New Antioxidant Compounds Have Been Identified In Foods Such As Olive Oil, Honey And Nuts Using Two Analytical Techniques

Oh-oh - honey, nuts and olive oil may be bad for you. (see, e.g., here, here and here)
"Scientists at the University of Granada have identified and characterized for the first time different antioxidant compounds from foods such as olive oil, honey, walnuts and a medicinal herb called Teucrium polium. They have used two new techniques, capillary electrophoresis and high resolution liquid chromatography, that have enabled them to identify and quantify a great part of the phenolic compounds contained in these foods."
Oops.
