Mamavation has a new report out on phthalates in olive oil. Unfortunately many top EVOO brands - ones known to be actual olive oil (not cut with seed oils) - tested high (> 2,000 ppb). The one I usually buy, California Olive Ranch 100% California, had 2,646 ppb. I'm so upset.

Thank you for the informative video. I noticed that you advocate for a plant-based diet, yet the report on olive oil seems to contradict Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s recommendations, who is a well-known proponent of whole food, plant-based nutrition without oils. Could you clarify how this aligns with Dr. Esselstyn’s approach to heart health? Additionally, while the focus here is on dementia prevention, I’m curious about the effects of olive oil on cardiovascular health. Are there any implications for heart disease prevention or reversal in your findings?

I just got an email from Dr. Esselstyne and his family foundation today, showing why this study is incorrect. it says: Eat more olive oil to prevent dementia?” Beware of click bait. As we have discussed many times before, the Esselstyn Foundation feels strongly that cooking oils are something to avoid. They contain huge amounts of calories, have zero nutritional value (check out the label), and are 100% fat. Most concerning though, studies have shown that the consumption of processed oils has a detrimental effect on endothelial function in your blood vessels. In other words, they hinder proper nitric oxide production. So, as Dr. Essy says, "No oil!" But, what about the most recent research study that claims that higher olive oil intake helps to reduce the chance of developing dementia. This study was published on May 6th in JAMA Network Open. EVOO contains more than a hundred phenolic compounds (oleuropein aglycone, oleuropein, oleocanthal, oleacein, tyrosol, and hydroxytyrosol). These compounds have been shown to reduce the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease. This is theory behind the study. So, what did this study conclude? As stated by the researchers, “Regardless of genetic predisposition and overall diet quality, participants who consumed at least 7 grams of olive oil per day had a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death compared to participants who never or rarely consumed olive oil.” But, as we know, the devil is in the details. Specifically, the study states that “substituting 5 grams/day of margarine and mayonnaise with an equivalent amount of olive oil was associated with an 8% to 14% lower risk of dementia-related deaths.” In other words, the participants were replacing mayo and margarine with olive oil. EVOO is most likely a better choice than margarine and is certainly a better choice than mayo. Also, what about all the other variables in the study? We need to dig deeper here because this study has the same problems as all nutritional epidemiology studies. No one is sitting around drinking small cups of olive oil for this study. Participants consumed it with other foods. As well, it was clear from the food frequency questionnaire used in the study that people who consumed more olive oil also consumed less red meat, more fruits and vegetables, and more whole grains. Perhaps it's not that olive oil is particularly good for you, but that something else you are not eating is bad for you. Simply adding olive oil to your diet without changing anything else will most likely not do a darn thing. And, let us not forget the Lyon Heart Study of the 90s, which was a test of olive oil-heavy Mediterranean Diet. In that study, 25% of the participants went on to have further vascular events. Dr. Esselstyn does not want ANY of his patients to suffer additional vascular events. This is why he remains anti-oil. To him, that 25% is not acceptable. Lastly, it is important to remember that this study is an observational study, so it doesn’t show a direct cause and effect. Bottom line: Don’t believe the hype! Skip the EVOO. Just stick to WFPB nutrition to keep ALL your vessels smooth and clean, including the ones in your brain.

Esselstyn tells us to eat several bowls of Quaker oatmeal a day. Just put a Continuous Gloucose Monitor eat oatmeal and watch your glucose and insulin go through the roof. Eat the Mediterranean Diet with a quart or liter of olive oil a week. Forget Esselstyn and McDougall.

How about coconut 🥥 oil and other saturated fat?
@outofthedoldrums
3 ай бұрын
Great question @bobcocampo! Coconut oil and other saturated fats have been topics of much debate in the nutrition world. Let's break down what the research says about them. 🥥🔬 Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is high in saturated fats, specifically medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Some studies suggest that MCTs can have health benefits, such as boosting metabolism and providing a quick source of energy. However, coconut oil also raises LDL ('bad') cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association advises caution with coconut oil due to its high saturated fat content. Saturated Fats: Saturated fats are found in animal products and some plant oils. While they can raise HDL ('good') cholesterol, they also raise LDL cholesterol. A diet high in saturated fats has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. The general recommendation is to limit saturated fat intake and replace it with healthier fats like those found in olive oil, nuts, and avocados. Comparing Oils: Extra virgin olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, is often recommended over coconut oil for heart health. Studies, including the PREDIMED study, have shown that diets high in olive oil can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and support overall health. In summary, I would avoid coconut oil and palm oil. Extra virgin olive oil is generally a better choice for heart health. It’s always good to balance our intake of different fats and focus on a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods.

