I suffered from metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar or oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flourless grain bread, rice, oats, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
Yes best testimony, pretty much sums up my journey 9 months ago. Previous to that decades of never satisfied and cravings, all gone. I have reversed the first stages of diabetes and avoided taking metformin, fatty liver gone, lower blood pressure, weight loss and energy in my muscles.
Awesome! I could have written (and have written) exactly the same way how whole foods plant based lifestyle improved my health immensely. I had to check that it wasn’t me that posted your comment 😅
Keep the fiber in the fat... Eat the olive oil in the olives.. Eat the avocado oil in the Avocado. Eat the seed and nut oils in the nuts and seeds, yes? Makes sense to me.
Fascinating! Monica is exceptionally articulate. 👏 I have always wondered why stripping the fiber and protein out of a food still leaves it so healthy and have always wondered whether just eating nuts and seeds is healthier than olive oil.
@@vrado441Food industry experts say EVOO is one of the most counterfeit foods on the market. To be assured of purity we must buy from a controlled food supply chain like Costco which regularly verifies purity. Honey is another widely counterfeit food. You may want to research food counterfeiting. I was personally shocked by how it is the Wild, Wild West for food safety including the counterfeit issues. 😭
Note that the study doesn't limit caloric intake, so if people ate less calories in the low oil weeks, they did so without trying. However, the study also notes that the difference in LDL cholesterol levels was merely suggestive, not statistically significant. In other words: the study shows that going WFPB, with or without EVOO, is healthier than what people normally do (shocker). It suggests, but doesn't prove that avoiding oil, and replacing it with fatty plant foods is helpful. More research is clearly needed.
Calories on low olive oil: 1338. Calories on high olive oil: 1745. As far as I know, calorie restriction usually lowers cholesterol levels. So how can we know it was the low oil that caused it here, and not the calorie restriction?
People were eating what they felt like eating. So any caloric restriction happened naturally. That's a feature, not a bug. One of the issues with adding oil to your diet is that you're involuntarily adding a very high calorically dense food. In other words: it's harder to lose weight if you include olive oil in every meal.
@@k.h.6991 Agree 100%. But there are people who can maintain optimal weight while consuming olive oil. Is it still unhealthy for them? I don’t think this study answers that question.
So calories should be the same for the optimal study, in your opinion. Even though people were eating till satiated. How do you plan for scientists to do that? Please I would love to know how does one force someone to eat more than they want and naturally can? Stick a tube in their esophagus? Sweet talk them? Point a hamer at them with a finger wagin? Offer them some money ? Just joking of course. This is a great study, you give people different food, they eat as much as they want , you measure the results. It is applicable to real life situation.
@@k.h.6991 Without restriction, someone actually chose to eat only 1338 calories? That doesn't sound plausible. Oil and fat are high in calories, but also more satiating. That's why when you eat a bowl of plain white rice, you get hungry again 30 minutes later.
Bottom line, more EVOO doesn't make it better, stay with moderate use every day. Effect on Lipid Profiles: Both high and low EVOO diets led to improvements in lipid profiles, including reductions in LDL-C (bad cholesterol), total cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B. These improvements are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
I used to work in a deli and the absolute worst job that no one wanted was cleaning the shelving and walls around the olive storage area. The oil built up, and was almost impossible to remove. I don’t want that in my body. I was sceptical before that, thinking it couldn’t be that bad. I’ve always agreed that we should be eating as close to nature intended as possible but then I saw how tacky and difficult to remove it was, first hand. It even resisted adhesive removers, scourers etc… it truly was a nightmare to get off.
@@plantbasedethos5726I think that might be true with the fibre intact, as in eating the whole olive, but I’m not keen on putting the extracted oil in me.
@@DJaneSyria Absolutely it makes sense. If I put olive oil in my skin for example, it takes a lot of soap to get it off, it's hard to remove it using only water, I see your point!
Thank u so much for this platform where we learn the latest studies and results to help us make changes in our own lives and get better. I went plant based 3 years ago and cut out most oils. I lost a lot of weight. I have limited my oil intake, even olive oil, and I feel good and look amazing. Thank u for bringing the best guests!
What were the foods of the entrants BEFORE the study. Simply changing from poor highly processed foods to a "whole food" type diet would have had a significant effect.

