Avocado oil is naturally low in saturated fat and is perceived as a \u201c<u>cleaner<\/u>\u201d alternative to vegetable oils, meaning companies can package products as healthier, more premium choices by marketing them as \u201cmade with avocado oil.&#8221; The boom helped create demand for the oil but that demand wasn&#8217;t met with new industry standards for purity, which helped create the conditions for adulteration pointed out in the UC Davis study. Today, a producer can easily increase profits by blending a small amount of avocado oil with cheaper oils like canola or safflower, while keeping marketing the same. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1548\">\u2018Extremely Troubled\u2019: Read Judge\u2019s Scathing Criticism Of Todd Blanche In IRS Case<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>TANGENT<\/h2>\n<p>The new findings released Wednesday extend a pattern UC Davis has been documenting for years.
