Wow! I am amazed that this study of 40 people is being discussed. And how long was this study? I am using and will continue to use EVOO. My health is doing much better using it. Moderation is the key for me. And always will.
It's really important to note that the participants in this study were OBESE (average BMI of 32) and more than half of them were on statins and blood pressure meds. Both of the vegan diets were quite high in fat, and the EVOO group were consuming 400 calories MORE per day than the no-oil group. Also the "good" HDL dropped dramatically in the no oil group. Nothing in this study suggests there is any reason to reduce intake of EVOO in people who are not overweight and do not have high cholesterol.
and bingo was his name-o, i.e u r exactly right! If ppl would realize that healthy individuals, ie not obese have entirely differnt systems and reactions, they would realize these studies need to be taken with grains of salt, or salt mines more like.
At the 9:23 mark of the podcast, Dr Barnard mentions “they were healthy people.” So, I am not arguing but just wondering where did you get your information about these participants from?
@@allee3476 It's in the data: "Table S1 Baseline Comparisons of Demographic and Clinical Outcomes by Diet Order Randomization" lists the average BMI for participants as 31.9. And the methodology section clearly states they only recruited patients already at risk for CVD: "Adults 18 to 79 years at borderline to high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease... were recruited from medical clinics." Also, 53% were taking cholesterol lowering meds, 60% were taking BP meds, and 33% were taking anticlotting meds. Dr. Barnard clearly did not read the study!
Doctor Barnard, Chuck, and the PCRM are a treasure. So few Doctors and organizations trying to actually help the health of people. Most healthcare providers don't know how and don't care to learn how. Whole Food Plant Based Vegan of 7 years. So thankful for all the vegans who suffer attacks to get the word out. It cured my diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
@@ketojoe0155 Trust in science. The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies) Outcome: The WFPB diet can be seen as an effective, safe option for weight loss and chronic disease risk and quality of life improvements. Key foods included whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits. No mandated exercise or calorie counting was implemented. The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped. The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs. The BROAD study, however, lasted only 3 months, yet the plant-based group not only lost significant weight, they kept it off. This study ran from August 2014 to 2015 and was extended to 2017.

I follow a lot of podcasts and they are hit or miss. Sometimes I listen, other times I miss them. With Chuck and Dr Barnard I am always going to listen - I learn a lot, respect them entirely and find them so very easy and pleasant. Vegan for about 15 years now and always tweaking with new studies and data which are presented so well. Would love to hear more about diets and changes needed for those of us in their 70s and beyond. Nutritional needs change.
Doctor Neal Barnard looks great. Well into his 70s and his body and mind works great. He helps people everyday. I wish some of these haters would make their own video and we all can put the hit on the haters.
Actually, I was thinking his frame looks small, and he's swimming in his suit. He's also not well into his 70's? He's only 71. He seems cognitively alert, so he's got that.
these livestream videos are always fun! I always look forward to them in the morning when they appear - they really brighten my day - the interactions, the flurry of the live chat. It's just fun to watch the video and engage in the comments section at the same time - so much for my brain to participate in - I love it!
UK BIOBANK STUDY: Looked at 300 people following a low carbohydrate (keto) diet and compared them to 1200 people on a standard diet. It concluded that the risk of having a heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke was double that of those following the standard diet. Other things to note on a keto diet include: high cholesterol, constipation, and a smelly breath.
It takes approxinately 44 olives to make 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. So in this study, the olive oil eaters would have consumed the equivalent of 160 whole olives. No one would consume that many olives in a day. Just eat a few whole olives, not olive oil.
IF saturated fat is so bad for us, please explain how those promoting the carnivore diet, mainly Dr Ken Berry (PHD), Dr Philip Ovadia (cardio surgeon) and Dr Jordan Peterson, among others, are having great blood work results, reversing chronic conditions like diabetes, and maintaining healthy outcomes??
For how long did it help I wonder? I tried that as well....at first it was great then my numbers went sky high in my blood work. My doctor was so concerned, kept calling me to put me on a myriad of medication. Stopped the high saturated fats immediately and never looked back. WFPB for me. My numbers are now excellent. I do believe people's genetics play a role and some people can handle saturated fats. Not me. Genetic testing demonstrated it.
@@melanie.3837 Jordan Peterson, his daughter & wife have been carnivore for 5+ years. Same with the other doctors I mentioned. There is even a lady on YT who has been carnivore for 15 yrs! So it’s not a one-size fits all scenario., not everyone experiences the pitfalls. Maybe you were not eating the fatty cuts of meats? Idk I prefer only lean cuts and I cut off all fat, skin & gristle so carnivore doesn’t appeal to me. I’m more of a seafood/fish eater (pescatarian).
@@SeaStarGazer1111 Exactly, one size does not fit all as I mentioned. My guess is we will not know until our 80's and 90's whether or not our choices were the right ones.
I've also had amazing results from a Keto diet and my bloodwork confirms that. I reversed my type 2 diabetes. Most of my diet now consists of oily fish such as sardines and mackerel, eggs, green leafy vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, and I eat red meat 2-3 times a week. I know from my bloodwork that this video is bullshit.
Everyone is different. You have to eat what works for your body. As for the carnivore diet, I think it's great that they can eat that way and feel good and healthy now. I do believe though if you do carnivore 40, 50 Or 60 years, I believe you will get sick later.😢
I have been doing the 0 fat diet for 2 months now, I'm 54 years old and I feel and look amazing. I started on the starch solution way of eating which changed my life
@@larsnystrom6698 It's impossible to eat zero fat if you're eating vegetables, fruits and starches. Every whole food has fats, proteins and carbs. Spinach for instance is around 12% fat and oats around 15%, these are all the omega's 3's and 6's in the correct ratio's. Furthermore only the fat in plants reaches the GLP receptor at the end of your small intestine, other fats don't reach this signaling receptor (interview with dr. Garth Davis on Ozempec), which firms my believe that we should get all the fats from plant sources.
There is no such thing as a zero fat diet because absolutely every food has some fat in it. We need some essential fatty acids to live. You would die on a zero fat diet but again, you won't because everything has fat.
You can't live with zero fat! And you can not eat without getting some of these fats! I'm 55 still looking like I did in my 30s! But I'm extremely physical and a bodybuilder as well as a lot of arobic exercise and have to have a certain amount of fats to function.
I’ve never found the guys who own the Zoe business particularly convincing. Or studies funded by the olive oil industry for that matter. Or claims that inconvenient scientific evidence is just the result of some dastardly plot by the seed oils industry. EVOO is undoubtedly better than butter, coconut oil, lard, mayonnaise and ordinary olive oil. But is it really the best option? The American Heart Association’s 2017 scientific report on dietary fats and cardiovascular disease concluded that polyunsaturated fats were better than monounsaturated fats and both were significantly better than saturated fats. It also stated “Finally, we note that a trial has never been conducted to test the effect on CHD outcomes of a low-fat diet that increases intake of healthful nutrient-dense carbohydrates and fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes that are now recommended in dietary guidelines.” To my knowledge, this remains case and polyunsaturated fats (and possibly healthy carbs) are still a better option than EVOO.
I’m a recently diagnosed diabetic, vegan for 11 years (vegan for animals period) and vegetarian for 10 years before that. I was eating lots of processed foods. Diet has changed drastically and now eating overwhelmingly Whole Foods and, of course, plant based. What I’m struggling with is your whole no nuts (you benefit tremendously from things like walnuts), no avocados (your brain needs healthy fats) and no 🫒s (which I love) stance.
wow, haven't listend to whole vid yet, but that is bonkers to have no OO, avocadoes or nuts. I live on nuts basically and i'm not even a vegan or vegetarian, tho extremely low meat intake now at midlife, and it's actually brutal (and i know a ton about nutrition and eat usually very well).
@@evaki-g3n As a vegetarian for 10 years I are a ton of dairy and processed foods and as a vegan for 12 years until very recently was eating lots & lots of processed junk foods. I only have myself to blame for my current predicament. 🤷🏻♀️
Couple of thoughts: 1. The study does not note if the calories were equalized during the two phases, weight loss could have affected cholesterol scores. 2. Four weeks is not nearly long enough to reach a new cholesterol baseline. A diet with EVOO may reduce LDL more slowly, but you can’t infer that such a diet is incapable of having an overall similar effect over a longer period of time. 3. The study noted a slower LDL lowering effect on EVOO, but the overwhelming preponderance of data shows notable benefits to EVOO use for cardiovascular health.
