@ccd101 Yeah I guess with all his incredible results with heart disease patients he just doesn't get it like you huh buddy?LOL Yes some fats are essential to health,but you get enough of those as long as you eat enough cals from whole foods. Try it on chronometer and you will see. You definitely don't need olive oil to get those and if you use it should be in very small amounts.

Esselstyn's anti-fat fanatism is a classic case of throwing out the baby (good fats) with the bathwater (bad fats). Some fats are essential to health.

Sure my link does state that olive oil improves cardiovascular health, with its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and bloodpressure-lowering effects. Esselstyn peddles the cholesterol scare nonsense and advocates an unhealthy diet. Cholesterol levels are just a symptom -- not from eating cholesterol, it is mostly made by the body. By eating fat-free, you miss out on the fat-soluble vitamins and very important fats for the body (e.g. brain & nerves consist of a lot of fat eg DHA).

@ccd101 Olive oil doesn't help prevent heart disease. Your link doesn't state that it just says it's better than other oils. No one has had the success on reversing heart disease that dr.esselstyn has had and he had his patients consume no oils and found one that added olive oil had problems until he removed it. Still the truth is it is low in nutrients and very high in fat and not necessary for health...

"No it doesn't"
Where is your evidence?
"he is stating nothing but facts."
His emphasis that olive oil has a high calorie density, is a classical half-truth: irrelevant (due to low amounts consumed) and omits the relevant nutrients and their health benefits.
Suggesting that ice cream is healthier than olive oil, is worse than a half-truth -- it's blatant disinformation.
And his presentation style speaks volumes -- childish laughter like a clown, not serious like a lecturer.
-
@ccd101 No it doesn't and yes he knows alot and you obviously don't have much common sense if you can't listen to what he says about it and see he is stating nothing but facts. And the blinkers comment was referring to what you said in your earlier comment. Olive oil has little nutrients and is just refined fat. There's nothing magical about it. I once thought like you, you just need to dig a lil deeper in your research.

"overall too much fat in the diet is a culprit for heart disease and adding olive oil contributes to that."
On the contrary, olive oil prevents cardiovascular diseases. Read my link below.
"This guy know his shit"
For a nutritionist, he knows very little. Worse, given his IQ, he seems do disinfom deliberately.
"take off your blinkers"
Do that. I don't wear blinkers.

@ccd101 overall too much fat in the diet is a culprit for heart disease and adding olive oil contributes to that. There is very little nutrients in olive oil. This guy know his shit and if you listened to his whole message and take off your blinkers you would change your stance.

"Where can I find more information regarding this.."
At the link I mentioned earlier: tiny url. com /oliveoil1
"and you did not answer my question,"
I did.
"what is it in olive oil that I cant get from the olive itself? Why is the oil superior than the olive from which it comes from?"
As I said, the oil has a higher nutrient density (more nutrients per serving -- can't eat so many olives), and in the olives it tends to get rancid.
But to cure ADD, take omega-3, not omega-9...

Haven't heard from you in a while, way to go coming back with an important lesson. This Jeff Novick has a great personality for teaching and presenting information.
