Oil - Healthy or Harmful? Olive + Coconut Oil in the diet - Benefits vs Risks by a heart doctor

[@b.porterv7418]

No oil for 3 years now. My BP is around 105/60 most of the time. Pulse is 48 bpm. Total cholesterol is around 110. At 43 years old, I'm healthier than I've ever been. WFPB is the way to go. Thanks Dr. Lome, for your efforts at helping people know the truth about the healthiest diet for the human species!

[@b.porterv7418]

@@Quincycle: one of the most dramatic changes is that I lost 75 pounds. I feel great, lost 8 inches off my waist. Once you settle into a routine, it becomes easy. I batch cook on the weekends, and just add fresh fruit and veggies to the starch I prepare ahead of time. You can do it, just keep thinking of the benefits which greatly outweigh anything you might think you're giving up.

I gave up oil over a year ago. My cholesterol dropped 14 points immediately, my 5.0 A1C dropped to 4.7 and my hot flashes went away. I do eat out sometimes and avoid as much oil as possible. Most restaurants I frequent Do a decent job with my no oil request. There is some residual oil, it's hardly anything to worry about, once or twice a week. I do take algal oil vegan capsules. They are very tiny. Thanks for another great video!

Thank you Dr Lome this was so informative. My husband has recently been diagnosed with CAD and we have been plant based since diagnosis but have included olive oil thinking it was heart healthy. There are many Drs on KZbin advocating olive oil. It’s been extremely confusing but I have decided to give up the oils and see how we go. Thank you again

[@vkvkvk317]

Wow! This has been eye opening! We are vegan but still trying to transition into plant based and have noticed that in many vegan recipes videos people cook with water instead of oil, we thought they just dont want to gain weight, we didnt know how harmful it can be! Thank u so much for the video!!! It was very well explained. Could u please elaborate more about what a whole plant foods diet consist of? Especially what it is not included there? The picture of the 3food groups at the start was soooo interesting! And u mentioned that processed food also includes refined grains, I wonder which ones are refined grains. We are trying to eat plant based from Mon-Fri cooking at home and on the weekends eating out so we do consume on those days vegan chicken or vegan pork, nugguets, burguers or those type of things u find in restaurants. Now I think maybe we shoul do that only once a month.

I enjoy your videos very much you are absolutely right about oils, we don't need them to make our food tasty. I haven't use any oil in my cooking for about three years now, I have followed a plant based diet ever since. My blood pressure is better than ever, and my cholesterol dropped to 91. I eat walnuts, almonds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and tofu, among other healthy fats. I make a split green peas soup two days ago, I gave some to a friend of mine, she called me to tanks me and asked for the recipe, because she eat all at once. She couldn't believe that I sauteed the onions and garlic without oil, and tasted so good. There are plenty of spices, and condiments to make our food heavenly good. Once again thank you very much Dr Lome, your videos are pretty helpful, keep posting please.

Populations that follow the Mediterranean diet have some of the longest lifespans and they have olive oil in their diet. If people are living to 100 and have olive oil in their diet then I think I’m ok with taking the chance and enjoying my food.

You and Dr. Greger are my favorites, you guys are precise, clear and backup what you say with great data.

[@brentkirkman7456]

Since I have cut out the olive oil (which I used to pour onto practically everything) and greatly reduced my nut consumption (although I still sprinkle a few organic walnuts on my cereal, along with chia seeds and flaxseeds), I have lost about 10 pounds (170 lbs to 160 lbs) in the last couple of months and notice other benefits. I had already stopped eating meat and dairy several years ago, but have now greatly reduced my fish consumption as well (but take capsules from algae containing 450 mg DHA + EPA as a precaution). I have several servings of fruit a day (including organic berries) and am currently trying to learn how to prepare healthy dishes containing a variety of organic vegetables, grains, and legumes using my new Instant Pot. I am certainly grateful for all the excellent advice I have been receiving from scientists and doctors like Dr. Lome recommending the whole-foods, plant-based diet without oil in a number of outstanding KZbin videos! Some very informative and moving documentaries are also having a big impact. It is very exciting to see more and more people recognizing the tremendous benefits of such a plant-based diet for the health of people, animals, and the planet!