First off, I love your videos. Thank you for them. I show some of them to retired age people I teach. When I listened to your video, I kept wondering this question: some doctors promote using nuts in replacement of olive oil for salad dressing. They suggest they are superior because not only is there a healthy fat, but also fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Would you say that is a superior source than just using olive oil, in terms of maximizing nutrition or not? What I also question with promoting olive oil for polyphenols is most people are not buying the most expensive and freshest olive oil. So are they really helping their health by using the typical olive oil found in grocery stores? If you could reply, I would so appreciate it so I could share these learnings with my students.

@happyvegancouple, thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing my videos with your students! 😊 Your questions are fantastic, and they touch on some important points about nutrition. Nuts vs. Olive Oil: Both nuts and olive oil offer unique health benefits. Nuts are indeed nutritional powerhouses, providing healthy fats, fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They can be a great addition to salads for added nutrition and texture. Olive oil, especially extra virgin, is rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies like the PREDIMED study highlight the cardiovascular benefits of olive oil. Including both nuts and olive oil in your diet can offer a wide range of health benefits, so it's not necessarily about choosing one over the other but finding a balance that works for you. Quality of Olive Oil: You’re right that the quality of olive oil matters. Extra virgin olive oil is the least processed and retains the most nutrients. When buying olive oil, look for options labeled 'extra virgin' and consider those that are cold-pressed and come in dark glass bottles to protect from light. While it’s true that not everyone can access the highest-quality olive oil, even typical grocery store options can still offer significant health benefits. Maximizing Nutrition: Using a combination of nuts and olive oil can maximize your intake of healthy fats, antioxidants, and other nutrients. For example, a salad with a handful of nuts and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil can provide a diverse array of nutrients beneficial for heart and brain health. I hope this helps! Feel free to share these insights with your students. Thanks again for your support and for fostering healthy habits. Let’s keep learning and growing together! 🌿🫒🥗

Thank you so much for your comprehensive reply! Very much appreciated! It has been somewhat difficult for me to wrap my head about the benefits of olive oil because of a number of Whole Foods plant-based Docs who suggest we avoid it entirely. It has been somewhat unclear to me, whether the benefits are solely substitution, or they offer real benefits by themselves. But I do believe in following the science and so I thank you again for your reply.

Any oil oxidizes including olive oil which is not health promoting food, what happens when the body uses up the anti oxidants and the oxidized compounds persist in the body? BTW there is no such thing as bad cholesterol, there are several types of dementia which is an essential nutrient, cholesterol and EFA deficiency and finally, the medical model and the MD has failed to bring forth one single cure for "disease" or degenerative illness in 150 years. So are these studies expensive fluff? Genetic predispositions? Sorry doc the theory of epigenetics busted that myth decades ago. I deem this commodity promotion as medical malarkey.

Wow, you've raised several important points here! Let's address them one by one based on scientific evidence. 🔴Oxidation and Antioxidants : While it’s true that oils can oxidize, extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants like polyphenols, which protect against oxidative stress. When used properly, such as in cooking within its smoke point, it remains stable and health-promoting. Studies have shown that olive oil retains most of its beneficial properties even when heated. 🔴Cholesterol: Cholesterol is indeed essential, but not all cholesterol is the same. I simplified in my video. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is often termed 'bad cholesterol' because high levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing heart disease risk. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is 'good cholesterol' because it helps remove LDL from the bloodstream. 🔴 Dementia and Nutrients: While cholesterol is necessary for brain function, it’s a balance that’s key. There are several types of dementia, and factors like genetics, lifestyle, and overall health play roles. A balanced diet, including healthy fats from olive oil, can support brain health. 🔴 Medical Advances: It's incorrect to say medicine hasn't improved. Medicine has made significant advances over the past 150 years, improving quality of life and managing chronic diseases. The field continues to evolve with ongoing research. 🔴Epigenetics and Genetics: Epigenetics explores how lifestyle and environment can influence gene expression. It doesn’t negate genetic predispositions but adds a layer of understanding about how we can potentially modify risks through lifestyle choices. Genetics still does play a role. The body of scientific research strongly supports the health benefits of olive oil. It is not "medical malarkey." Let’s keep the conversation going based on solid evidence.

