Buy Your Olive Oil In Bottles, Not Plastic or Cans

Most people are aware that that Bisphenol A  leaches into canned foods. That, according to more than 19,000 scientific studies.

The same danger holds for very similar compounds BPF and BPS (known as regrettable substitutions). Unfortunately, the same bisphenol problem (along with other plastic contaminants such as phthalates) holds true for other food containers, especially plastic.

That’s particularly disappointing for the mainstay of the Mediterranean diet: olive oil.

This published scientific study from 2017 — Bisphenol A exposure assessment from olive oil consumption —    explains why only glass will do if you want to reap the the maximum health benefit.

This caution to avoid plastic containers also holds for all healthy oils.