[@tajuhaul]

You are right on it! And elimination diet of all meat products and oils of any kind resulted in a 60 pound weight loss in less than six months and I have never felt better! The minute I re-introduced oils into my vegan diet/whole foods diet the weight lost Stopped. One very Important and powerful Side effect of eating a whole foods/no oil diet was an increase in stamina, the reduction of inflammation in my joints and I generally felt better and had less occurring incidents of anxiety and depression.

Flax is a whole food so it's good to eat. In fact you want to eat about 2 TBsp per day of flax, chia and or hemp seeds to get the necessary omega 3 fatty acids in them. Chia is the hightest next to flax then hemp hearts.

[@OOBEJuanKenobi]

@@DrStevenLome [ Meditation leads to awareness of telepathy, and awareness of telepathy leads to meditation. ] Honesty socially is more important than DOING to impress others. It’s not what we DO to build social value that matters. It’s the respect we are willing to give, as well as the authenticity and sincerity we have within our personalities. The ideas we choose to participate in matter most: they are either friendly or cruel socially. Material wealth, body size, facial features, or DOING will never create authority by default, which is the ability to pass judgments socially the most. Aristocratic men are hypocritical, cowardly, and jealous. Anger and zero accountability are not replacements for honesty and empathy. No one has control over ideas socially. Authoritarianism is a shallow head game: the refusal to share honesty (friendship) socially. Men with negative intentions will show complete bias against ideas supporting emotional freedom, free thinking, and level states of being. Spiritual development, the focus away from the material and towards psychology ONLY (attraction), is promoted as “not important” by conformist men with abusive, fearful, and pragmatic personalities. Spiritual ideas immediately decentralize power, elevate mood, reduce manipulation, and eliminate leadership. Spirituality places much more emphasis on social inclusion, honesty, and collective consciousness. Authoritarians weaponize the material or development in it and use both as reasons to criticize and remain unfriendly (dishonest). Dishonesty is the only way the idea of power may exist. When friendship is seen as more important than power, material development is subservient to mood. When the material is used to boost self worth and reduce others socially, mood is subordinate to power. Joyful ideas supporting free thinking (telepathy, cooperation, and honesty) encourage growth of the human persona, are anti-manipulative, and promote emotional harmony. Men focusing on the immaterial (personality) and on honesty (friendship) have more evolved minds compared to authoritarians consumed with leadership (power). In order to seek status, alphas intentionally remain closed-minded (materialistic), manipulative (controlling), and antagonistic (blame), while also forming intense judgments (jealousy) about more emotionally developed men. Men with mature minds are authentic with others, focus on humor, and shun the idea of emotional leverage. This makes them an unintentional threat socially to serious and conceited men with elitist personalities focused on dominance. Leadership is not warm, nor is it real. It is used in practice to reduce pride in others and to artificially boost feelings of self worth in an individual focused on social image only. Men focusing on telepathy are contradictory socially to alphas promoting leadership. Men with inherent worth (love for others) are offensive to men trying to prove worth (lack of belief in self) with material development. All men know consciousness (Source) and possess a conscience. Possessing a conscience is knowing right from wrong, and refusing to lie about awareness. No man is exempt from understanding Source (love) within, and all of us know we are mentally connected. The idea of comparing human beings to unaware animals is cunning and manipulative. Alphas rely on shared lying socially about awareness in place of being honest (friendly). Character development is ignored with this psychology. Our feelings (thoughts and beliefs) are transmitted and shared vibrationally and mentally. In order to seek power, which is the intention to emotionally reduce others socially, men must feign unawareness of a conscience. Cruel ideas are deliberately participated in and broadcast mentally promoting social dominance. The willful focus on a friendly collective consciousness is a contrarian idea to human animals playing dumb. Being EQUAL TO in the mind socially IS secure, and the ONLY true expression of emotional security that exists. Authoritarians refuse to focus away from being unfair human animals, and remain consumed with social inequality. This forces an unrelaxed, emotionally tense environment driven by melodrama and contempt for others. Alphas are mentally unstable, have manipulative personalities, and possess low feelings of self worth resulting from the intense focus on anger (authority), apathy (indifference), and advantages (dominance). Ideas rooted in mental dominance (alpha psychology) will never promote honesty (friendship). Alphas are homophobic, and are especially critical of friendly men that are emotionally