@@adribones I may have heard wrong but I thought the 4 weeks was a down time between switching the diets. I wasn't listening that closely so may have missed the length of time while consuming or not consuming oil. I know my cholesterol dropped 40 points in 4 weeks when I eliminated eggs. ( The only animal product I was still occasionally consuming.)
I"m 75, vegan for over a year, no oil of any type. My only vice is peanut butter....I eat 3 tbsp daily. If I didn't spread it on my snack of Ezekiel bread slice or Wasa cracker I would blow away: I don't need to lose another ounce of weight. I eat 1 1/2 cups black beans daily, two half cup servings of oatmeal daily with walnuts and flaxseeds, the higher density plant foods. Don't know how else to add enough calories from plant food to maintain weight.
Remember this is one point of view. There are other wfpb and plant predominant doctors and researchers who see the issue differently. Some even interpret this same study differently. (see Zoe) I would recommend listening to The Proof with Simon Hill. He's amazing and he has amazing guests. Also, Dr Joel Kahn, wfpb cardiologists points to the Predimed study which established olive oil as supportive of cardiovascular health. I think considering your great diet and your low weight one or two tablespoons of olive oil would not be a problem. Another option is avocados. Also, I agree w the other commenter. I'm 71 and have become aware that protein needs increase at this age. I now consume a pure pea protein and eat tempeh and some soy milk.
Hey you sound almost like me everyonengets on me I weigh 130 although I do eat meats only because my mom cooks and I can't resist.she just got a big scare colon cancer went back negative thank God but I she's starting to change her diet.i changed mine because I had a heart attack at 47 now 54 don't take any meds not even aspirin .keep up the good work
Thats strange because I went keto and then to carnivore with lots of sat fat and my cholesterol actually went down. When I tried the vegan diet for 9 months my body was inflammation and I felt like shit. So much that i quit after 9 months. I had a steak that same day and it felt like I was reborn. As for your comment about mother nature, she didnt make any of the fruit or vegetables that we all eat today. Man created nearly all of it. Not to mention its seasonal.
Painter, I’m happy for you, vegan diet is not for everyone, some people do well on it and others don’t ( like my friend, she had to go back to meat/ fish, she became seriously anemic..and feeling much better) btw Dr Bernard looks sick compared to how he 8:38 looked years ago, and he was still a vegan 🤷🏻♀️. Oh btw God made the seeds for fruits and vegetables and gave them to man.
it was likely the carne diet before that made you feel like crap later on, there was a delay, 9 months of a vegan diet is nothing like long enough to make a difference
@@NickSBaileyMany "vegan" diets are unhealthy and consist of junk food. Barnard would recommend a whole food plant based diet that excludes all animal foods, I imagine.
never in my wildest dreams would I see a day when I'm helping Dr. Barnard out! He's always helping me throughout my life! My birthday was less than a week ago - what a great belated birthday gift!
Could we focus a bit on weight gain too? If nuts are mostly bad because of weight gain, I want them, but concern for people who want to gain weight seems lacking here.
yes, few pro's talk about it much bcuz it's a very small number of ppl, and the profoundly negative health issues are almost entirely related to the opposite problem. These negatives, ie midbody fat gain are profoundly comprehensively econoimcally disastrous even medium term to a society /economy as we have seen over the past thirty years in the USofA where i am, with increasingly low numbers of capable ppl to work!
Actually I just stopped olive oil and all oils. We do not need it. It's man made. Instead, I can eat a couple of olives or avocado. We do not need so much fat in our bodies. I like being slim, light, and feeling good! 🙏⚘️💕
FOOD HABITS IN LATER LIFE STUDY was undertaken among five cohorts in Japan, Sweden, Greece and Australia. Legumes were found to be the most important dietary predictor of survival in older people of different ethnicities. The results showed that for every 20 grams (one ounce) increase in daily legumes intake there was an 8% reduction in the risk of death. This study shows that no matter what your ethnic background or where you live, eat more legumes to live longer, especially as you age. Of all the food groups including meat, legumes alone had consistent and statistically significant results.
The EPIC-OXFORD STUDY, part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, examined the diets and health outcomes of over 65,000 participants. It found that vegetarians had a significantly lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to meat-eaters.
For cooking bean patties and such that using liquid to prevent sticking will ruin the pattie, you could try heating the pan to water ball temp before adding rhe pattie. I haven't personally tried this yet with a pattie but it does work good for sauteing without added liquid. I so seldom use oil spray that i dont worry about using some for cooking patties. If you arent familiar with water ball test, look for video on cooking with a stainless steel pan to prevent sticking.
You've emphasized the importance of limiting fats, present in highly caloric oils as well as in nuts, in dairy, etc. You've mentioned that oils and fats affect heart health, by increasing cholesterol and BP. All that having been said, please address the role of fats vis-a-vis brain health and tell us the healthiest fats and diet for the brain. Thank you.
I love Dr Neal Bernard. I'm at 100kg's now after having my second baby. I really have been following him I'd like to see I can lose 20kgs which is a lot but I want to apply everything he says. Hopefully I can see a different in a few months.❤️♥️
Circa minute 32:00, the obvious solution is to avoid SALTED or SWEETENED or ROASTED nuts and seeds (and any other such foods generally). If you eat raw nuts and seeds and chew well, you will find that you become satiated quickly. You have to chew thoroughly to get the most nutritional value from real whole foods. The longer that you spend chewing, the faster you become satisfied with less. Double win!
37:32 what's nice about these events is that they look like they're free to attend and are in really nice locations too! I really hope I can get to it if possible, but if not - I will be by my computer watching PCRM videos and looking at the website. It all helps :)
Google the EPIC study. In Spain the participants who ate only pure EVOO (which is not mixed with seed oils) showed decreased risk of coronary heart disease as well as all cause cardiovascular mortality. They also did the study on a group of Italians post MI.
I've been a clean eating vegan for 50 years, including fresh ground flax and chia seeds and walnuts most days (I make milk for oats and blueberries). I took a EPA/DHA levels test a year ago, the result was 3, well below the expected healthy range. I started taking a supplement and my cognizance performance jumped as measured by the brain game apps I use Elevate and Lumosity, and my conversations have been so much more lively and facile.
All this on purpose. They are saying this about all what we eat. Olive oil is good, but.... Fish us good , but... And so on. For so many years they were telling people dont eat egg yolk, because increasing cholesterol. !!! Now it is proved a myth !!!! Liars
37:32 I love how you have some attendable events - in every location possible. One is near me - so I'll definitely check out to see if I can make it - I really would like to attend an event - and the fact that you're coming to me instead of me going to you - super easy!!! Update: just realized that was a previous event - but that's ok - will keep my eyes peeled for future ones.
In addition to any diet you have to exercise. Do not just rely on any nutrition plan alone. Exercise is not just walking. Its a combination of strength training and cardio.
It’s just all to complicated EAT AS NATURE INTENDED or as close as. No MEAT DAIRY OR EGGS. But definitely not for everyone. Always love listening to you both. Dr Barnard made perfect sense no processed foods. All about the money.
Just started to listen. I like the way the study was set up. Obviously if olive oil lowers cholesterol versus doing nothing, the results should show that. Interesting that blood pressure went down. Ah, 14 percent fat is less than 50 percent, but not as good as zero percent in put of fat. So, I'm thinking this affects the triglycerides not LDLs so much. High fat raises triglicerides and high cholesterol raises LDLs. Now, ask the doctor how we can raise the HDLs!
What's the confusion? It's simple. Expressed oils are not good for you. Get the best oils from food naturally the way nature intended (avocado, nuts & seeds, etc.).
4 tablespoons of olive oil! That’s a huge amount of oil. I use a single tablespoon of home made olive and vinegar dressing for an entire salad and the salad is split at least two ways. There is seldom another source of oil in my diet. I can’t imagine adding that much oil…
Key points: Olive oil has 14% saturated fat in calories (still better than red meat 50% or coconut oil 80% of course) Adding olive oil to vegan diet slows the cholesterol lowering effect Polyphenols in olives may have other benefits, not just about weight loss but overall longevity.
