I don't want to derail this thread because I'm also curious about this, so I'm sorry but I wanted to chime in on the olive oil discussion. I also suspect Progesterone In Orthomolecular Medicine might have some interesting information on this topic but I haven't the time to re-read it just now.

Ray Peat talks about half a teaspoon of olive oil in the context of a replacement for coconut oil in the carrot salad or as an addition to mushrooms for the germicidal action. He does state that roughly 70% of olive oil in the USA is cut with seed oils, but he actually recommends it for helping with absorption of certain compounds into the skin when applied topically (although he says to mix it on the skin and not make a mixture first), specifically in the context of Progest-E.
He says in one interview that there is an issue with more than two teaspoons of it a day is that the 10% PUFA may end up accumulating and cause the same issues.
He mentions a few times that it should solidify in the refrigerator. I'm in the UK and I've come across different batches from the same brand which do and do not solidify, and I've taken it to mean that those which do not are not pure/real.
As a caveat to it being the most "faked" food, one specific thing is that to qualify as "extra virgin" it must be protected adequately from light, since it's very photo-sensitive. If you're looking for an EVOO, I'd recommend a glass container, and one that is extremely dark or opaque.
The bioenergetic search gave me clips of all the relevant interviews mentioned above, but my browser was not behaving itself and I couldn't copy the appropriate links for you, I'm sorry.
