@@carolamendoladanca I have no doubt that the oldest people in Europe tend to consume olive oil as a staple of their diet. I've read and heard that many times before. Although there are many other lifestyle choices these "Mediterranean" (i.e. they're not always really living off the Med) people have engaged in which may largely explain their longevity (instead of olive oil). Like physical activity by working in the fields and walking up and down hills their entire lives. Like low stress and close lifetime familial relationships. Like a pleasant climate that gives them plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Like a diet rich in fruits and vegetables along with some oily fish and nuts. And there may also be strong genetics associated with their longevity as well (i.e. Apolipoprotein A-1 Milano common in Calabria and Sicily). Not all races and people have the same lifespans, all other things being equal. So, we see that there's a lot more at work with longevity in the Med than simply consuming olive oil. Combine that fact with other people in Asia who do not consume olive oil at all, yet they live at least as long - and what do we know in terms of olive oil being the "prime mover" for extending lifespans? Not that clear cut to me. Otherwise, good olive oil is available here in the states. You just have to be educated about what it is and where to find it. I buy mine from a French farmer (in France) who sells certified organic EVOO. I also get it from Californian groves that also sell certified organic and fresh EVOO free of solvents and garbage olive oil commonly sold here to unsuspecting customers who don't know any better (because it is not a part of our culture as it is in Italy, Greec etc).

I tried an oil-free diet, all whole plant foods, and I found it difficult to get enough calories. I also was bloated a lot. Allowing a small amount of oil back in my diet made me feel a lot better, and I didn't notice much of a difference in my bloodwork. I'm naturally slender, btw, so it may have something to do with that.

@@sash0047 I mean, it's relative isn't it? Certainly loaded with calories (calorically dense) compared to leafy greens, much less so compared to olive oil.. haha. If OP is anything like me, I only have appetite for like 1-1 1/2 cup of whole grains/legumes per meal (assuming 3 meals per day, assuming I don't eat anything else). At around 250 calories per cup, that means at most 1250 calories per day, obviously less if I also filled half the plates with vegetables. Stuff like oil, nuts and avocados are, in this specific case, essential to hit around a more reasonable 2000 calories, and grains and legumes are not calorically dense enough. Of course, it's the exact opposite for someone with a gigantic appetite able to down 4-5 cups of grains thrice a day. For these people, grains and legumes are indeed "loaded with [enough] calories". No need to add calorically dense oil, maybe even a need to cut on the density and replace with more vegetables. The point is that you may feel they are "loaded with calories" (objectively they're pretty middle of the road in terms of caloric density), but it's irrelevant to point out when someone specifically says they're not calorically dense enough for them.

You should look up the latest review comparing the Mediterranean diet against a vegan diet by Neal Barnard!

What a nuanced and educational video. I totally agree that the debate over olive oil is...passionate, to say the least. But the irony is that in the grand scheme of things, EVOO is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a healthy diet. It really plays a small role when you compare it to the other components of a healthy WFPB diet. It is really missing the forest for one tree. And that really should be the take-home message right? Get the basics right first: fruits, veggies, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. If you've gotten those down, I will not dissuade my patients from using EVOO, unless they are using pints of it at time (there are a lot of Italians in my life, so this actually happens). I personally think the process of making olive oil is very interesting, as many brands cut EVOO with things like canola oil and other vegetable oils, which we go over in a podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-choose-your-olive-oil-ep-40/id1451308876?i=1000463243118 I would love to see how that plays a role in studies if your "extra virgin olive oil" is actually half canola oil too! I personally use EVOO. But you know what? Sometimes I'll saute in veggie stock. It depends on how I'm feeling that day. But in the end, the focus should be on getting the pillars of a WFPB down, because if that's not in place, focusing on EVOO is really a moot point. Awesome video!

New to the channel, I like how it is based on facts, science. It helps me to understand why some other channels (Berg...) talk confidently about things they don't understand. Back to the subject (Olive oil). You could maybe make a video about the risks (if any) of having oil in a plastic bottle instead of a bottle made of glass. Thank you.

I really like your channel, as it takes a balanced and holistic perspective. I have been trying to do whole food, plant based diet and I just feel like I'm starving sometimes because the calorie density is so low, and it's a big transition from my previous processed food, omnivore diet (now that the worst of COVID is over, I'm doing more walking and I am less sedentary. I also am starting to do light weight training). I am not used to eating so much bulk in food, and restricting calories too much lead my metabolism to crash (but at least my BMI is normal now) I appreciate the ability to control food density more vs. eating highly processed foods and oily cooking methods, but perhaps a little use of oil would help pad out the calories I am consuming.

