<pre>Hi folk,
I wonder if anybody can help me?? I was speaking with a small group of people
today about the positive health properties of freshly pressed EVOO. A lady came
up to me afterwards and told me her Dr or Dietician (I can't remember which) had
told her not to use olive oil "because it contains salicylates".It is many years
since I studied organic chemistry, and I didn't ask what her "condition" was,
but I seem to remember that it was recommended people with kidney problems avoid
taking Aspirin ( which is acetyl salicylic acid). Anyhow that is beside the
point.

Has anybody heard of EVOO containing " salicylates" , and , if so, which ones
and at what levels??
