<pre>Keith,

How long is a piece of string? What claims have been made for olive
oil that are now being disputed? A major problem in all these discussions
is that all olive oil is not the same - it is not a chemical but a natural
product that varies considerably from climate to climate and variety to
variety. The proportions of different oils, the level of anti-oxidants and
heaps of other things. It surprises me how often sweeping statements are
made about olive oil without taking any account of the quality.

Cheers Brian Chatterton