I’m new to the Chanel and love your content. Youre awesome! Thanks for simplifying everything 😎

Thoughtful treatment of a complex topic! It seems that whether to use olive oil or how much to use is the equivalent of a first world problem for healthy eaters. As you noted, if you are worried about olive oil, you are probably doing a lot of things right that have a bigger impact. Thanks for yet another great video!

Real, quality, extra virgin olive oil is liquid gold.

I think I little added oil is a good thing when it gets you to eat more vegetables and whole plant foods. Using a splash of oil absolutely transforms the flavor of onion when cooking and brings out the flavor of all sorts of vegetables which turns the entire dish into something mouth wateringly desirable.

Thank you for the nuance and dedication to evidence-based advice.

Thank you for another great video. I recently added EVO back into my diet, and then discovered that EVO wasa great source of Vit. E. I have playing around with Cronometer Diet Diary App and discovered that I wasn't getting nearly enough Vit. E so through trial and error I learned that EVO is a great source, then I ound out that different varieties of olives provided different levels of Vit E... so I went looking for EVO that listed which variety of olives were used, and compared it to the chart and found that Braggs EVO is made with Greek Koroneiki olives which are one of the better olives, higher in Vit E than most others. It's a little expensive but not outrageous. 1 Tbs provides about 80% of RDA of Vit E. Personally I'm beginning to suspect hat the health benefits of EVO are primarily due to the Vit. E as I believe many people just aren't getting enough.

I love your no bullsh*t approach. Thank you for the great videos.

Thank you! As an instructor with PCRM, I’ve advocated no oils for quite a while after reading and listening to Dr Esselstyn. Your recommendations are balanced and sound science. I now “drizzle” EVO at times. My salad dressings are still 10:40 oil free! Glad I found you!!!

Hey Gil. First of all, I love your videos and you are one of my favorite KZreadrs when it comes to nutrition: you talk clearly and tend to be as impartial as possible. So, I would like to give you an idea for a video, since I see it as an extremely important subject: the hormonal impact (and not only caloric) on weight loss. Well, in the same video I'm commenting on, you talked about being in caloric deficit (the same in your video on weight loss) but this seems to me a very simplistic approach that disregards all the metabolic and hormonal characteristics (for example: the levels of leptin, insulin, cortisol and changes on basal metabolic rate) in weight loss. Therefore, I would like to hear from you more on the subject! Anyway, keep up with your good work!

Great, balanced video as always. One thing I'm sick of (sorry, emotions!) is seeing these incessant arguments about the purity of olive oil. Look, if it's cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, it most likely has more benefits than by not consuming it at all. If you want to go for that extra 10% of nutritional benefit from the olive oil pressed by a monk's arse and teleported fresh within a millisecond to your salad, good for you. Most of the population who are interested in the benefits of olive oil will be buying it from their supermarket. Regular, middle shelf extra virgin is fine and will still have positive benefits. I'm aware of the irony of me making an argument here. But my goodness there are so many olive oil purists out there who are making people believe that extra virgin is not worth the label it's written on, because of this chemical or that chemical, or this process or that process. It's scaring people away from what would still be overall beneficial to their health, even in less fresh/pure, factory mass produced form.

One concern that didn’t come up is how healthy olive oil is once it goes rancid. I think Dr. Greger mentioned once it goes bad after about 4 months on a shelf and would lose whatever good qualities it has. In these studies, are people getting fresh, high quality olive oil? I’m assuming lots of people in the US don’t have access to olive oil that hasn’t been shipped & sitting around for months before they buy it & consume it. Also on another video (maybe mic the vegan) there is a mention that extra virgin is usually cut with regular olive oil and there isn’t enough money to constantly test to regulate it. I go to a grocery store that sells stuff that didn’t get sold at regular grocery stores. I always see giant containers of olive oil that’s been sitting around for who knows how long and people are buying it thinking it probably has the health benefits of people in these studies not knowing about rancidity and such.

Well said. Personally, I still only use olive oil when cooking but I do count in terms of teaspoons, not tablespoons and I feel this made a huge difference. Making choices in increments of 40cals vs 120cals makes it way easier to construct meals that are more reasonable calorically. Either way, if you're trying to to keep your fat around 35% of your calorie intake, it's probably more satisfying to make these fats come from higher volume sources like nuts, seeds, avocados etc rather than super concentrated forms like oils. I only use oil to help infuse spices and using less oil lets me diversify the source of fats to include much more flavors and textures without going way overboard on calories.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.