37:32 if all of these events are filmed and live on this channel - I'd sure watch and comment. It can even be a packaged product that's sold eventually!! All the recordings.
I finished my olive leaf presentation. It's up on my website - PCRM can use it if they want (actually anyone is able to use it) - even adding it to the description box of this video if they'd like to.
The Low Olive Oil group in this study ate a 23% calorie restricted diet compared to the other group, totaling only 1338kcal/day, compared to 1745 kcal/day for High Olive Oil group. They did not state these numbers in the paper itself, you have to download the supplemental data file/pdf to find it. Neither did they articulate these differences in the conclusions. This interview does not discuss this fact about the study either. Totally irresponsible. ..What this means? The changes the study found between the diets may simply be due to the extreme calorie restriction, and not due to the lower intake of Olive Oil. For all we know, if it had been an isocaloric study, the results could be opposite.
NURSES' HEALTH STUDY and HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FOLLOW-UP STUDY: These long-term cohort studies in the United States involved over 200,000 participants. They found that a higher intake of plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, was associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease. The emphasis on plant-based sources of protein was particularly noteworthy.

European Food Safety Authority approves that if olive oil contains at least 5mg of the polyphenols HYDROXYTYROSOL + TYROSOL per tablespoon of olive oil it helps prevent lipid oxidation’.
Olive oil drives up my LDL. Two different times (years apart), my LDL went from 90 to almost 120 mg/dL by adding two tablespoons/day of olive for about four months. I did this both times after returning to the gym after a sedentary period. I added the olive oil to increase my calories required by an increase in exercise. I must be very sensitive to saturated fat. By how I eat, my LDL should easily be below 60 mg/dL.
It will drive up your LDL ...and if you're a diabetic, it will drive up your fasting glucose numbers too. Too much added oil in a person's diet over a long period of time, will cause insulin resistance aka Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Barnard touched on that in this episode.
@@charlesfuchs Please provide your source for that claim. Because Joe Rogan said so, does not count. 90 mg/dL is not low. Even as low as 25 mg/dL has not been shown to increase risk of dementia. On the other hand there are plenty of studies showing that high LDL is associated with dementia. You have bought into a bunch of nonsense from keto and carnivore grifters.
Recently I went to an olive growing area and bought loose leaf olive leaf tea to give it a try. I don't yet know it's benefits, but I love it's taste. Very delicious.
Dr Esselstein said oil is oil no matter what don’t eat it! He was a renowned cardiovascular surgeon in Cleveland clinic and specialty in heart surgery. He live in a farm with his parents growing up eating american diet and he do not recommend milk to eat from a cow farming family till he becomes a surgeon and conduct biggest research in asia for people eating meat and consuming oil. To whom you would listens?? Back up by research and surgery expert.
I've found no evidence that he was a cardiovascular surgeon, but he was a general surgeon; also that he was heavily involved in preventative medicine particularly cardiovascular. I really like him a follow his diet as I have cardiovascular disease. I'm wondering weather a little extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing would be ok for me. I'm really interested in what the evidence says, so many conflicting views.
@@keithparr547 Watch all their videos also with colin campbell saying about red meat and western diet. They had biggest study made during 60’s and association of red meat mea diet. Esselstyn also had son a fireman and had control group made on his own work force change their diet for a month and had tremendous impact on their health and results. Whole foods diet means raw,organic food as it is anything from the soil and natures made but anything made and touch by man are mostly toxic for us human. Studies and research won’t lie. Most of their studies were not tainted by big companies funding that may influence the results. He said olives are good! In its regular form as our body can easily metabolize it unless it got strip off on its natural form and we made out of oil from it and thats becoming concentrated and deadly for the body. Mediterenean diet are not consist only of olive oil but raw vegetables too and that was lacking in american diet “SAD “standard Am diet. Eat regular oilves and you’ll be fine but not the oil form.
Dairy consumption increases breast cancer. Dairy is full of the hormone estradiol because the dairy cow is milked while it is pregnant and it has been measured in the milk. The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 showed the more milk the Adventists consumed the higher the breast cancer. This study was confirmed by a study in China, CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY. The Conclusion: The more dairy you consume the higher your breast cancer risk. ¼ cup/day of milk increases breast cancer risk by 17%.
American Institute for Cancer Research: “For the best estimate of the risk of breast cancer associated with milk consumption, take a look at the American Institute for Cancer Research/World Cancer Research Fund analyses, which show no increased risk with higher milk consumption.” Looking at only one study isn't good science. Claiming that it's "the truth" is just wrong!

Plant protein was inversely associated with all cause mortality.
I am lucky enough to be born, and have family in, a sunkissed island village in the med where my relatives grew their own olives and pressed their own olive oil themselves in small groups so I know what the real stuff actually tastes like despite what the price tag and the blurb on the labels would have you believe. In the UK where I live I only know of one product that looks/smells/tastes like the real thing and I only use it cold and never heat it up (as according to some people heating any oils to high temperatures can create nasty compounds that are really bad for you).
Why millions of Drs, nutritionists, health experts, and ordinary people reported positive health effects on the Keto diet. Please address the question. Dr Bernard is a great human being by all means.

one website's saying that olive leaves have 60x more antioxidants and 30x more polyphenolic compounds than olive oil!! (this is from the olive life daily's website). Who knows - maybe one day people will start adding ripped olive leaves to their salads and smoothies or something!! It tastes like olives minus the fat and more of the taste. And yes - you can really taste the polyphenols in it!! It's also like eating olive oil minus the oil lol and more fiber too.
@@tracy9610 I don't think you're the only one! I think sooner or later - everyone's going to be obsessed over olive leaves. I'm actually thinking about creating a powerpoint presentation on olive leaves to place it on my website - because of this video - and whoever wants to use it as a presentation - feel free! Just needs some time to put together.
pure oil is something the body doesn't know how to use. It takes these large clumps of oil from the middle of the body to the surface of the skin - causing well documented damage along the way. Imagine the work the body has to go through at a molecular level to make it travel multiple feet? It's astounding!!
What does Dr Barnard say about the amount of flax or chia seed as some drs, Goldner and her husband Thomas Tadlock, feel this is needed in volume for optimal mitochondrial functioning and fat loss?
If I could get the same result roasting my veggies with olive oil as without any olive oil, I would. Plain roasted veggies come out dry and unappealing. Suggestions?
Did I hear this wrong? At 18:20 he says something like "...and then they tried a health fat and you know that palm oil is full of saturated fat canola oil much lower very much like olive oil but..." So he talking about a study that used canola oil here and is extrapolating its results to olive oil. Right? If so, the connection he wants to make on this point is a conjecture. Seems like you folks should be more rigorous than this or am I expecting too much?
however there are many differences between one type of olive oil and another and therefore also in terms of nutritional values, especially based on the treatment undergone, whether it is cold or hot pressed, the degree of ripeness of the olives, then extra virgin or virgin are important differences, I don't know much about it but I know that this also determines the nutritional values a lot
Like to see you Invite Gundry on for a debate. AS someone that seeks diligently to weed out all the controversy on line to find out who's right and who's fraud to say the least is becoming damn near impossible. Very frustrating to say the least when you could care less about picking sides but rather getting the most proven science based facts.
Rutin is the top polyphenol in olive oil - which is great for eyesight. However, if there's 60 times more polyphenols in leaves - along with chlorophyll and fiber - just imagine how great for eyesight leaves are! I'm so glad that leaves were brought up - I could imagine a whole presentation about the nutritional value of olives vs leaves vs oil one day by some youtube video, whether it's this channel or another tbh.
31:11 sunflower seeds, from what I know - has more vitamin e than almonds with less of the negatives for environmental impacts of them - like high water usage. I know there's not really cyanide in almonds on shelves, but I still worry about that. That's not in sunflowers. There's something else about sunflowers that make them nutritionally superior - and that's that you can use more of the sunflower than almonds. While you can eat the almond fruit, sunflowers have the leaves that're edible, as well as the head - which emmymade shows that is like eating an artichoke. So you're getting a lot of food with the sunflower that's low in fat too that makes up practically a complete meal! Sunflower petal tea sounds pretty nice, but I do eat the petals fresh preferably.
