Based on a review of records from scholarly journals, the top seven adulterated ingredients in the database are olive oil, milk, honey, saffron, orange juice, coffee, and apple juice.

Coffee and milk?

Right?! Sometimes I just want to throw my hands up in the air and shout out some cuss words. It's exhausting trying to keep up with who you can trust. I can't freaking make or grow everything myself, you know...ain't nobody got time for that.

I do cook with butter and olive oil.

LEAVE MY BUTTER ALONE!

I'm glad it wasn't on the list.
