Commercial oils are NOT cold pressed. You pay more for those and you have to go beyond your average grocery store to find them. Some are clarified with lye (olive) or hexane (flax).
That is the reason for using Virgin Olive Oil, it requires no clarification, just subsequent pressings. I also have it on good authority that even Organic Flax Seed Oil has been treated with hexane, and that manufacturer's claim is that the Hexane 'goes away' -- where and how? This information came from a private conversation I had with the owner of Solid Gold Dog Food who found and now carries a hexane free Flax Seed Oil. www.solidgoldhealth.com if you want to verify this, talk to Sissy Harrington-McGill. Even when something carries the label USDA certified organic, there are many ways that it could be contaminated and still comply with the requirements of the organic label. Canned organic foods, for example, have an estrogenic compound that is not on the label, because it is used in such small amounts. Well hormones don't have to be in very large amounts, particularly when our exposures to xenoestrogens (estrogen mimicks) are so ubiquitous. Total Load is a very important concept yet it is not applied to individual foods because it takes the sum total of an individual's exposure, not from one product. Let the buyer beware -- and well informed! BTW Lutein is specific for Macular Health -- it is found in Coconut, not sure what else.