Saute with water or vegetable broth. Oils increase intramyocellular lipids which cause insulin resistance. It was shown when they gave people in a study fat followed by sugar. They had insulin resistance and the blood sugar would not come down because of the fat.
I tried a diet with no oils and had a very bad experience. I'm a tooth grinder and have to wear a night guard to prevent wearing down my teeth. Without oils, everything tightens up. I ground my teeth so hard that the night guard actually dug into my teeth. Also, I had some pelvic floor muscle tension that interfered with urination. Those muscles tightened up so bad that I had to go to the emergency room and I'm still on Flo max a year and a half later although things are improving. But it sounds like peanut oil may be a better choice than olive oil.
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) from my perspective is not a "little bit a of olive oil". What was the rationale for choosing that amount? I would think one tablespoon a day would be a bit more appropriate.
I consume fresh ground flax and chia seeds with my oatmeal and berries and ground spices. I make milk to go with it from walnuts. Is that one of the conflicting fats that binds the flax EPA/DHA nutrition from absorption?
The thing they're not saying is by concentrating olives into olive oils , you get a much higher concentration of polyphenols as well .... Eating just a few olives here and there won't generate the desired health benefit effects .
I would agree with this,to get any real benefits from eating olives you would have to consume a considerable amount of olives and this would not be to everyones taste.🤔
Dont believe in these lies here or in other videos. . They try to confuse us by telling what to eat and what not. And then we get sick and have to oay the doctors for therapy
Hi, watch you every episode. So very informative always. I have a question to which I cannot find a clear answer. Is vitamin B5 the same as C15? And if not, what is the difference? Is C15 better for me than Omega 3/DHA? I see now that’s more than 1 question….. thank you.
35:54 that's smart - because usually I'll consume plant milks along with the flaxseeds - but they tend to have oils in it (I wish they didn't) along with having fat in it themselves. Will look out for that - didn't know about that!
I think the focus must be to VLDL type of cholesterol like apo a and b , other important thing is missed in this study and others is looking to other inflammatory markers like CRF , Most of this studies done these days gust for the publication purposes
at 9:20 Neal Barnard says that the participants were healthy/low risk, but in the study (Methods section participants right at the top) they clearly state that the participants had borderline to high risk. And I think that's quite important because the study says nothing about healthy peoply with low risk including EEVO. Also the high EVOO group had a rrreally high fat diet (48% cals from fat vs 32% in low EEVO group) so it might be that if the study would have matched the to groups for fat content (and maybe chose the more moderate 32 or something %) the results wouldn't have been so different. I mean I personally do use olive oil and also eat/seeds nuts daily and avocado occasionally but whenever I tracked my food for a day I was mostly around 30% cals from fat. I really don't know how they managed to hit almost 50% lol (but then also guac and pb really slaps :D)
Could Dr Barnard or yourself do a program for people like me who have liver cirrhosis.I’m told to follow the med diet but had doubts about the olive oil, and that I should also eat dairy chicken and fish to get all the protein I need,which is a lot, with cirrhosis.
Dr. Barnard would tell you no fish, chicken or dairy.... and no oil.... but look up the vegan doctors recommendations for cirrosis.... dr. Barnard, dr desmond, dr mcdougall, dr. Joel fuhrman, oh.... dr. Colin t. Campbell. Dr. Campbell wrote the 'china study' about all the children who got liver cancer from milk protein.
-New Study released 08/20/2024. Regularly eating red and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.
I lost weight fast when I eat salad without olive oil than with olive oil. One thing we forget when it comes to fat is the bile. When the liver does not produce enough bile due to detoxification pathways not functioning optimally. Bile is needed to break down fat in smaller size for the body to digest it.
Just checked fat content of my organic milled flaxseeds from Walmart...2 tbsp serving has 5 grams total fat, ZERO grams saturated. Reason I switched from hemp and chia seeds which have much higher fat profiles. And much cheaper too!
I did not see Triglyceride/cholesterol ratio measurement and LDL Pattern via NMR testing in the research article. Both of which are crucial markers. The comments on insulin resistance is suspect. Explain the metabolic pathways that are doing this in detail and add the references in the show notes. One other note can you explain the studies that show all cause mortality increase in older women with low LDL.
1 tablespoon of olive oil has 120 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat. 2 grams of saturated fat has @ 18 calories. 18 divided by 120 is @ 15%. So 15% of the calories in olive oil are from saturated fat.
He is sort of a quack. He also deals in hyperbole 90% of the time. I use olive oil on a daily basis. I am 60 years old with zero health issues. I will continue to use olive oil.
@@HarlemGreatestIf something works for you, but for me, I can have it on occasion or I can and do gain weight. Liking how it tastes is not an issue. Have the same problem with avocados. Some occasionally.
@@HarlemGreatest Each person reacts different to saturated fat. Just adding two tablespoons per day to my diet drives up my LDL from 90 to almost 120. He never said for all people to stop eating olive oil. He's concerned about overweight people with diabetes. That fact you know little science and dish out insults like that based on nothing, tells me what type of a person you are.
I once did taste a soft brownisch olive which did fall down from an olive tree ... it tasted great and I wondered why that is never sold in shops. Does someone know more about this?
Related to consuming flax seed with other fats, does that include the fat in avocadoes? Sometimes I add sliced avocado to my salad or to my salad dressing to thicken it which both have flax seed.
Wow! I am amazed that this study of 40 people is being discussed. And how long was this study? I am using and will continue to use EVOO. My health is doing much better using it. Moderation is the key for me. And always will.
It's really important to note that the participants in this study were OBESE (average BMI of 32) and more than half of them were on statins and blood pressure meds. Both of the vegan diets were quite high in fat, and the EVOO group were consuming 400 calories MORE per day than the no-oil group. Also the "good" HDL dropped dramatically in the no oil group. Nothing in this study suggests there is any reason to reduce intake of EVOO in people who are not overweight and do not have high cholesterol.
and bingo was his name-o, i.e u r exactly right! If ppl would realize that healthy individuals, ie not obese have entirely differnt systems and reactions, they would realize these studies need to be taken with grains of salt, or salt mines more like.
At the 9:23 mark of the podcast, Dr Barnard mentions “they were healthy people.” So, I am not arguing but just wondering where did you get your information about these participants from?
@@allee3476 It's in the data: "Table S1 Baseline Comparisons of Demographic and Clinical Outcomes by Diet Order Randomization" lists the average BMI for participants as 31.9. And the methodology section clearly states they only recruited patients already at risk for CVD: "Adults 18 to 79 years at borderline to high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease... were recruited from medical clinics." Also, 53% were taking cholesterol lowering meds, 60% were taking BP meds, and 33% were taking anticlotting meds. Dr. Barnard clearly did not read the study!
Follow the money.
Of course they had more calories - olive oil is extremely high fat and calorically dense.
Doctor Barnard, Chuck, and the PCRM are a treasure. So few Doctors and organizations trying to actually help the health of people. Most healthcare providers don't know how and don't care to learn how. Whole Food Plant Based Vegan of 7 years. So thankful for all the vegans who suffer attacks to get the word out. It cured my diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
Totally agree 😊
Lol you have cured yourself via a plant based diet and others say the same thing about going meat based. So one of y’all gotta be 🦁….
@@ketojoe0155 Trust in science. The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies)
Outcome: The WFPB diet can be seen as an effective, safe option for weight loss and chronic disease risk and quality of life improvements. Key foods included whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits.
No mandated exercise or calorie counting was implemented.
The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped. The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs. The BROAD study, however, lasted only 3 months, yet the plant-based group not only lost significant weight, they kept it off. This study ran from August 2014 to 2015 and was extended to 2017.

Im 84 had olive oil and lemon every morning for years never seen a doctor in years
Nice . Evoo and fresh lemon. Me too. I feel it when i miss it
An anecdote doesn't discredit a study.
You probably did not over do it with the oil like many people do and also might help that the rest of your diet is decent too.
Good for you but just an anecdote not a scientific study
Anecdotal evidence like yours proves nothing.
