This mixture can be dangerous in large amounts. Olive oil and lemon is an aggressive liver cleanse. In some it can cause pain and huge drama. Putting it on the salad is ok, but not drinking the concoction., not so much. Olive oil and apple cider vinegar is a great salad dressing. Shake a-small amount of onion and garlic powder over your lettuce toss it to cover all, and then drizzle your olive oil /apple cider vinegar dressing over it. For a pop of sweetness, you can add cut up, grapes, dried cranberries.

I lived in southern Spain for about a year, back a while ago, and I can tell you that olive oils sold in places here are only PART olive oil, mixed with other oils. I know this because fresh organic first cold pressed olive oils is bitter, with a distinct bitter after taste, and with a with a fruity olive taste. The xtra virgin cold pressed oil was served as an appetizer in basically all restaurants, bars, and outdoor food stands, along with salted fish, also in olive oil. That taste, though I tasted it decades ago, is incomparable to today's olive oils.

[@venkvelaga]

I suspect the bitterness is from unripe olives. This is from the method of harvesting.

Nope, the olives are ripe when harvested. It is difficult to extract oil from unripened olives. The olives offered everywhere, as I said, as an appetizer, were ripe, soft, unsalted, fruity, and bitter. @@venkvelaga

I have heard from multiple people who have visited Italy, Spain and Greece and even seen videos on KZbin that much of Olive Oil in USA (about 70%) is adulterated and not pure extra virgin olive oil and mixed with rancid olive oil or other seed oils. There are big olive oil mafias all over Europe and North Africa that make a lot of money by rebranding and marketing and selling cheap low quality olive oil as high quality for a lot of money. Taste (Bitterness, Fruity, Grassy, Herby, Buttery, etc.) varies by country and region and extraction and bottling process and how fresh or how soon you consume (typically within 12 months of harvest)

[@Damedolla0401]

Is cold extracted same as cold pressed ?

[@lrn_news9171]

Just to make it clear for people. Both extra virgin and refined olive oils have essentially the same fatty acid profile. 100% Refined olive oil which means no virgin oils mixed in is around 70% Oleic acid and 1.5% linoleic only a tiny difference compared to extra virgin. "extra light" Olive oil would be the closest to pure refined olive oil on the market as most of the refined variety of olive oils on the market have some extra virgin olive oil mixed in to give it a slight aroma and taste. So you're still getting some of the minerals and vitamins and antioxidants from the extra virgin as well. Regardless of the type of olive oil, it has the same fatty acid profile, with very very minuscule differences in terms of oleic vs linoleic acid ratio. 100% Refined olive has a tiny bit more linoleic but by half a percentage point. I wouldn't worry too much about finding the most extra extra virgin oil possible. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the fatty acid profile.

[@lrn_news9171]

Dr. Ekberg in the video ate 100 tablespoons of olive oil in 10 days and analyzed the effects on his blood. It was found that consuming this amount of olive oil did not significantly impact his blood glucose control or insulin resistance. He also discussed the importance of finding foods that can absorb the oil and advised against overeating. The blood work results showed a slight decrease in sodium levels and an increase in inflammation markers. However, there were no major negative impacts on cholesterol levels. Dr. Ekberg highlighted the margin of error in blood work and the need to look at trends rather than individual values. He also emphasized that monounsaturated and saturated fats from high-quality sources are equally healthy. Overall, the video suggests that individual responses may vary, and monitoring relevant markers is crucial for assessing the risk of heart disease.

[@sylviaking8866]

Make sure you have a good level of magnesium in your diet as magnesium is vital for the potassium to be able to get into your cells. I take 500 mg magnesium glycinate each day. Magnesium is required for the proper functioning of potassium channels, which are responsible for the movement of potassium ions into cells Hypomagnesemia, a condition characterized by low levels of magnesium in the blood, often occurs alongside hypokalemia (low blood potassium levels) While magnesium is not directly involved in the transport of potassium into cells, it does help to maintain the right balance of potassium in the body 1. In fact, magnesium deficiency can lead to a decrease in intracellular potassium levels, which can cause a range of symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, and arrhythmias.

Just to make it clear for people. Both extra virgin and refined olive oils have essentially the same fatty acid profile. 100% Refined olive oil which means no virgin oils mixed in is around 70% Oleic acid and 1.5% linoleic only a tiny difference compared to extra virgin. "extra light" Olive oil would be the closest to pure refined olive oil on the market as most of the refined variety of olive oils on the market have some extra virgin olive oil mixed in to give it a slight aroma and taste. So you're still getting some of the minerals and vitamins and antioxidants from the extra virgin as well. Regardless of the type of olive oil, it has the same fatty acid profile, with very very minuscule differences in terms of oleic vs linoleic acid ratio. 100% Refined olive has a tiny bit more linoleic but by half a percentage point. I wouldn't worry too much about finding the most extra extra virgin oil possible. It doesn't really matter. What matters is the fatty acid profile.

As another comment suggested. The quality of the extra virgin olive oil can make a big difference. If the olive oil is old or has been oxidized due to light or air over time, it gets rid of any health benefits. High poly phenol count is important for this test. Most grocery store olive oil is nowhere the quality of smaller organic olive oil making companies with harvest and pressing dates less than 12 months. I do love your videos and how you break down the cholesterol logic. People and doctors are so obsessed with the number and so fast to put you on statins.

when you reduces glucose intake you need make more glucose through neoglycogenesis, increasing catabolic hormones: glucagon, cortisol GH adrenaline and noradrenaline. The insuline is couterbalancing the other hormones and reducing lipolisis. Reduce carbs has sense if you have high sugar, but some people has any methabolic defects that make this counterproductive An average healthy person can make about 80 grams of glucose through neoglycogenesis When fasting triglycerides are high it is because lipolysis is low, often it has to do with adrenal fatigue, which also leads to weight gain and insulin resistance.
