Extra-virgin olive oil mimics painkiller

news @ nature.com�-�Extra-virgin olive oil mimics painkiller�-�Oil may help stave off cancer, as long as you stick to the good stuff.

The bad news is that the extra-virgin olive oil at your local supermarket probably doesn't contain very much of the compound called oleocanthal. It is found only in freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil, and heat and time take their toll on the efficacy of the chemical.
The good news is that the scientists that discovered this compound have created and patented a synthetic version of the chemical.
Let's hope its safety is proven, and they develop a pill version of the synthetic version.

My One Question would be: If lutein is found in higher levels when you eat canned tomatoes as opposed to eating fresh tomatoes (because the cell walls break during the heating process)
similarly, then would oleocanthal STILL REMAIN in high amounts inside whole preserved olives that had never been crushed??