Would be interesting to have Dr. Tim Spector (Dr. Bulsiewicz's colleague) on a show to hear why he is now promoting intake of more high quality, extra virgin olive oil. Curious as to the studies he sites vs other plant based doctors that discourage oils.
Fat oxidizes and goes rancid which is very inflammatory for the body. Instead of eating ultraprocessed concentrated to 100% fat removing the pulp and fiber and oxidizing on the shelf, we should seek whole unrefined olives.
There are benefits of olive oil that she is not mentioning. The antioxidant oleocanthal has a strong anti-inflammatory property similar to ibuprofen. She focuses too much on the fat.
@@k.h.6991 Yeah and since Olive Oil starts going rancid from the start you are pitting those "anti-oxidants" against the daily increasing inflammatory properties due to that rancidity.

Dr Gil Carvalho, who is familiar with the research, seems to imply that a moderate amount ( one tablespoon per day), of olive oil is actually good for you - containing the perfect blend of: saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats ,- as well as a plethora of POLYPHENOLS!
Interesting to note that both groups had decent amounts of fat… the low olive oil group were still at a macro ratio of about 32% versus almost 48% on the high olive oil group
This is a poor study. First the results were not statistically significant. Second, not enough people to get stats data. Third, onlyn4 weeks does not really prove anything. Fourth the study does not conclude that olive oil is bad in any way. I read the whole study and totall misleading.

You want a long term study? For THOUSANDS of YEARS people were living in the Mediterranean area and consuming up to ONE LITER OF OLIVE OIL PER WEEK. You have a 4 week study with 20 people and you have the nerve to say olive oil is bad! OMG!
I believe it was 40 people in the study. The whole olive is the unrefined food that nature makes; olive oil is the ultraprocessed refined and concentrated to 100% fat in a bottle.
I remember a popular series of books that started with "A Year In Provence," by Peter Mayle. He suggested drinking olive oil prior to drinking lots of alcohol as an antidote to inebriation.
Remember how certain they were about butter, fat, and eggs. We went from butter to margin and fat to sugar. Now people would rather consume fake meat than eat the real thing.
Look at peoples shopping trollies next time you're in the supermarket. People eat EVERYTHING and don't give a rats about the ingredients. They eat according to their classically conditioned familial addiction pattern and not what the "authorities" tell them. Most people get their nutritional and medical advice from TV commercials.
they are still certain about butter, fat, and eggs. Sugar was never recommend as a health food, quite to the contrary. People in Asia were eating tofu and tempeh for thousands of years and their cancer and heart diseases rates are much lower than those in the US.
@@theunknownsamurai7426 the overwhelming vast majority of cardiologists would prefer avocado over butter, and recommend to reduce saturated fat as much as possible. when it comes to eggs for people with heart disease most cardiologists would recommend to reduce egg consumption to 1 a day at most.
So the many of our studies are done by cardiologists and the markers are heart health focused. If you talked to endocrinologists about the need for fats for hormone production they may have a different take. Or those who say more fats help rebuild cell walls, etc. I know when the oncologist was going to take one of my ovaries he wanted to take both because he saw ovaries as 'cancers waiting to happen.' But when I talked to the endocrinologist he said, 'definitely keep the one or you will experience greater brain fog and other symptoms. We all see the world and health through certain grids or perspectives so it would be interesting to see the same type of studies done studying other parameters such as hormones rather than only heart health. I don't think a teaspoon of high polyphenol olive oil is going to hurt anyone and may help some. But nobody really takes 4 T. a day so I'm not sure its really a valid comparison with a teaspoon of olive oil--and olive oil varies greatly in its properties so if just using some off the grocery shelf, I'm not sure really tells us as much as say 1 T. a day of high polyphenol oil verses no oil at all. I heard a cancer doc on youtube say that in all his experience people with a cholesterol under 180 had a higher risk of cancer. That he could predict based on a persons cholesterol level how they would come through their cancer which I found very interesting and would like to have had more info. We have become too cholesterol focused in America and pride ourselves in getting lower and lower when that may not be as smart as the cardiologists might think...
I follow the Harvard plate, half fruit and veg, 1/4 whole grains, 1/4 beans and either nuts or olive oil. I think it’s more about dietary pattern, which can be varied.
I hope one day Pcrm will design a study with a healthy group that’s at ideal bmi and test oil or fish in the diet. So many studies are focused on weight loss and the associated bio markers that improve from that.
