I promise to ask. I will say that in speaking with Gina (in regard to citrus) - she says that having citrus juices at the same time as injesting oleic acid (ie - olive oil or walnuts) cuts down on the absorption of oleic acid. Therefore, you can have that glass of orange juice later in the day but not within a few hours of the olive oil.

Calcium and iron are supposedly bad because they are oxidants and provide free radicals in the body (which damage cells which is why antioxidants are taken).

Best regards