developed. Men with empathy have already worked through insecurities and judgments to focus on telepathy. Prideful men lying about insecurities within use blame and criticisms to seek control over feelings socially in order to project an image of being stronger. This creates artificial versions of emotional security and more value socially enforced with paranoia and anger. Resorting to vibrational attacks for the purpose of self promotion by reducing worth in others mentally leads to violence. Dominance over feelings is impossible, as we all share thinking. Men with emotional IQ are authentic socially and care about calm feelings more. We are telepathic. There is no choice but to be level with others mentally, and to focus on the ultimate truth of what reality is (connection with Source). Evolved men refuse to criticize other people unprovoked or manipulate the truth. Alphas will always share critical thoughts about other people. Men with emotional depth focus on honesty socially more than alphas, creating non-violence. The idea of a social hierarchy (human authority) is degrading and humiliating. It promotes closed-mindedness, fear, and the social inclusion of violence. Thoughtful men focusing on telepathy, and away from conformity, are judged relentlessly for having elevated emotions by alphas refusing to evolve. Lessor minds intentionally share cruel beliefs together promoting the social exclusion of men with empathy socializing positive. These men are mental only in focus, never play head games, and are level in the mind with all. Alphas seek emotional support and validation from each other socially, since the ideas they participate in are rooted in dishonor and physical aggression. Alphas judge honest (friendly) men the most, as they focus away from arrogance entirely, and expect friendship to be returned socially. Passing excessive, unprovoked judgments (authoritarianism) on a better psychology, wavelength, and state of being is jealousy. These criticisms always relate to social harmony and non-violence. Alphas rely on power of numbers to manipulate the truth and to keep primal ideas popular that are intentionally threatening towards men that have already focused away from machismo (lying and fear), and towards telepathy, honesty, and Source. Authoritarians will always promote vibrational attacks against men that have already grown past them in thinking, resulting in petty head games socially. Intelligence is always associated with emotional IQ, and emotional IQ has a direct correlation to the mental focus on social equality. Social equality can only result from honesty (friendship) within the mind. The reason men chose to be honest is because they are aware telepathy is real. It looks stupid to lie about it. Alphas primarily focus on dominance in the mind and social image, and focus entirely away from telepathy within. This reduces their emotional IQ socially. Because of this, alphas will always feel inferior to more honest (friendly) men. Alphas must always focus on acting skills to socialize, since the inner persona is focused only on criticisms, violence, and dishonesty. This creates a shallow personality with a dumb vibe. Forceful thinking men will always share jealousy with men sharing respect with more emotional depth. Only men with emotional IQ can form real personas vibrationally that are not shallow. It is only when the inner mind matches the outer persona that a human being can be likable socially. Shallow men are associated with lying and are not respected when it comes to intelligence, creating situations where they are avoided socially. This angers the minds of men possessing a lower psychology, which often creates unprovoked violent reactions. When thinking is focused on honesty, feelings radiate soft. When thinking is focused on lying, feelings radiate threatening. Machismo and compassion are polar opposites. Machismo will never allow for healing to occur, while compassion is the promotion of both healing and emotional growth. Men focused on compassion will always outsmart less mature men with arrogance sharing no respect. Men will either allow healing (level thinking) to occur socially, or they will attempt to take away pride from others to artificially boost feelings of self worth. Alphas will always attempt to seek an image of more value socially by cheating (violence, greed, or leadership). Judgements from personalities with machismo usually have little substance. Only judgments relating to character issues (dishonesty), violence, or an excessively critical mind have real substance. Passing judgments on men for being honest (friendly) is shallow, arrogant, and completely against the development of our collective consciousness socially. Judgments from alphas are hypocritical, cruel, and reside in dishonor. Shallow judgments from authoritarians will always lead to drama, social inequality, and violence. Alphas focus intensely on cutting other men down unfairly in order to promote a better social image, calling it competitive. It’s time for human beings to let go of classism (psychic warfare) for good. It is jealousy. Secure men are level in the mind and easy to get along with. Alphas resort to conniving and childish head games. Men that focus non-violent and refuse to lie evolve. [ End drama. ] kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnnGeoKtnLR7p80

