Is Oil Healthy? Vegan vs Low Carb Perspective

[@carpenterfamily6198]

I do know this, I was on Keto for 5+ years ~ and I LOVED it ! Then I had a heart attack which I attribute to the animal proteins and high fats. Now I’m following the Ornish lifestyle, which is four parts ~ but includes a plant based, low fat and low sugar diet.

Yikes, I'm so sorry to hear about your heart attack. Loving to read about food history as I do, this dietary pattern has clearly been with us for milennia: we love meat and fat, when we transition to eat a lot of it we feel and look great for 5, 10, 20 years or more, but it almost always turns into a sad movie. Versions of high meat & fat diets have a short half life and I don't know why, except maybe the founders of them rarely age well and live long. Am I wrong?

I grew up in greece and Italy fifty years ago, very small amounts of olive oil and sauces were put on pizzas, original Naples pizzas have no cheese or meat and even fifty years ago in Rome had no cheese or meat, a very small amount of sauce with a small amount of olive oil, was put on pasta. Salads also were given just a tiny drizzle of oil. Fried foods and oily foods were eaten in some of the poorer and some of the richer areas, it was a preference to some but it was un argued that it wasn’t good for you.

This video lumps in olive oil with the industrially processed seed oils. Yes olive oil has very low linoleic acid content, it's not that bad. But canola, soybean, corn and sunflower oil have a lot of linoleic acid, and don't have such a long history of human consumption.

Enjoyably thorough discussion of the science and with useful comparisons. Good to have back up knowledge to help us here. So appreciate it that you showed that age and fitness makes a difference in what is recommended. My quite unscientific way of thinking about nuts, seeds and plant oil is about how difficult they've been for humans to get hold of in past millennia. This might sort of suggest how much we should eat of them. Coconuts, high up the tree, very hard shell, maybe only a little. Seeds, pick them off walking through fields, probably more. Walnuts, hazelnuts, it takes a while to shell them with a rock, so however much you can be bothered to shell for dinner, about a handful. How hard is it to squeeze out oil from olives? It takes time and effort. Avocados, how big were they in past millennia, fairly small.Anyway, very grateful for all the scientists trying to figure it out. Great topic.

I think some of these vegan/nutritarian purists go overboard in their animosity towards vegetable oils. Does anyone think the Okinawans or Sardinians rigorously reviewed dietary studies before consuming their longevity diets? There is plenty of space to include high quality nut, seed and vegetable oils in the diet with harm. The important parts of dietary habits are minimizing animal based foods and highly processed carbs and maximizing fruits, whole grains and vegetables, particularly green leafy veggies in a raw state. People can over-complicate a good diet. You should be able to look into anyone's shopping cart in a grocery store and predict whether or not their diet will lead to metabolic syndrome diseases.

One direct question: You mentioned the era when we decided to empty out our mental institutions, and thus you finding yourself on the street with your mom. I remember this time period too.

I am hopeful that more of us laypeople will be able to educate ourselves on the real science of nutrition.

When I first went WFPB, I purposely chose a very boring, oil-free diet that consisted of a lot of plain raw and steamed veggies and limited fruits while nuts (once a week) and some complex grains (max one cup a day) were a treat. It was probably close to a Joel Fuhrman diet without knowing it. Flavored vinegars really scratched that "salty" itch I was missing, and weight loss was very easy because I was consistent. Then I decided to add in a bit of fats with oils, avocado, and nuts and immediately loss stopped and gains happened. Same for my GF. I did enjoy the tastes again, but I also felt weighed down after eating them. Now we stick to the oil-free hummus and raw veggies, even if we get odd looks when eating that for breakfast. It really is true that one diet does not fit all.

You sound just like me. I have mostly disconnected from food. I just eat raw and Boring. But im getting all my WFPB requirements in. I do like to have a warm lentil curry and quinoa soup. And roaster sweet potato has become a treat. I think I need to liven up my raw meals.

