Nutrient Analysis: Olive Oil

Olive Oil

The numbers I found on makesoylent for Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids were very different than those on cronometer. I've backed the cronometer values with data from nutritiondata.self.com, but I'd like to see additional sources.

Here are the justifications for my numbers:
