Like a virgin

The Mediterranean diet has been shown to promote longer, healthier lives. One of the key components of this diet is virgin olive oil, which by itself has been linked to a host of cardiovascular benefits.

That is, of course, if your olive oil truly is a virgin.

Sure, there's plenty of room for a lame Popeye joke to be told here, but I think the facts in this matter are far more interesting. According to the Italian Agricultural Ministry, 205 of the 757 olive oil producers in their country sold or were caught trying to sell fake virgin olive oil.

To pull of this dastardly deed, the producers tried to pass off colored canola oil as olive oil. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that pesky ... oh wait, wrong cartoon.