I love crunchy chips and crackers and miss them like crazy since cutting out all fat except for a limited amount of nuts, seeds, and avocado.

[@VeryLikeLeigh]

@@KJ99otis Yes, packaged tortilla chips were my unhealthy weakness because I could eat so many. Making them in the air fryer takes a bit of time but so easy! Cut a stack of 5 or so tortillas into 6 triangles, 3 straight cuts. Cook at 365 for 20 mins or so then move them around and do another 5 to 10 mins. If too many are stacked on top of each other they don't crisp up, doing less tortillas will come out crispier. Adjust time for how you like them. They come out nice and crispy perfect for salsa or guacamole, and they satisfy the craving for chips without all that oil and salt. Let me know how yours turn out.

[@KJ99otis]

VeryLikeLeigh - WOW! Winner, winner plant based dinner! Thank you so much for the tip. I cut up one tortilla into 6 triangles and placed them directly on the rack of my Breville convection toaster oven. Baked at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and they are PERFECT! I’m crazy excited (can you tell?!) that I can now have guilt free loaded nachos. I always have cooked beans and brown rice on hand as well as my homemade nut free nacho cheez sauce (made with butternut squash, etc). Add cut greens, fire roasted salsa, and homemade cilantro “cream” sauce (made with white beans, garlic, cilantro, etc) and I’m in heaven! It’s so good to be a part of this community and share recipes and encouragement.

Most olive oils in stores are not pure, they are blended with cheap oils like canola oils, vegetable oils etc to cut cost. Pure olive oils are hard to find. Were the studies done with 100 percent pure extra virgin olive oil?

What about omega 3 plant oil algal oil? I use it as a supplement on a vegan diet. Is this also bad????

[@Blue_Dun]

2 questions. I noticed, unless I missed it, you didn't distinguish between olive oil and extra virgin/ cold pressed olive oil. No difference in relation to the point you are making? Secondly, what about physicians like Dr. Robert Lustig, an endocrinologist and author on cholesterol, etc., from UCSF, who has stated that high LDL isnt the problem. Its the relationship or ratio of triglycerides to LDL that's the determining factor underlying cardiac disease.

Is Peanut Butter, just made from ground peanuts, bad as far as the oil in them goes or is that considered a whole food?

[@KJ99otis]

Roger Barbrick - If nothing is added and it’s just ground peanuts it is a whole food. 😊 Nut butters are very calorie and fat dense so it’s generally recommended to use sparingly. I like to add a bit of nut or seed butter when making salad dressings and sauces. Adds great flavor and creaminess and the small amount of healthy fat helps absorption of fat soluble vitamins

[@sallywhite1012]

What about Black seed oil??

[@lennonpaiva7058]

Yeah, coconut oil prevents fatty liver, plus palmitic and stearic acids are the only ones that don't inhibit glucose metabolism, avoiding problems such as diabetes, etc. I'll keep the coconut oil and butter ;)

[@eyes-freefitness2501]

Great video! I do not use oil when I cook. It is extremely challenging to get oil out of my diet when I am with my family. They just do not get “no animal products whatsoever.“ I have not quite figured out how to explain to them that all kinds of oil are best left alone.

[@sylvie4070]

Hi Doctor, what do you think about people on Keto?

[@L48198]

Great video doctor! Oh my goodness. I too fell prey to the idea that you could spread coconut oil on your toast and have it be better for you than butter or jam. I shake my head at my ignorance. I look forward to rounding up the oils in my kitchen and putting them on notice. It makes sense. I’ve been vegan for eight years and still struggle with obesity. I’ve been putting coconut oil and or olive oil in everything trying to ensure that I was getting enough healthy fat. LOL! The fat you eat is the fat you wear. That hit home. My heart thanks you.

Please talk about triglycerides. They say ■ carbs are culprit from grains as it causes insulin resistance not fat as you mentioned ■ And advocate protein intake.

All foods have fat for absorption of vitamins. Don't listen to the myths and hype. . Broccoli is 9.8% fat. Tomato 9.3% fat. Corn 13.1% fat. Quinoa 15.9% fat. Oats steel-cut 14.4% fat. Kale 15.7% fat.

Dr gundry is also a cardiologist from CA at loama linda institution. He RECOMMENDS olive oil. You Drs lose your credibilityshen one says one thing the other says another. Who’s right ? Who do you believe and trust? The contradiction is extremely irritating. I was vegan for 4 years, within that 4 years i started smelling so bad people around me were making comments. It was brutal.

If it is time for you to die, you die. Our time in this planet is not forever. I know someone who has cancer stage 4 but he died from gunshot wound! All foods and oils now have side effects. What matters is a person has the intention of taking care of himself/herself. We just do our best. I see a lot of opposing opinions about what is good and what is bad. My God! I will just look at my parents who eats butter, cooks food on coconut oil and other vegetable oils. My father is 92 y.o and my mother is 89 y.o. Their minds are clear but of course they don't walk fast anymore.

[@VeryLikeLeigh]

Funny thing, a friend just told me that her doctor told her to eat a tablespoon of coconut oil every day so she can get her "healthy fats"! Ha! I told her that her doc is wrong, coconut oil is bad, and she said her doc knows all about nutrition and she trusts her. So there you go. People will do whatever their doctors tell them to do without hesitation and they won't listen to counter arguments or evidence. I told her that doctors are not trained in nutrition but she wants to believe her doc is right and knows it all. I think more doctors are coming on board and telling their patients about proper nutrition, but I wonder what percentage of doctors don't know and are still misleading their patients.

[@rubygreta1]

And you will blindly follow this idiot. You really think adding olive oil to a stir fry is bad for you? Or eating two eggs a month. Never take nutrition advise from and ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST.

[@VeryLikeLeigh]

@@rubygreta1 Dr. Lome is not an idiot! Of course adding a tiny bit of olive oil to something once in a while is probably not bad, especially if you are young. Older people who have had a lifetime of saturated fats and oils in their diet will only be adding to their clogged arteries. But someone like you is probably eating oil in one form or another daily, which isn't good. And 2 eggs per month? I agree not a problem. And yes I WILL take all my nutritional advice from an animal rights activist before I'd take advice from a classically trained physician who has no background on the dangers of the standard american diet.

I'm almost oil free now but apparently my raisins are coated with sunflower oil, but I figure it's a tiny amount. I bake my own whole wheat bread and even started lining my pans with parchement paper. I guess a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking is still ok but then when you heat oil it's even worse apparently. Anyway I've been avoiding oil for about 2 months now and can see my belly fat reduced, I believe it's the way to go. Now I wish I could convince my mother about this. She was almost angry at me when I said I avoid oil. She said I don't agree with you. She uses coconut oil and olive oil. My father had a bypass surgery 9 years ago, and he keeps eating animal products and food cooked with those oils. I feel powerless, I can't do anything and wish my father stays around for as long as possible.