I follow a lot of podcasts and they are hit or miss. Sometimes I listen, other times I miss them. With Chuck and Dr Barnard I am always going to listen - I learn a lot, respect them entirely and find them so very easy and pleasant. Vegan for about 15 years now and always tweaking with new studies and data which are presented so well. Would love to hear more about diets and changes needed for those of us in their 70s and beyond. Nutritional needs change.
We appreciate you tuning in 🙌
Doctor Neal Barnard looks great. Well into his 70s and his body and mind works great. He helps people everyday. I wish some of these haters would make their own video and we all can put the hit on the haters.
Actually, I was thinking his frame looks small, and he's swimming in his suit. He's also not well into his 70's? He's only 71. He seems cognitively alert, so he's got that.
these livestream videos are always fun! I always look forward to them in the morning when they appear - they really brighten my day - the interactions, the flurry of the live chat. It's just fun to watch the video and engage in the comments section at the same time - so much for my brain to participate in - I love it!
We're so glad you enjoy tuning in and engaging with the community! ☺
@@PhysiciansCommittee aw thanks so much for letting me a part of them :) Much appreciated - this made my day! So happy now :)
UK BIOBANK STUDY: Looked at 300 people following a low carbohydrate (keto) diet and compared them to 1200 people on a standard diet. It concluded that the risk of having a heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke was double that of those following the standard diet. Other things to note on a keto diet include: high cholesterol, constipation, and a smelly breath.
It takes approxinately 44 olives to make 1 Tablespoon of olive oil. So in this study, the olive oil eaters would have consumed the equivalent of 160 whole olives. No one would consume that many olives in a day. Just eat a few whole olives, not olive oil.
I don’t often eat olives, but when I do I can guarantee you that I eat that many.
i eat a hell of a lot of them, though not close to 160 of course. But sometimes over 60.
We should all just eat air and nothing else. But we will have to purify the air of pollutants first
Sorry. You can pry my olive oil bottle from my cold, dead hands.
Or just moderate your intake like people throughout the Mediterranean countries have instinctively done with olive oil for millenia.
I think Dr Barnard underestimates how many nuts I can stuff myself with 😅
You are what you eat. 😉
Thank you Chuck, Dr Barnard & PCRM. I appreciate your analysis re: diets. Love your fashion sense Chuck!
Our pleasure!
If you want to live a bad life, follow his advice
IF saturated fat is so bad for us, please explain how those promoting the carnivore diet, mainly Dr Ken Berry (PHD), Dr Philip Ovadia (cardio surgeon) and Dr Jordan Peterson, among others, are having great blood work results, reversing chronic conditions like diabetes, and maintaining healthy outcomes??
For how long did it help I wonder? I tried that as well....at first it was great then my numbers went sky high in my blood work. My doctor was so concerned, kept calling me to put me on a myriad of medication. Stopped the high saturated fats immediately and never looked back. WFPB for me. My numbers are now excellent. I do believe people's genetics play a role and some people can handle saturated fats. Not me. Genetic testing demonstrated it.
@@melanie.3837 Jordan Peterson, his daughter & wife have been carnivore for 5+ years. Same with the other doctors I mentioned. There is even a lady on YT who has been carnivore for 15 yrs! So it’s not a one-size fits all scenario., not everyone experiences the pitfalls. Maybe you were not eating the fatty cuts of meats? Idk I prefer only lean cuts and I cut off all fat, skin & gristle so carnivore doesn’t appeal to me. I’m more of a seafood/fish eater (pescatarian).
@@SeaStarGazer1111 Exactly, one size does not fit all as I mentioned. My guess is we will not know until our 80's and 90's whether or not our choices were the right ones.
I've also had amazing results from a Keto diet and my bloodwork confirms that. I reversed my type 2 diabetes. Most of my diet now consists of oily fish such as sardines and mackerel, eggs, green leafy vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, and I eat red meat 2-3 times a week. I know from my bloodwork that this video is bullshit.
Everyone is different. You have to eat what works for your body. As for the carnivore diet, I think it's great that they can eat that way and feel good and healthy now. I do believe though if you do carnivore 40, 50
Or 60 years, I believe you will get sick later.😢
I have been doing the 0 fat diet for 2 months now, I'm 54 years old and I feel and look amazing. I started on the starch solution way of eating which changed my life
Some fatty acids are essential! A zero fat diet sounds like a bad fad diet.
@@larsnystrom6698 It's impossible to eat zero fat if you're eating vegetables, fruits and starches. Every whole food has fats, proteins and carbs. Spinach for instance is around 12% fat and oats around 15%, these are all the omega's 3's and 6's in the correct ratio's. Furthermore only the fat in plants reaches the GLP receptor at the end of your small intestine, other fats don't reach this signaling receptor (interview with dr. Garth Davis on Ozempec), which firms my believe that we should get all the fats from plant sources.
There is no such thing as a zero fat diet because absolutely every food has some fat in it. We need some essential fatty acids to live. You would die on a zero fat diet but again, you won't because everything has fat.
You can't live with zero fat! And you can not eat without getting some of these fats! I'm 55 still looking like I did in my 30s! But I'm extremely physical and a bodybuilder as well as a lot of arobic exercise and have to have a certain amount of fats to function.
The seed oil folk are waging a bit of a war on olive oil. I strongly advise watching Zoe's recent in depth video on olive oil. It's more believable.
I totally. Anything out of America I'm skeptical about! I trust European and Japanese scientists more who are less under the influence of 💰🤑
I’ve never found the guys who own the Zoe business particularly convincing. Or studies funded by the olive oil industry for that matter. Or claims that inconvenient scientific evidence is just the result of some dastardly plot by the seed oils industry.
EVOO is undoubtedly better than butter, coconut oil, lard, mayonnaise and ordinary olive oil. But is it really the best option?
The American Heart Association’s 2017 scientific report on dietary fats and cardiovascular disease concluded that polyunsaturated fats were better than monounsaturated fats and both were significantly better than saturated fats. It also stated “Finally, we note that a trial has never been conducted to test the effect on CHD outcomes of a low-fat diet that increases intake of healthful nutrient-dense carbohydrates and fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes that are now recommended in dietary guidelines.” To my knowledge, this remains case and polyunsaturated fats (and possibly healthy carbs) are still a better option than EVOO.
Yes I think this "Dr." is being paid by special interests to push this agenda. It is total BS.
I’m a recently diagnosed diabetic, vegan for 11 years (vegan for animals period) and vegetarian for 10 years before that. I was eating lots of processed foods. Diet has changed drastically and now eating overwhelmingly Whole Foods and, of course, plant based. What I’m struggling with is your whole no nuts (you benefit tremendously from things like walnuts), no avocados (your brain needs healthy fats) and no 🫒s (which I love) stance.
wow, haven't listend to whole vid yet, but that is bonkers to have no OO, avocadoes or nuts. I live on nuts basically and i'm not even a vegan or vegetarian, tho extremely low meat intake now at midlife, and it's actually brutal (and i know a ton about nutrition and eat usually very well).
10 years vegetarian and now diabetes ? Do you still believe what doctors say ????
@@evaki-g3n As a vegetarian for 10 years I are a ton of dairy and processed foods and as a vegan for 12 years until very recently was eating lots & lots of processed junk foods. I only have myself to blame for my current predicament. 🤷🏻♀️
Couple of thoughts:
1. The study does not note if the calories were equalized during the two phases, weight loss could have affected cholesterol scores.
2. Four weeks is not nearly long enough to reach a new cholesterol baseline. A diet with EVOO may reduce LDL more slowly, but you can’t infer that such a diet is incapable of having an overall similar effect over a longer period of time.
3. The study noted a slower LDL lowering effect on EVOO, but the overwhelming preponderance of data shows notable benefits to EVOO use for cardiovascular health.
@@adribones I may have heard wrong but I thought the 4 weeks was a down time between switching the diets.
I wasn't listening that closely so may have missed the length of time while consuming or not consuming oil.
I know my cholesterol dropped 40 points in 4 weeks when I eliminated eggs. ( The only animal product I was still occasionally consuming.)
@@Kayte...the two phases were four weeks each with a one week “washout” period between them.
