My approach is that if you want to be safe, look at what people have had success with for the longest period of time.
This excludes most processed foods, if not all. Stuff like seed oils and refined sugar are the obvious examples.

Wait, what?I thought the pit of the olive is a seed? Isn't it possible to smash the thing into some earth and get a new olive tree out of it?

Pretty sure the oil comes from the olive fruit, not the pit
