The Label Is Not the Truth (Ep. 142)

There is a bottle right now in your pantry that says Pure Avocado Oil.

There's a bag of chips in the pantry that says it's made with avocado oil, and there is a real chance both of them are lying to you.

This summer, researchers at UC Davis tested a batch of processed foods that listed avocado oil as the only oil on the label.

Nearly nine out of every ten were cut with cheaper oils, and when I read that, my stomach dropped because I had a lab result sitting in a folder from a year earlier, that suddenly made sense.

Today I'm going to walk you through three things what the testing found, what showed up in my own blood work, and how long it took me to figure it out.

And the lesson sitting underneath all of it. The lesson I want you to carry out of this episode and into your kitchen tonight.

The label is not the truth.