I"m 75, vegan for over a year, no oil of any type. My only vice is peanut butter....I eat 3 tbsp daily. If I didn't spread it on my snack of Ezekiel bread slice or Wasa cracker I would blow away: I don't need to lose another ounce of weight. I eat 1 1/2 cups black beans daily, two half cup servings of oatmeal daily with walnuts and flaxseeds, the higher density plant foods. Don't know how else to add enough calories from plant food to maintain weight.
Well, there are plant protein powders, be careful to make sure that they are all tested for heavy metals.
Remember this is one point of view. There are other wfpb and plant predominant doctors and researchers who see the issue differently. Some even interpret this same study differently. (see Zoe) I would recommend listening to The Proof with Simon Hill. He's amazing and he has amazing guests. Also, Dr Joel Kahn, wfpb cardiologists points to the Predimed study which established olive oil as supportive of cardiovascular health. I think considering your great diet and your low weight one or two tablespoons of olive oil would not be a problem. Another option is avocados.
Also, I agree w the other commenter. I'm 71 and have become aware that protein needs increase at this age. I now consume a pure pea protein and eat tempeh and some soy milk.
Add fruit.
I like to gain some weight, but on VD it isn’t possible.
Hey you sound almost like me everyonengets on me I weigh 130 although I do eat meats only because my mom cooks and I can't resist.she just got a big scare colon cancer went back negative thank God but I she's starting to change her diet.i changed mine because I had a heart attack at 47 now 54 don't take any meds not even aspirin .keep up the good work
Thats strange because I went keto and then to carnivore with lots of sat fat and my cholesterol actually went down. When I tried the vegan diet for 9 months my body was inflammation and I felt like shit. So much that i quit after 9 months. I had a steak that same day and it felt like I was reborn. As for your comment about mother nature, she didnt make any of the fruit or vegetables that we all eat today. Man created nearly all of it. Not to mention its seasonal.
Painter, I’m happy for you, vegan diet is not for everyone, some people do well on it and others don’t ( like my friend, she had to go back to meat/ fish, she became seriously anemic..and feeling much better) btw Dr Bernard looks sick compared to how he 8:38 looked years ago, and he was still a vegan 🤷🏻♀️. Oh btw God made the seeds for fruits and vegetables and gave them to man.
@sharon-qc3gn Mamy seeds are GMO.
it was likely the carne diet before that made you feel like crap later on, there was a delay, 9 months of a vegan diet is nothing like long enough to make a difference

Could we focus a bit on weight gain too? If nuts are mostly bad because of weight gain, I want them, but concern for people who want to gain weight seems lacking here.
I'd opt for avocado's and watch if nuts aren't rancid. Especially Poly Unsaturated Fats get very toxic when they are rancid with hydroxynonenal.

yes, few pro's talk about it much bcuz it's a very small number of ppl, and the profoundly negative health issues are almost entirely related to the opposite problem. These negatives, ie midbody fat gain are profoundly comprehensively econoimcally disastrous even medium term to a society /economy as we have seen over the past thirty years in the USofA where i am, with increasingly low numbers of capable ppl to work!

FOOD HABITS IN LATER LIFE STUDY was undertaken among five cohorts in Japan, Sweden, Greece and Australia. Legumes were found to be the most important dietary predictor of survival in older people of different ethnicities. The results showed that for every 20 grams (one ounce) increase in daily legumes intake there was an 8% reduction in the risk of death. This study shows that no matter what your ethnic background or where you live, eat more legumes to live longer, especially as you age. Of all the food groups including meat, legumes alone had consistent and statistically significant results.
The EPIC-OXFORD STUDY, part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, examined the diets and health outcomes of over 65,000 participants. It found that vegetarians had a significantly lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to meat-eaters.
For cooking bean patties and such that using liquid to prevent sticking will ruin the pattie, you could try heating the pan to water ball temp before adding rhe pattie.
I haven't personally tried this yet with a pattie but it does work good for sauteing without added liquid.
I so seldom use oil spray that i dont worry about using some for cooking patties.
If you arent familiar with water ball test, look for video on cooking with a stainless steel pan to prevent sticking.
You've emphasized the importance of limiting fats, present in highly caloric oils as well as in nuts, in dairy, etc. You've mentioned that oils and fats affect heart health, by increasing cholesterol and BP. All that having been said, please address the role of fats vis-a-vis brain health and tell us the healthiest fats and diet for the brain. Thank you.
I love Dr Neal Bernard. I'm at 100kg's now after having my second baby. I really have been following him I'd like to see I can lose 20kgs which is a lot but I want to apply everything he says. Hopefully I can see a different in a few months.❤️♥️
The most I could lose was 10 pounds a month and that was very strict WFPB and running 6-9 miles every day. Give yourself time.
Circa minute 32:00, the obvious solution is to avoid SALTED or SWEETENED or ROASTED nuts and seeds (and any other such foods generally). If you eat raw nuts and seeds and chew well, you will find that you become satiated quickly. You have to chew thoroughly to get the most nutritional value from real whole foods. The longer that you spend chewing, the faster you become satisfied with less. Double win!

Google the EPIC study. In Spain the participants who ate only pure EVOO (which is not mixed with seed oils) showed decreased risk of coronary heart disease as well as all cause cardiovascular mortality. They also did the study on a group of Italians post MI.

In addition to any diet you have to exercise. Do not just rely on any nutrition plan alone. Exercise is not just walking. Its a combination of strength training and cardio.
It’s just all to complicated EAT AS NATURE INTENDED or as close as. No MEAT DAIRY OR EGGS. But definitely not for everyone. Always love listening to you both. Dr Barnard made perfect sense no processed foods. All about the money.
Just started to listen. I like the way the study was set up. Obviously if olive oil lowers cholesterol versus doing nothing, the results should show that. Interesting that blood pressure went down.
Ah, 14 percent fat is less than 50 percent, but not as good as zero percent in put of fat. So, I'm thinking this affects the triglycerides not LDLs so much. High fat raises triglicerides and high cholesterol raises LDLs. Now, ask the doctor how we can raise the HDLs!
Thanks Chuck, we certainly needed some more confusion related to olive oil. LOL
What's the confusion? It's simple. Expressed oils are not good for you. Get the best oils from food naturally the way nature intended (avocado, nuts & seeds, etc.).
4 tablespoons of olive oil! That’s a huge amount of oil. I use a single tablespoon of home made olive and vinegar dressing for an entire salad and the salad is split at least two ways. There is seldom another source of oil in my diet. I can’t imagine adding that much oil…
first extra virgin olive oil is the solution lol.
Key points:
Olive oil has 14% saturated fat in calories (still better than red meat 50% or coconut oil 80% of course)
Adding olive oil to vegan diet slows the cholesterol lowering effect
Polyphenols in olives may have other benefits, not just about weight loss but overall longevity.

I finished my olive leaf presentation. It's up on my website - PCRM can use it if they want (actually anyone is able to use it) - even adding it to the description box of this video if they'd like to.
The Low Olive Oil group in this study ate a 23% calorie restricted diet compared to the other group, totaling only 1338kcal/day, compared to 1745 kcal/day for High Olive Oil group. They did not state these numbers in the paper itself, you have to download the supplemental data file/pdf to find it. Neither did they articulate these differences in the conclusions. This interview does not discuss this fact about the study either. Totally irresponsible. ..What this means? The changes the study found between the diets may simply be due to the extreme calorie restriction, and not due to the lower intake of Olive Oil. For all we know, if it had been an isocaloric study, the results could be opposite.
Thank you! That'ts exactly what I wanted to know.
You do the isocaloric study and then tell us. In the meantime, don't say "the results could be opposite."

European Food Safety Authority approves that if olive oil contains at least 5mg of the polyphenols HYDROXYTYROSOL + TYROSOL per tablespoon of olive oil it helps prevent lipid oxidation’.
Olive oil drives up my LDL. Two different times (years apart), my LDL went from 90 to almost 120 mg/dL by adding two tablespoons/day of olive for about four months. I did this both times after returning to the gym after a sedentary period. I added the olive oil to increase my calories required by an increase in exercise. I must be very sensitive to saturated fat. By how I eat, my LDL should easily be below 60 mg/dL.
