I have a product that says it contains HIGH OLEIC sunflower oil. I know your book mentions to avoid sunflower oil, but it also mentions that oleic acid blocks brain damage. Does that mean that this is an acceptable ingredient?n

Until the time comes when there is a regulation about what “high-oleic” actually means, avoid these oils when possible and get a good dose of genuine COOC-certified EVOO in to protect you from the occasions where it is consumed.
