Joan Jett’s Grocery Basket–Possible Promiscuous Olive Oil
Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 19th, 2010 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Food & Drink, Research + Science.
Joan Jett opened the contents of her grocery shopping cart to Dr. John Briffa in The Guardian’s regular feature of “What’s In Your Basket?”
Being vegetarian, Jett’s food didn’t bring too much criticism from Briffa, even the Olive Oil who’s virginity is doubtful. More on that later.
“Versatile and tasty oil is very rich in so-called ‘monounsaturated’ fat that is believed to have benefits for the heart and cardiovascular system generally. Olive oil also contains ‘phenolic’ compounds, that protect the body against freed radical damage, and have been linked with a reduced risk of some forms of cancer including breast cancer.”
Here’s hoping Jett has genuine “extra virgin olive oil,” as a new study indicates as many as 2/3 of the olive oils on the shelves claiming to be EVOO, were found to be a mix of cheaper oils like canola and nut, as reported in an LA Times article called Lab Tests Cast Doubt On Oil’s Virginity.