It will drive up your LDL ...and if you're a diabetic, it will drive up your fasting glucose numbers too. Too much added oil in a person's diet over a long period of time, will cause insulin resistance aka Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Barnard touched on that in this episode.
@@tinalegault3378 Yes, that's what I said. Thanks for repeating it so people get the message.
If you want demtia keep getting a lower ldl lol
@@charlesfuchs How does keeping your blood thick from fat going to help your brain?
@@charlesfuchs Please provide your source for that claim. Because Joe Rogan said so, does not count. 90 mg/dL is not low. Even as low as 25 mg/dL has not been shown to increase risk of dementia. On the other hand there are plenty of studies showing that high LDL is associated with dementia. You have bought into a bunch of nonsense from keto and carnivore grifters.
Olive leaves tea is very tasty, good replacement for green tea if trying to avoid the estimulant effect
Interesting!
36:25 wow - who knew? I know I didn't! I learned today. There's so much that wasn't known surrounding flax - that I bet a lot of us learned today.
That was my favorite takeaway! I had no idea about the mechanism going on there.
@@tracy9610 all the flax insights were my fav takeaway - and the olive leaf insights were my fav giveaway lol :)
Dr.Barnard is an outstanding physician and educator. We are lucky to have him.
I see it's opposite day.
Recently I went to an olive growing area and bought loose leaf olive leaf tea to give it a try. I don't yet know it's benefits, but I love it's taste. Very delicious.
hey - I'm proud of you for this! Even if you're not by an olive grove - at the very least - olive leaves are available online.
Dr Esselstein said oil is oil no matter what don’t eat it! He was a renowned cardiovascular surgeon in Cleveland clinic and specialty in heart surgery. He live in a farm with his parents growing up eating american diet and he do not recommend milk to eat from a cow farming family till he becomes a surgeon and conduct biggest research in asia for people eating meat and consuming oil. To whom you would listens?? Back up by research and surgery expert.
I've found no evidence that he was a cardiovascular surgeon, but he was a general surgeon; also that he was heavily involved in preventative medicine particularly cardiovascular. I really like him a follow his diet as I have cardiovascular disease. I'm wondering weather a little extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing would be ok for me. I'm really interested in what the evidence says, so many conflicting views.
@@keithparr547 Watch all their videos also with colin campbell saying about red meat and western diet. They had biggest study made during 60’s and association of red meat mea diet. Esselstyn also had son a fireman and had control group made on his own work force change their diet for a month and had tremendous impact on their health and results. Whole foods diet means raw,organic food as it is anything from the soil and natures made but anything made and touch by man are mostly toxic for us human. Studies and research won’t lie. Most of their studies were not tainted by big companies funding that may influence the results. He said olives are good! In its regular form as our body can easily metabolize it unless it got strip off on its natural form and we made out of oil from it and thats becoming concentrated and deadly for the body. Mediterenean diet are not consist only of olive oil but raw vegetables too and that was lacking in american diet “SAD “standard Am diet. Eat regular oilves and you’ll be fine but not the oil form.
Dr. Neal,
Nice letter in the latest NEJM.
Keep up the great work.

Dairy consumption increases breast cancer.
Dairy is full of the hormone estradiol because the dairy cow is milked while it is pregnant and it has been measured in the milk. The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies. ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 showed the more milk the Adventists consumed the higher the breast cancer. This study was confirmed by a study in China, CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY. The Conclusion: The more dairy you consume the higher your breast cancer risk. ¼ cup/day of milk increases breast cancer risk by 17%.
American Institute for Cancer Research:
“For the best estimate of the risk of breast cancer associated with milk consumption, take a look at the American Institute for Cancer Research/World Cancer Research Fund analyses, which show no increased risk with higher milk consumption.”
Looking at only one study isn't good science.
Claiming that it's "the truth" is just wrong!
@@larsnystrom6698 ADVENTIST HEALTH STUDY 2 and CHINA KADOORIE BIOBANK STUDY is two (2) studies. You did not read my entire original comment that reference both studies finding the same conclusion.
@@larsnystrom6698 Trust the science.
A Harvard study: Association of Animal and Plant Protein Intake With All-Cause and Cause Specific Mortality.
Researchers brought in a large group of people and they looked at the protein they ate and who lived and who died. They controlled for the cholesterol and the fat so they could look just at the effect of the protein. Conclusion: Animal protein is always associated with higher mortality. Plant protein was inversely associated with all cause mortality.
@@larsnystrom6698 Do you really believe that drinking milk from a pregnant mammal has no influence?
Yes, please. Bring PCRM to England!!!!!
When I need to use oil, I used a little bit of avocado oil.
1 tablespoon contains only 1.5 g of saturated fat.
I am lucky enough to be born, and have family in, a sunkissed island village in the med where my relatives grew their own olives and pressed their own olive oil themselves in small groups so I know what the real stuff actually tastes like despite what the price tag and the blurb on the labels would have you believe. In the UK where I live I only know of one product that looks/smells/tastes like the real thing and I only use it cold and never heat it up (as according to some people heating any oils to high temperatures can create nasty compounds that are really bad for you).
Why millions of Drs, nutritionists, health experts, and ordinary people reported positive health effects on the Keto diet. Please address the question. Dr Bernard is a great human being by all means.
UK BIOBANK STUDY: Looked at 300 people following a low carbohydrate high fat (keto) diet and compared them to 1200 people on a standard diet. It concluded that the risk of having a heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke was double that of those following the standard diet. Other things to note on a keto diet include: high cholesterol, constipation, and a smelly breath.
I always thought that olive oil wasn't a high heat oil so it shouldn't be heated. Is that correct?
Some olive oil has seed oils mixed in ' be careful which product you buy '
ISO’s afraid to that and is not cheep hope they anest about been organic and first press
one website's saying that olive leaves have 60x more antioxidants and 30x more polyphenolic compounds than olive oil!! (this is from the olive life daily's website). Who knows - maybe one day people will start adding ripped olive leaves to their salads and smoothies or something!! It tastes like olives minus the fat and more of the taste. And yes - you can really taste the polyphenols in it!! It's also like eating olive oil minus the oil lol and more fiber too.
Olive leaf isn't the same thing not at all
Wow! I’m really curious about olive leaves now.
This seems right since its the whole leaf, it includes the fiber.
I don't eat oil outside of holidays, I would try Olive leaves 💚
@@Incredible43 yay! Looking forward to seeing how you like it!
@@tracy9610 I don't think you're the only one! I think sooner or later - everyone's going to be obsessed over olive leaves. I'm actually thinking about creating a powerpoint presentation on olive leaves to place it on my website - because of this video - and whoever wants to use it as a presentation - feel free! Just needs some time to put together.
pure oil is something the body doesn't know how to use. It takes these large clumps of oil from the middle of the body to the surface of the skin - causing well documented damage along the way. Imagine the work the body has to go through at a molecular level to make it travel multiple feet? It's astounding!!
What does Dr Barnard say about the amount of flax or chia seed as some drs, Goldner and her husband Thomas Tadlock, feel this is needed in volume for optimal mitochondrial functioning and fat loss?
If I could get the same result roasting my veggies with olive oil as without any olive oil, I would. Plain roasted veggies come out dry and unappealing. Suggestions?
Try tossing the vegetables with Aquafina and garlic powder and oregano - very tasty!
Aquafaba
@@patriciamirwaldt1670haha! I saw Aquafina and 🤨
@@tracy9610 hahaha- damn you autocorrect!
you can dip them into tomato sauce. I personally love that crispiness.
Did I hear this wrong? At 18:20 he says something like "...and then they tried a health fat and you know that palm oil is full of saturated fat canola oil much lower very much like olive oil but..." So he talking about a study that used canola oil here and is extrapolating its results to olive oil. Right? If so, the connection he wants to make on this point is a conjecture. Seems like you folks should be more rigorous than this or am I expecting too much?
hey, i love your haircut!!! very nice!
however there are many differences between one type of olive oil and another and therefore also in terms of nutritional values, especially based on the treatment undergone, whether it is cold or hot pressed, the degree of ripeness of the olives, then extra virgin or virgin are important differences, I don't know much about it but I know that this also determines the nutritional values a lot
The good doctor never once mentioned the effect of blood cholesterol on life expectancy or even rates of heart disease or stroke.