Not that much. One table spoon for your salad, one tablespoon for your rice or pasta ,one tablespoon for your hummus, and one tablespoon for baking or frying. For people who are not meticulous about weighing and measuring a "drizzle " can turn out to be 2 or 3 tablespoons.
When Dr. Aggarwal repeats the study, if she forces the two diets to have the same fat content, she will learn whether olive oil is better than other fats. This is not at all the same question as "is olive oil good for you?" We largely know the answer to the first question, which is that olive oil is better than fats high in saturated fat, and therefore I don't think that would be a very interesting study. The question of interest is, if you're eating a plant-based diet, is adding olive oil actually good for you, or should you minimize it? To answer that question, her existing (small sample) study design seems better, to me.
Olive oil is an ultra processed food. Olives are a whole food. Pick up a bottle of olive oil and look at it with your eyes. pick up a jar of olives and look at it with your eyes. One has been changed. No different than sugar cane and a bag of sugar.
Lol I started eating olive oil like a lunatic and my health is better than before… I dunno I am interested in the research but currently I „believe“ in olive oil…
What really made me take notice was attempting to clean olive oil off walls and shelving in the olive storage area of the deli I worked in - it was the most frustrating job. No way I’m putting that in my body!
She completely ignored all of the benefits of the Polyphenols in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. LDL is only one blood marker - what about hCRP, GGT, ALT, APoB? All of these markers improved for me when taking ORGANIC EVOO. Also, she did not state what type of Olive oil used in the study. There is a lot of crappy olive oil out their additives. Not convinced by her 40 person study
Well all those "hCRP, GGT, ALT, APoB" markes will improve significantly when taken off the SAD and put on a WFPB diet the Polyphenols in EVOO of course will further enhance those markes surely, but that was not the goal of this study. She just wanted to show that your CVD risk is reduced by reduction of Saturated Fat intake which this study suggest that it does (higher drop of LDL which will improve outcome for people who have a high LDL/CVD risk). She said herself more research is needed with a better study design, which is something she wants to do, it's just as always a question of funding. What she didn't ignore was the higher saturated Fat intake in the high olive oil group, think olive oil contains about 14% saturated fat even EVOO, you find Polyphenols as well in whole foods it's better to eat them abundantly than to chuck down a processed very high caloric oil.
There is no fiber or pulp in olive oil. It has been changed, you can used the words. Try. Ultraprocessed. Fat in a bottle is no different than sugar in a bag. You have been programmed by oil propaganda.
BASICALLY, this was a comparison of eating a 1300 cal plant diet with 1300 cal plant diet plus an 400 extra calories of olive oil. Click on the paper and download data charts
I wonder what would have happened if it was 400kcal of polyunsaturated oils. Maybe no major difference? 400kcal/day would make a lot of difference for lowering LDL.
@@carinaekstrom1 there are plenty of studies comparing oils. Olive Oil comes on top, as this video says. The question is: should you be adding oil at all?
I've been studying nutrition for many years and olive oil is most confusing food that I really can't claim if it's healthy or not. I've made several experiments and there's benefits of using olive oil specifically for cognition and inflammation, on the other hand my cardio fitness improves slightly when I don't consume any olive oil. I live in Spain in the mediterranian so I guess I'm a bit brainwashed about using it as a source of healthy fats
@@chezsuzie yeh absolutely i agree, but It seems that olive oil also has some benefits when it's cold press. I live in spain and we make olivada, which is what you mentioned, just ground up olives!
@@chezsuzie the main thing I think it's probably better about olive oil is the polyphenols and oleocanthal compounds that are not presents in the olives, because olives have to be cured in brine and losses those components
@@plantbasedethos5726 What about consuming olive leaves instead for the beneficial compounds without the oil? I’ve seen olive leaf capsules and extract as well.
Another disappointing Olive oil expert who doesn't talk about anything being talked about in the longevity space. Polyphenols and the reduction in Oxidated stress from eating is why we are here. She said next to nothing on the polyphenols my guess is she doesn't know 😅 and the Oxidated stress wasn't mentioned at all 🤷.
@@k.h.6991 She is aware of it but in the video she skimmed over it with no info or opinion on it. The isn't really an expert talking about Olive oil this is a scientist talking about a single study they did. For the record some of the most measured folks currently have Olive oil in their diet Bryan Johnson being an obvious one BUT I'll also raise everyone Siim land who doesn't sell it but also recommends it and last I checked he was #1 on the longevity boards. Will definitely be continuing my 2 tablespoons of EVOO daily.
