  • There’s a question about the olive oil in a popular coffee chain beverage.
    • There is a UC Davis study that lists uncut olive oils. (14:30)
      • However, the study is several years old now; as a result, they are not sure how current the list of good olive oil brands is.

Getting Called Out

    • Phthalates make plastics more durable; however, they are considered a “forever chemical."
      • This means they do not leave the body.
    • They have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, as well as causing hormonal dysregulation.