@@outofthedoldrums OK let's open some common sense discussion! First of all an olive will immediately begin to oxidize and discolor when its protective skin is broken, the oxidation process continues to persist while processing and storage, oxidation continues within the body since oxygen is essential for all cells to survive, what happens when these polyphenols are used up and the oil persists since we know that oil persists in the body for long periods, does oil gunk up the oxygen nutrient delivery and the waste removal process of the cells? Yes oil does and since metabolism is mineral dependent what is the base cause of diabetes? There is no such safe process cooking with any oil, heating up any oil rapidly increases oxidation plus the formation of carcinogens. The marketing malpractice promoting olive oil has a higher smoking threshold is insane. Cholesterol is kind of non essential as the body does produce it however dietary cholesterol is essential and has been since life began on earth. There is only one cholesterol. The medical marketing malarkey that there are several types of cholesterol is rotten science, lipids are not cholesterol and all lipid carriers have a critical purpose within the body, the body is formed for survival and maintaining its default state of good health... when one abuses the body with say processed commodities including processed oil sugar and grain, medical treatments etc the body reacts attempting to clean up the mess, BTW plaque is formed by oil and sugar, cholesterol is the hero building protective and repair mechanism of the body, are you aware of the reaction process between processed oils and sugar? The science is fascinating yet the medical model is still oblivious. The body is made of cholesterol and also essential fatty acids play a critical part when consumed properly in quantity relation and free of oxidation. The neural pathways use cholesterol as the insulator, when cholesterol is damaged short circuits occur. We know the factors of all dementias, Parkinson's etc we know how to reverse degeneration yet these medical advancements have not provided one single solution and that is because only the body has the capability of building maintaining protecting and repairing itself. Drugs do not and never will do that. Any medical advancement that attempts to manipulate a symptom is not an advancement and that is one reason why the medical model has failed to bring forth one single cure in it's history. Epigenetics has busted many trillions of dollars wasted by medical science attempting to find the magic cure all. Once again the medical model has failed just as it has for curing cancer and all other for profit diseases. The body of scientific evidence and it's industry lobbyists have brought forth commodity marketing for the purpose of profit not health and health is the explicit domain of the body not the food marketing industry or the person wearing the white coat and stethoscope. By the way 900 plus types of disease, degeneration, birth defects have been uncovered and resolved for vertebrates be it human of animal and this includes the top profitable medical diseases maintained but never cured by the MD or allopath science. Olive is an industry commodity not a food to promote maintaining a good state of health. Science depends where you look and its intended purpose of profit body manipulation or uncovering the function of genuine health of the body.

This is a common belief, and it's great that you're thinking critically about what we put into our bodies. Let's explore the science behind oils and their health effects. Types of Fats: It's important to differentiate between types of fats. Extra virgin olive oil, for example, is high in monounsaturated fats, which are known to support heart health. Unlike saturated fats found in animal products, monounsaturated fats can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Scientific Evidence: Numerous studies support the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil. The PREDIMED study, published in the 'New England Journal of Medicine,' demonstrated that a Mediterranean diet enriched with extra virgin olive oil significantly reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events. This study is one of many that highlight the positive effects of olive oil on heart health. Antioxidants and Polyphenols: Extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds can help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to overall health. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in 'Nutrients' in 2015 confirmed that olive oil enhances vascular health by improving flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). Moderation is Key: While it's true that excessive consumption of any oil can lead to unwanted calorie intake and potential health issues, using olive oil in moderation as part of a balanced diet can offer significant health benefits. It's all about finding the right balance and making informed choices. Understanding the nuances and science behind oils can help us make better dietary choices. Let's keep the conversation going and continue learning together..

Olive trees give so much to humans, and they live for centuries theselves. It saddens me so much to learn how israeli settlers have cut down and burnt a million olive trees that were growing in Palestine since 1968. A million trees is so many. That's more words than the Bible contains. It's a bad thing to do that to the land and all the people. And now, severe droughts elsewhere are limiting the supply of olive oil. :(

Thanks for bringing up some common concerns about olive oil! Let’s clarify these points with what the research says.. Shelf Life: Extra virgin olive oil, when stored correctly (in a cool, dark place), can last up to 18-24 months. Proper storage is key to maintaining its freshness, much like taking care of your favorite bottle of wine. Heating: Extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of around 375-405°F (190-207°C), which is suitable for most cooking methods, including sautéing and baking. While heating can reduce some of its antioxidant properties, it doesn’t make the oil toxic. Studies have shown that olive oil remains stable under typical cooking conditions and is even safer than many other oils when heated. For instance, a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that olive oil retains most of its beneficial properties even when used for frying. Another study from the Harvard School of Public Health supports its stability and safety when heated. So, while it's always good to question what we hear, the evidence supports that olive oil can be safely enjoyed in various ways, from drizzling on salads to light frying. Hope this helps clarify things..