This study sounds highly suspect, and seems to conflict with other studies. Also, this is more informative on the value and risk of oils: ruclips.net/video/CRohMEQm9ng/видео.html
That's not a "study" It's just Tubsy Lustig delivering a (ho-hum) usual YT video sermon with no references ("references" refer to "studies"). Like Ken Berry, Shawn Faker, Saladino, et al...Lustig is scarce, if not vacant, on scientific evidence. Which is fine for his disciples because nearly all of them can't handle big sciency words.
@@digdeeep Keep telling yourself that, as you eat ultra low fat as suggested. You have to question scientific results from an organization with close ties PETA.
I think this "advice" is rubbish People Jealous of Mediterranean diet It works its best. Humans need some sort of oil better to have olives or real olive oil.
Who is the population that was measured? Do people with Mediterranean ancestry get affected the same way? We're they consuming another fats? In my case, i don't consume any other fats regularly, other than olive oil. As a person with mediterranean, i stay away from coconut oil and only consume avocados on occasion.
Again, this isn’t the way to talk about olive oil or anything. Don’t demonize olive oil with extreme thinking. Do a separate study about the kinds of olive oil that are sold in different places. There are dif manufacturing processes, where the olives come from, how soon olives pressed into oil after harvesting, the bottles or plastic they’re stored in, and many other questions .
Appears to be very vegany! Olive oil can help control your glucose levels. And you need to use a single source Olive oil. A lot of stuff out there is just junk!
Q1: Is it possible to unrefine olive oil by adding the fiber back into it? Q2: If avocado is promoted as a source of healthy fat, why not olives, which provide fat plus fiber-assuming you can get unsalted olives?
Yeah-just purée the olives! If eating the extracted oil has some benefits, can you imagine how healthy eating the whole olive might be? If you’re worried about the salt, drain and rinse the olives before you purée. I usually add vinegar, mustard and shallot to make a dressing.

@@theunknownsamurai7426 the overwhelming vast majority of cardiologists would prefer avocado over butter, and recommend to reduce saturated fat as much as possible. when it comes to eggs for people with heart disease most cardiologists would recommend to reduce egg consumption to 1 a day at most.
What was the result? What was the criterium? LDL-lowering? Please speak clearer...
I'm trying to post links to science that disputes this video but most of it is getting deleted?
So the many of our studies are done by cardiologists and the markers are heart health focused. If you talked to endocrinologists about the need for fats for hormone production they may have a different take. Or those who say more fats help rebuild cell walls, etc. I know when the oncologist was going to take one of my ovaries he wanted to take both because he saw ovaries as 'cancers waiting to happen.' But when I talked to the endocrinologist he said, 'definitely keep the one or you will experience greater brain fog and other symptoms. We all see the world and health through certain grids or perspectives so it would be interesting to see the same type of studies done studying other parameters such as hormones rather than only heart health. I don't think a teaspoon of high polyphenol olive oil is going to hurt anyone and may help some. But nobody really takes 4 T. a day so I'm not sure its really a valid comparison with a teaspoon of olive oil--and olive oil varies greatly in its properties so if just using some off the grocery shelf, I'm not sure really tells us as much as say 1 T. a day of high polyphenol oil verses no oil at all. I heard a cancer doc on youtube say that in all his experience people with a cholesterol under 180 had a higher risk of cancer. That he could predict based on a persons cholesterol level how they would come through their cancer which I found very interesting and would like to have had more info. We have become too cholesterol focused in America and pride ourselves in getting lower and lower when that may not be as smart as the cardiologists might think...
There’s lots of other ways to consume fat-nuts, seeds, even greens have some fat. Heck-you can even eat the olives themselves. No need to eat oil!
I follow the Harvard plate, half fruit and veg, 1/4 whole grains, 1/4 beans and either nuts or olive oil. I think it’s more about dietary pattern, which can be varied.
How do you like those apples Dr. Gundry?
Not doing something (like buying and using olive oils) is easier.
I hope one day Pcrm will design a study with a healthy group that’s at ideal bmi and test oil or fish in the diet. So many studies are focused on weight loss and the associated bio markers that improve from that.