Like to see you Invite Gundry on for a debate. AS someone that seeks diligently to weed out all the controversy on line to find out who's right and who's fraud to say the least is becoming damn near impossible. Very frustrating to say the least when you could care less about picking sides but rather getting the most proven science based facts.
Rutin is the top polyphenol in olive oil - which is great for eyesight. However, if there's 60 times more polyphenols in leaves - along with chlorophyll and fiber - just imagine how great for eyesight leaves are! I'm so glad that leaves were brought up - I could imagine a whole presentation about the nutritional value of olives vs leaves vs oil one day by some youtube video, whether it's this channel or another tbh.
31:11 sunflower seeds, from what I know - has more vitamin e than almonds with less of the negatives for environmental impacts of them - like high water usage. I know there's not really cyanide in almonds on shelves, but I still worry about that. That's not in sunflowers. There's something else about sunflowers that make them nutritionally superior - and that's that you can use more of the sunflower than almonds. While you can eat the almond fruit, sunflowers have the leaves that're edible, as well as the head - which emmymade shows that is like eating an artichoke. So you're getting a lot of food with the sunflower that's low in fat too that makes up practically a complete meal! Sunflower petal tea sounds pretty nice, but I do eat the petals fresh preferably.
what about Avacado Oil- I use this instead of olive oil to cook & bake with and sometimes on salad. thanks :)
So the flax oil is our final choice for sauté?
Saute with water or vegetable broth. Oils increase intramyocellular lipids which cause insulin resistance. It was shown when they gave people in a study fat followed by sugar. They had insulin resistance and the blood sugar would not come down because of the fat.
@@georgewilson7808 thanks
I tried a diet with no oils and had a very bad experience. I'm a tooth grinder and have to wear a night guard to prevent wearing down my teeth. Without oils, everything tightens up. I ground my teeth so hard that the night guard actually dug into my teeth. Also, I had some pelvic floor muscle tension that interfered with urination. Those muscles tightened up so bad that I had to go to the emergency room and I'm still on Flo max a year and a half later although things are improving. But it sounds like peanut oil may be a better choice than olive oil.
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) from my perspective is not a "little bit a of olive oil". What was the rationale for choosing that amount? I would think one tablespoon a day would be a bit more appropriate.
I consume fresh ground flax and chia seeds with my oatmeal and berries and ground spices. I make milk to go with it from walnuts. Is that one of the conflicting fats that binds the flax EPA/DHA nutrition from absorption?
The thing they're not saying is by concentrating olives into olive oils , you get a much higher concentration of polyphenols as well .... Eating just a few olives here and there won't generate the desired health benefit effects .
I would agree with this,to get any real benefits from eating olives you would have to consume a considerable amount of olives and this would not be to everyones taste.🤔
Very confusing. The Zoe Programme team recently had a podcast saying how good olive is for you 🤷♀️
It’s good & Don’t confuse. This doc has no clue…
A farmer (grandpa)with no education know better than this person lol
Dont believe in these lies here or in other videos. . They try to confuse us by telling what to eat and what not. And then we get sick and have to oay the doctors for therapy
You'll have to pry the avocado out of my cold dead hands!
Hi, watch you every episode. So very informative always. I have a question to which I cannot find a clear answer. Is vitamin B5 the same as C15? And if not, what is the difference? Is C15 better for me than Omega 3/DHA? I see now that’s more than 1 question….. thank you.
Excellent topic and conversation
35:54 that's smart - because usually I'll consume plant milks along with the flaxseeds - but they tend to have oils in it (I wish they didn't) along with having fat in it themselves. Will look out for that - didn't know about that!
27:48 "have it be vegetable oil " ?😂 I think he meant vegetable broth, he did say it right afterwards.
I think the focus must be to VLDL type of cholesterol like apo a and b , other important thing is missed in this study and others is looking to other inflammatory markers like CRF ,
Most of this studies done these days gust for the publication purposes
I love how they said they don’t know anything about olive leaves and need to do more independent research. Integrity
at 9:20 Neal Barnard says that the participants were healthy/low risk, but in the study (Methods section participants right at the top) they clearly state that the participants had borderline to high risk. And I think that's quite important because the study says nothing about healthy peoply with low risk including EEVO. Also the high EVOO group had a rrreally high fat diet (48% cals from fat vs 32% in low EEVO group) so it might be that if the study would have matched the to groups for fat content (and maybe chose the more moderate 32 or something %) the results wouldn't have been so different. I mean I personally do use olive oil and also eat/seeds nuts daily and avocado occasionally but whenever I tracked my food for a day I was mostly around 30% cals from fat. I really don't know how they managed to hit almost 50% lol (but then also guac and pb really slaps :D)
Every now and then a contrarian would come out with conflicting information. I just switch off and do not wish to be confused.
Could Dr Barnard or yourself do a program for people like me who have liver cirrhosis.I’m told to follow the med diet but had doubts about the olive oil, and that I should also eat dairy chicken and fish to get all the protein I need,which is a lot, with cirrhosis.
Dr. Barnard would tell you no fish, chicken or dairy.... and no oil.... but look up the vegan doctors recommendations for cirrosis.... dr. Barnard, dr desmond, dr mcdougall, dr. Joel fuhrman, oh.... dr. Colin t. Campbell. Dr. Campbell wrote the 'china study' about all the children who got liver cancer from milk protein.
you can get plenty of protein from microbes - nutritional yeast, spirulina, etc.

I lost weight fast when I eat salad without olive oil than with olive oil.
One thing we forget when it comes to fat is the bile. When the liver does not produce enough bile due to detoxification pathways not functioning optimally. Bile is needed to break down fat in smaller size for the body to digest it.
Wonderful... ❤
Just checked fat content of my organic milled flaxseeds from Walmart...2 tbsp serving has 5 grams total fat, ZERO grams saturated. Reason I switched from hemp and chia seeds which have much higher fat profiles. And much cheaper too!
lignans are excellent too!
How does one get EPA/DHA without eating oily fish?
Vegan algal oil. The fish dont make the omega-3's they eat the algae. So cut out the middlefish and take the algal oil.
@@danlundeen147 Thanks, any particular algal oil you recommend?
I did not see Triglyceride/cholesterol ratio measurement and LDL Pattern via NMR testing in the research article. Both of which are crucial markers. The comments on insulin resistance is suspect. Explain the metabolic pathways that are doing this in detail and add the references in the show notes. One other note can you explain the studies that show all cause mortality increase in older women with low LDL.
On the olive 🫒 oil bottle, it says total fat 14%, saturated fat 2%. Why does Dr. Barnard keep saying 14% saturated fat?
1 tablespoon of olive oil has 120 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat. 2 grams of saturated fat has @ 18 calories. 18 divided by 120 is @ 15%. So 15% of the calories in olive oil are from saturated fat.
He is sort of a quack. He also deals in hyperbole 90% of the time. I use olive oil on a daily basis. I am 60 years old with zero health issues. I will continue to use olive oil.
@@HarlemGreatestIf something works for you, but for me, I can have it on occasion or I can and do gain weight. Liking how it tastes is not an issue. Have the same problem with avocados. Some occasionally.
2 divided by 14 = 14%.
I believe it says 14 g total fat and 2 g saturated fat per 1 tablespoon. It's in grams, not percent. Check your bottle again.
@@HarlemGreatest Each person reacts different to saturated fat. Just adding two tablespoons per day to my diet drives up my LDL from 90 to almost 120. He never said for all people to stop eating olive oil. He's concerned about overweight people with diabetes. That fact you know little science and dish out insults like that based on nothing, tells me what type of a person you are.
I once did taste a soft brownisch olive which did fall down from an olive tree ... it tasted great and I wondered why that is never sold in shops.
Does someone know more about this?
Related to consuming flax seed with other fats, does that include the fat in avocadoes? Sometimes I add sliced avocado to my salad or to my salad dressing to thicken it which both have flax seed.
Amazed you don’t know about olive leaf. Lots of data out there.
What kind of olive oil did they use in the study? Was it high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil?
