What is the difference between "pure and nonoxidized" and "pure and fresher"?

It's saying that there were two pure and nonoxidized samples, the two Mexican refined oils.

There were no "extra virgin" samples that were both pure and nonoxidized, though of the pure extra-virgin samples, the CalPure one was the least oxidized. They had 2 samples that were low oxidization but were apparently roughly 100% soybean oil.

Nothing? They both mean:

1) The oil is actually from the plant advertised and hasn't been adulterated

2) The oil hasn't gone bad yet

"Fresher" is relative. It might be a little oxidized.

They state explicitly that it is partially oxidized. Only two brands produced nonoxidized samples, and both of those brands were refined oil. Thus, every virgin oil was not nonoxidized.