Four tablespoons of olive oil a day seems like is a lot.
That's 1/4 cup, which is almost 500 calories.
Not that much. One table spoon for your salad, one tablespoon for your rice or pasta ,one tablespoon for your hummus, and one tablespoon for baking or frying. For people who are not meticulous about weighing and measuring a "drizzle " can turn out to be 2 or 3 tablespoons.
When Dr. Aggarwal repeats the study, if she forces the two diets to have the same fat content, she will learn whether olive oil is better than other fats. This is not at all the same question as "is olive oil good for you?" We largely know the answer to the first question, which is that olive oil is better than fats high in saturated fat, and therefore I don't think that would be a very interesting study. The question of interest is, if you're eating a plant-based diet, is adding olive oil actually good for you, or should you minimize it? To answer that question, her existing (small sample) study design seems better, to me.
We know extra virgin olive oil is the best oil. That doesn't mean it's healthy to consume, when compared to avoiding oil completely.
Olive oil is an ultra processed food. Olives are a whole food. Pick up a bottle of olive oil and look at it with your eyes. pick up a jar of olives and look at it with your eyes. One has been changed. No different than sugar cane and a bag of sugar.
Extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed, is NOT an ultra processed food.
@@b.porterv7418 We say what we need to to make it work for us. It is ultra processed.
@@b.porterv7418 Yes it is. All the nutrients have been removed except fot the fat.
Whole olives actually goes through quite a process before it is packaged and sold. I don’t think it is normally eaten as it is when you pick it.
@@reason3581 True. Whole foods are best. We can always cut out processing and it will yield health results.
Lol I started eating olive oil like a lunatic and my health is better than before… I dunno I am interested in the research but currently I „believe“ in olive oil…
What really made me take notice was attempting to clean olive oil off walls and shelving in the olive storage area of the deli I worked in - it was the most frustrating job. No way I’m putting that in my body!
@@DJaneSyria 😀
If the olive oil is replacing something less healthy it would make sense for you to feel better .
It makes me feel better too. There are benefits of olive oil that she is not mentioning.
@@janettesheperd2786 yeah it goes with lentis and legumes a lot, while I went much lower on sugar.
Did I get this right? More olive oil = not healthier, if not healthy at all.
She completely ignored all of the benefits of the Polyphenols in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. LDL is only one blood marker - what about hCRP, GGT, ALT, APoB? All of these markers improved for me when taking ORGANIC EVOO. Also, she did not state what type of Olive oil used in the study. There is a lot of crappy olive oil out their additives. Not convinced by her 40 person study
Well all those "hCRP, GGT, ALT, APoB" markes will improve significantly when taken off the SAD and put on a WFPB diet the Polyphenols in EVOO of course will further enhance those markes surely, but that was not the goal of this study. She just wanted to show that your CVD risk is reduced by reduction of Saturated Fat intake which this study suggest that it does (higher drop of LDL which will improve outcome for people who have a high LDL/CVD risk). She said herself more research is needed with a better study design, which is something she wants to do, it's just as always a question of funding. What she didn't ignore was the higher saturated Fat intake in the high olive oil group, think olive oil contains about 14% saturated fat even EVOO, you find Polyphenols as well in whole foods it's better to eat them abundantly than to chuck down a processed very high caloric oil.
The premise that healthy olive oil causing higher LDLs is bad, is wrong. Go back to study some more
There is no fiber or pulp in olive oil. It has been changed, you can used the words. Try. Ultraprocessed. Fat in a bottle is no different than sugar in a bag. You have been programmed by oil propaganda.
BASICALLY, this was a comparison of eating a 1300 cal plant diet with 1300 cal plant diet plus an 400 extra calories of olive oil. Click on the paper and download data charts
I wonder what would have happened if it was 400kcal of polyunsaturated oils. Maybe no major difference? 400kcal/day would make a lot of difference for lowering LDL.
@@carinaekstrom1 there are plenty of studies comparing oils. Olive Oil comes on top, as this video says. The question is: should you be adding oil at all?
@@k.h.6991 As far as lowering LDL, polyunsaturated oils like rapeseed (canola) seem to do better than olive oil.
