Well, I still think the oil tastes very strong but my initial reaction, when I took the first sip was "I hope that C60 won't eati its way through my throat". I have never drunk pure olive oil so I never experienced that. Sadly I can't judge whether the strong taste is a rancid taste or not. My husband says the oil is fine, but then again, he's the major shareholder of our company :-)
Compare sampling some of the C60 processed oil with the unprocessed oil right out of the bottle. My oil in my C60 bottle is very mild tasting with no real flavor...unlike EVOO. I assume the C60 processing is having some effect on the oil? I can attest to feeling benefits from the C60 though. As reported earlier, my exercise stamina/endurance has definitely increased and I have less tolerance for caffeine. I did notice the slight "lung ache" that would briefly occur shortly after dosing but that seems to be lessening. Somebody described it as the burning that occurs in the lungs after being winded from a very vigorous aerobic workout and it did resemble that for me only milder. That was very concerning but it seems lessening with each day...either that or I'm getting used to it.
