I thought the problem with cooking with olive oil, is that the heat breaks up the monounsaturated fats, and the even more delicate omega-3/6 polyunsaturated bonds.

After all, Olive oil already has antioxidants, polyphenols hydroxytyrosol (HT), hydroxytyrosol acetate (HT-AC), phenolic acids Oleocanthal , oleuropein, cafeic etc...

Is using refined and/or adding more antioxidants somehow raise it's low smoke point?

I think I'll stick with Coconut and Macadamia nut oil for cooking.

What did he put in the oliv oil. That red thing.

I am from Swedish so i don not understand what he mean.

[mercola]

@yrkesmordare  astaxanthin

[sylvalant]

Would it be a wise thing to do to put several drops of Lutein or Astaxanthin? And I take it after the coloring from anti-oxidants disappear, the oil is already rancid?

Thank you for the video and the information. Only a small technical nit bit, swap the audio channels so that Mercola is on the right and please level the shot. I know it irrelevant to the content but I am just offering feedback.

MERCOLA knows that the OLIVE OIL industry is corrupt an fraudulent

and that 99.99% of the OLIVE OIL out there is NOT 100% OLIVE OIL

yet he DOES NOT mention this FACT here

WHY WHY wait to get the word out on that

[anarchore]

The 3 liter metal canisters I buy it in keeps the EVO protected from light and in excellent condition. The oil hasn't ever gone rancid on me using this larger size.

Another important revelation and a myth destroyed. Keep up the good work Dr Mercola!

[hugtango]

@dawes777 no myth destroyed, olive oil is a super food, olive oil is packed with natural anti oxidants some of them are 40 times stronger than catechins.

We drink it from the bottle in Provence, Greece, Crete....

All the elder sware by it, for their salad dressing, and even to put on their skin.

It is a more than healthy oil ! And cheap when we are lucky we get 1 liter of organic extra virgin olive oil for 5 euros.