Thanks for what you do. It goes to demonstrate how difficult it is to arrive at clear conclusions about health benefits. Why? Because research data has to be interpreted to see how useful the data is, what the data actually consists of how limited or valid it is conflicts are, etc. Media jump on news releases about studies with soundbites or headlines about research data with no "fact checking" There are just so many variables in individual health decisions and perceptions. I have seen a lot of ford brewer's vids, now he's turned it into a business the free content is gone less interested, but you are better and clearer than brewer who would delve into the details of studies in rabbit holes of sorts, but his approach was always good albeit unsatisfying "all I can do is explain the data but you'll have to come to your own conclusions and decisions" with the occasional I can't tell you what to do but here's what I did and the results I got with these tests. Would you be able to look at Dave Feldman's work on cholesterol, often highly regarded? Esseltyne is an extremist. I saw a cooking show on KZread with his mother and daughter or wife, where they cook a mushroom dish with zero fat zero animal products zero salt. Depressing. And claim using any of the above as heretical. Fortunately his son is less offensive the fireman turned plant based Sherpa. Many other vids to analyze. But from a calorie zero sum game do you not believe that foods that don't spike insulin will not trigger as much fat storage, ie a calorie is not just a calorie, weight gained will depend on the hormonal signaling to fat cells. So eat 1000 calories of evoo vs donuts - donuts go into storage much more than the olive oil?

Excellent perspective!

Thank you for this video and all the others I've been bingewatching in the last couple of hours. I'm totally nerding out on your channel. ;) So, my question to you re: cooking with olive oil is this: If I want my tofu or tempeh a bit on the crispy side, veggie broth doesn't cut it. If Olive oil is "bad" heated up for "crispy-fying" your food, what should I use? When I saute, I've been using veggie broth (or beer sometimes.... not so healthy--oops-- but it's only 50g ;)), but that doesn't crisp the tofu. I tend to brush olive oil on the tofu and then put it in the toaster oven for 20 min @ 375F & Convection setting. The result is not real crispy, but better than saute'd tofu in broth. Suggestions? Ideas?

I'd love a video where you go through which oils are best/least likely to be unhealthy and for which purpose. For example, as you mentioned here, extra virgin olive oil is not healthy when used to cook with high heat. There are many oil alternatives with high smoke points (above 220C/428F, like avocado oil or sunflower oil), but out of those, which are the least likely to be unhealthy (if that is even the correct way of phrasing the question)? Or which ones are ideal for salads? Etc.

Great video. If I understand correctly you suggest that consuming butter is (on the whole) bad. Could you please produce a video that examines butter vs margarine as a daily spread? I thought that butter was better because it is a natural substance, whereas margarine is bad because it is a toxic sludge produced by hydrogenating cheap oil using a nickel catalyst, with artificial colours and flavours added?

Thanks for the great video, it helped me a lot to hear your point of view. I was confused because I heard Ornish and Esselstyn talk about detrimental effects of olive oil. I personally don't include olive oil in my diet but maybe it there's a chance to gain weight by including more calories = olive oil. From a "whole foods" perspective, I would still prefer whole olives over olive oil. Until there's more data I will take the standpoint "I don't need it but if it replaces inferior oils -> go for it."

I think there's a fat phobia among some in the plant based community, a counterpoint to the carb phobia among many in the keto community.

I personally use extra virgin olive oil to cook eggs and certain fish. I don't use it on salads. I replaced my vegetable oil with EVOO and has helped suppress cravings and moderate my fat. I tend to either slim down extremely or gain weight fast. Weight gain was due to sugar and process fats on top of lack of exercise for a period of time. EVOO works for me in those sense. Plus, without strength and muscle training. I eat meals twice a day and drink water. It helps but I know I need to eat more for muscle building. Incorporating fish and veggies will help a lot.

Olive oil is probably “less bad” than whatever it replaced in tests such as beef tallow, bacon grease and some worse vegetable oils. So, it looks like a health food in comparison.

@@happyhealthylife4ever LOL. Those are two indulgences I have. If I ever get to the place where I'm just eating steamed plants and legumes, shoot me. 😵

I mix olive oil to my turmeric and black pepper to make a healthy concoction

What a wonderful channel and video! Thank you so much for the look at the evidence. Also I think I spotted some Adam Ragusea footage in there haha

you probably did!! :)