I've been studying nutrition for many years and olive oil is most confusing food that I really can't claim if it's healthy or not. I've made several experiments and there's benefits of using olive oil specifically for cognition and inflammation, on the other hand my cardio fitness improves slightly when I don't consume any olive oil. I live in Spain in the mediterranian so I guess I'm a bit brainwashed about using it as a source of healthy fats
Why not consume the olives themselves? I use olive purée as a salad dressing. It’s quite delicious.
@@chezsuzie yeh absolutely i agree, but It seems that olive oil also has some benefits when it's cold press. I live in spain and we make olivada, which is what you mentioned, just ground up olives!
@@chezsuzie the main thing I think it's probably better about olive oil is the polyphenols and oleocanthal compounds that are not presents in the olives, because olives have to be cured in brine and losses those components
@@plantbasedethos5726 Interesting! I wonder if they’re completely gone?
@@plantbasedethos5726 What about consuming olive leaves instead for the beneficial compounds without the oil? I’ve seen olive leaf capsules and extract as well.
Another disappointing Olive oil expert who doesn't talk about anything being talked about in the longevity space. Polyphenols and the reduction in Oxidated stress from eating is why we are here. She said next to nothing on the polyphenols my guess is she doesn't know 😅 and the Oxidated stress wasn't mentioned at all 🤷.
It would be very unlikely that she doesn't know. It's the most widely advertised fact on olive oil.
@@k.h.6991 She is aware of it but in the video she skimmed over it with no info or opinion on it. The isn't really an expert talking about Olive oil this is a scientist talking about a single study they did.
For the record some of the most measured folks currently have Olive oil in their diet Bryan Johnson being an obvious one BUT I'll also raise everyone Siim land who doesn't sell it but also recommends it and last I checked he was #1 on the longevity boards.
Will definitely be continuing my 2 tablespoons of EVOO daily.
If the extracted oil of the olives is good for you…can you imagine the benefit of just eating the whole olive in its entirety? 🤔
This study sounds highly suspect, and seems to conflict with other studies. Also, this is more informative on the value and risk of oils:
ruclips.net/video/CRohMEQm9ng/видео.html
That's not a "study" It's just Tubsy Lustig delivering a (ho-hum) usual YT video sermon with no references ("references" refer to "studies"). Like Ken Berry, Shawn Faker, Saladino, et al...Lustig is scarce, if not vacant, on scientific evidence. Which is fine for his disciples because nearly all of them can't handle big sciency words.
they are presenting data out of context.
@@digdeeep Keep telling yourself that, as you eat ultra low fat as suggested. You have to question scientific results from an organization with close ties PETA.
Some people in the long distance back packing world will drink olive oil for extra calories on the trail.
Some do. When I did the Pacific Crest Trail I didn't use any oil at all.
And most don't......
I think this "advice" is rubbish
People Jealous of Mediterranean diet
It works its best. Humans need some sort of oil better to have olives or real olive oil.
Very suspicious.
"Very suspicious"....very vacuous.
Who is the population that was measured? Do people with Mediterranean ancestry get affected the same way? We're they consuming another fats? In my case, i don't consume any other fats regularly, other than olive oil. As a person with mediterranean, i stay away from coconut oil and only consume avocados on occasion.
Again, this isn’t the way to talk about olive oil or anything. Don’t demonize olive oil with extreme thinking. Do a separate study about the kinds of olive oil that are sold in different places. There are dif manufacturing processes, where the olives come from, how soon olives pressed into oil after harvesting, the bottles or plastic they’re stored in, and many other questions .
Appears to be very vegany! Olive oil can help control your glucose levels. And you need to use a single source Olive oil. A lot of stuff out there is just junk!
Dietary fat causes insulin resistance.
Fry speaking is the worst
Vocal fry?
Yes 😂😂😂😂
May be you talk about fake olive oil!!!
This was the worst "Physicians committee" ( usually very even handed and informative) I have wasted my time with
Q1: Is it possible to unrefine olive oil by adding the fiber back into it?
Q2: If avocado is promoted as a source of healthy fat, why not olives, which provide fat plus fiber-assuming you can get unsalted olives?
Yeah-just purée the olives! If eating the extracted oil has some benefits, can you imagine how healthy eating the whole olive might be?
If you’re worried about the salt, drain and rinse the olives before you purée. I usually add vinegar, mustard and shallot to make a dressing.
Stick with beef tallow.
Case closed. There's nothing healthy about olive oil.
Olive (cold pressed) oil is God's food for humans,this person is delusional?
