Is Oil Good For Us? - Dr. Doug Graham

[MyTheraf]

This guy is ridiculous with his claims. I would even say dangerous. Olive oil is very healthy.

[HrapovikPlush]

@MyTheraf Eat olive oil if you want to get gallstones. Eating lots of refined fats like olive oil is not healthy for your liver. Your body doesn't even recognize olive oil because it is not a whole food.

[beltonism]

@MyTheraf So what miraculous substances are exclusive to Olive Oil that can not be found elsewhere?

[DCVU2]

So, is there something wrong with consuming Olive or Coconut oils?

[adrygarcia]

@DCVU2 nope if the oil is unrefined and raw and you're doing a LOW CARB DIET.

But If you're doing a High carb diet, oil the worse thing you can eat, because is 100% fat and fat blocks the insulin receptors, so: Fat + Carbs = blood sugar, (sugar issues). But id you're doing a low carb diet not problem at all.

[DCVU2]

@adrygarcia Thanks!

[ParapaDrifter]

Isn't your skin... mostly oils? 

[Gary1111001]

@ParapaDrifter Our bodies make a lot of things. Oil is one. We're chemical factories.

A 10% fat diet is enough to maintain our bodies oil. The body mostly uses glucose; and the best (body-friendly) source is fruit.

[ParapaDrifter]

@Gary1111001 the problem I have with glucose is how ruminants have adapted a fatty diet of 70% VFA and 30% microbial protein. This assumes the similar aspects of digestion between us.

Enzyme and vitamin rich Ketogenic diets can't be sustained long term? I wager they can. Especially if they are quickly assimilated short and Medium-chain fatty acids with minimal liver impact.

Ferment your carbs and you'll get protein, vitamins, enzymes, and volatile fatty acids. Palpitability is another question.

I remember a few years ago being on a raw food website. (Jeff and Sabrina) I can't think of the name of it right now, But I got the feeling that Doug Graham doesn't handle any kind of criticism very well at all. I mean, everything on that website is set up where he is the "Guest" and any kind of disagreement is crushed to the point of absurdity. You can't even disagree agreeably. It's like they/he wants to live in some kind of vacuum. Total intolerance. That's the way I see it.

[metricdabs]

He was talking out of his arse when he said Middle Easterners still ive in caves etc.....bs!

[motina10]

The native diet of Inuit is high in fat intake. Guess what, they also used oil for lighting too. OMG! Olive oil has been used medicinally.. hmm, I wonder why.

[motina10]

People in the middle-east never lived under ground. if you take Arabia, of the Bedouin had low lying tents. This is also common in north Africa, like Algeria, and Afghanistan. Similar dry climate. Some places did dig holes, like in northern China. In Navaho they lived in caves, some parts of Turkey. Caves were generally not used as abodes. Africa, and most places, they have been huts, that are just as transportable as tents. Why, because humans are nomadic. Caves are very sedentary structures.

[love1another1evol]

That was so damn racist.

I didnt like this speech at all. (even without the racist part)

[heidiheidi0]

People don't live in caves in the middle east...wtf??

[mrbunnylamakins]

@heidiheidi0 Yes there are many who still do, don't you watch Discovery channel or PBS

[heidiheidi0]

@mrbunnylamakins nope, but better than that...I've actually BEEN there. haha.

[mrbunnylamakins]

@mrbunnylamakins I have two Friends that go to Israel every year, there are still sheep herders that live/stay in Caves. You statement is based on blind ignorance sorry to say, not to mention there are dozens of videos on youtube from Mexico, Spain and Buddhist living in caves. Unless you don't know how to use Google...just type in "Cave Dwellers and you can find hundreds of NEW stories of people living in caves all over the world and Middle East.

WOWWW.... this guy knows NOTHING about the importance of oils and fats.

Oil has been used for thousands of years as a nutritional food. Please people, if you want to learn about nutrition google or youtube Dr. Edo Erasmas, he talks about the importance of oils.. And is a famous, very well known doctor. hahah would he laugh at this bozo

[TheRawTeen]

@fpvvsford Pretty amazing that the majority of North America is disease-heaven, yet there are genius nutritional experts that are popular and talk about how great oil is. Need me to point out the obvious any more?

[3089280288]

It's also a great moisterizer.

[Xiaolian7]

Thank you for this. I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe:

真 Truthfulness

善 Compassion

忍 Forbearance.

Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China.

[FM897]

@TheAmalhator Are you aware that fruits and vegetables contain fat?

[StevoKHS]

@FM897 very few fruits/vegetables contain fat, and usually if they do it's very minuscule

[windlord1111]

@StevoKHS

Check out fitdaydotcom and enter any fresh fruit and veg of which you can think.

You'll see that all contain some level of fat.