Thanks for another great video. I'll repeat what others have said here and what I've said in the past - that your approach to nutrition and science is nuanced and extremely clear, although those seem to contradict each other, lol! Speaking as a unicorn (someone whose been on an Esselstyn no-oil and even no nuts or avocado regiment for almost three years), I know that the way I eat is helping to reverse my disease, as a followup angiogram has confirmed a lot of progress. Would that have happened if I'd consumed higher fat foods? It's impossible to say, and I'd rather not test it out. I do think that the FMD test is relied on a bit too heavily by the non-fatters like Esselstyn, Ornish and McDougal (and their attack dogs ;-), but here's my own odd logic and let me know if you think this doesn't hold up. We have Predimed and epidemiological studies which seem to show a Mediterannean diet reduces CVD risk, and they include not only olive oil, but nuts, avocado, even some fish and chicken The problem I have is what the control group is eating, and how MUCH they reduce risk. It seems they reduce the risk but they don't eliminate it, and the control groups are generally just a standard American diet, so of course they are going to see a benefit. If predimed simply added olive oil, then did the people who were in the test group end up eating fewer calories of other foods? It seems unlikely that they would eat exactly the same calories as the control plus whatever additional amount of oil they were told to? My question is always 'what are the people in studies who are getting X food removing from their diet in order to fit those additional calories in?' Unless it's a ward study where everything is controlled and not ad libitum, it seems it's going to be very difficult to tease apart whether X food actually provided and absolute benefit or just a comparative one over some food that is not as healthy? As someone else here also pointed out, when it comes to heart disease, it's very tricky in terms of suggesting one person definitely has it whereas another person doesn't in that people who've had heart attacks, stents, bypasses, etc., obviously have the disease, but what about those just with high cholesterol? Plaques have been found even in young children, in addition to teens and those in their 20's, none of whom had any signs of heart disease. By their 30's and 40's, and 50's, many of those people will have been diagnosed due to an event or serious symptoms like angina, but many will just show as having perhaps elevated lipids and get sent home with some statins. Does that mean they don't have heart disease? My point is not to suggest that olive oil (or nuts or avocado) CAUSE heart disease. I think that's more of a stretch. But in terms of trying to heal from heart disease, where do we draw the line of who actually has it? If I've been on Esselstyn for 3 years (or for some who've been on it for 10 years), do we assume they somehow no longer have it and so then they can safely eat oil? I do get the conundrum of telling a wide audience they should avoid oil ON TOP OF staying away from animal products. I've had vegans who call my diet choice "extreme" and I suppose from a demographic basis it is. I know it is perfectly sustainable and I don't need oil in my life. My only complaint is that because 99.9% of people use it regularly, it is very difficult to find food I can buy ready made that doesn't have oil in it, especially at restaurants. So I'm not necessarily suggesting that we should tell everyone to remove oil completely, but I do think it's reasonable to say that if you know you are health and don't have weight issues or underlying problems like high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, etc., that you should at the very least limit yourself to 1-2 tbsp of the stuff at most. I don't think that should be a huge imposition and it would at least get people used to using a very moderate amount, since when I was on a Mediterranean diet myself before going on Esselstyn, I did tend to "slather it on" because of all the hype about it being so healthy.

I use olive oil to substitute for butter. I love butter and I like olive oil. I like olive oil salad dressings. From this video, I'm not likely to consume olive oil by itself as a supplement, but still make it a part of my diet to reduce the amount of butter I use. I like Gil's balanced approach and rigorous analysis of research. He might be proved wrong on some things, but any errors are based on a more complete evaluation of available evidence. He makes nutrition more comprehensible when he sorts through conflicting evidence. A low fat diet can be good, but it is not better if it is filled with refined carbohydrates and processed foods. A low carb diet can be good, but I like the variety of nutrients in a primarily plant-based diet with small portions of animal protein. None of this is available easily in restaurants, I do need to cook which is the fly in the ointment. There are many times when I don't have the time or energy to cook. I know the solution is to prepare meals in advance at times when I have both time and energy. But with Gil's help, I have a clearer idea of what will work for me.

Other than the sodium, wouldn't a small amount of olives be healthier than olive oil? I rinse my olives to reduce sodium. I also keep my overall sodium levels low. Olives are a whole food. Olive oil is processed. Wouldn't olives give the same benefits in a whole food form?

People have been eating olive oil around the Mediterranean for millennia. The surrounding countries are one of the healthiest as well as having really high life expectancies. Just be sure to get extra virgin olive oil which has been cold pressed which basically means no heat or chemicals were used.

Great stuff as usual! Do you have any videos like this on supposed benefits of having wine and chocolate?

not yet but it's a good idea :)

...I have to admit I've taken extra virgin olive oil every day for about 5 years now and for me the benefits easily outweigh the negative effects especially for improving my skin condition, I must admit I tend to go a bit crazy over the stuff it goes on my food too but what the heck! I even put it on my hair as a conditioner works so much better than anything from the pharmacy. Thanks for the video! 👌🧸