Always coming to the same conclusion - balanced diet. Unfortunately, the word "balance" is perceived subjectively. And this can be a huge problem when relying exclusively on media.

Thanks for sharing a bit of your experiences with your mother's mental illness. My father grew up with family violence and it affected my own experiences growing up. He never struck me or my mother but we had to abruptly move several times after he knocked out a variety of other adult men. In most cases they probably didn't understand why he rendered them unconscious. Dad confided in me after each event after he realized I was no-tell. Mom and I were both deeply affected. This was in the 1950's into the 1960's. In 1960 we moved to another state where my name was used to conceal his location. Sure, he never hit me but I grew up knowing my father was a potential killer. As I grew up I wondered if I was right believing the potential part.

It remains that humans existed on animal fats as their fats for tens of thousands of years. There was quite a bit of olive oil in use in the Mediterranean also. Ninety-nine percent of the seed oils in our diets today did not exist more than about a hundred years ago and is one of these: corn oil canola oil safflower oil sunflower oil soybean oil peanut oil.

In Greece they made olive oil for thousands of years. When you want to heal your liver its better to have little amounts of fat. If one has heart-desease its better to eat very little oil, but if you are not overweight and healthy you can have reasonable amounts of healthy fats. That‘ my state of knowledge.

I'm a LONG term vegan with bad genetics regarding diabetes. I weigh nothing...like, you can't hardly see me, so obesity is not what is causing my blood sugar to go up. A high fat diet IS making my sugar go up. Starting today, I'm back on low fat. Rip Esselstyn compared ALL oils to refined white sugar. That is accurate.

[@noname-bt9ky]

I am t1d and since I went to high fat diet my average blood sugars have gone down so much lmao. I don’t get blood sugar spikes anymore and my insulin sensitivity has gotten better! Meat has saved my life.

[@noname-bt9ky]

Never have been so amazing after I started eating meat

[@Atheria444]

@@noname-bt9ky Meat didn't save your life. Many people eat meat and die of heart attacks, etc. MAYBE you happen to need a lower carb diet, but that doesn't mean that has to include meat. I grew up as an omnivore and it didn't make me feel fabulous.

Maybe I missed. But I didn’t notice comparison of wfpb oils vs pure wfpb. That would be awesome to figure out.

15:09 lol (great stuff - they don't see it because they don't want to see it.) I went keto for a while (2018-2019) - my inflammation went away - I didn't hurt and wasn't stiff anywhere for the first time in YEARS. 14:03 just made it very clear why my inflammation went away. I spent all of my wits to stop smoking this past year. In the meantime, I gained 60 pounds. (small price to pay) Now, my journey is to get this blubber off of me. I'm not sold on keto, but I'm not sold on vegan either. Keto because there's not enough variety, and my spidey senses tell me that a healthy diet needs variety - Vegan because it seems that all of your nutrients should be included in a healthy diet. (b12) So, I know I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm 57 and on a mission to commit to a diet that will sustain me till death. Preferably sooner than later. (diet, not death) I love your videos and your presentations. They really give me food for thought. ;) They also make me challenge my own beliefs about food and health. Stay blessed. Haha.. just finished and got a good laugh from the Clint Eastwood story. He is one of my many heroes from childhood. It made my heart smile :)

KETO is just about no carbs. You eat veg. and meat. No one needs carbs. I don't do the KETO diet myself. I just reduced carbs a lot. And NO sugar based food's. Get your body used to burning fat for energy. KETO will do that. again I don't do KETO 100%. But going good many hours without eating anything is very good to do. (Intermittent fasting)

Im surprised yall added this with him saying a bit of oil is okay, considering how tied to the whole plant based nonprocessed you guys sometimes are. Good stuff 🤙

[@ssamd263]

You don’t see doctors telling patients it’s ok to smoke once in a while. I found that it was hard to give up fat and oil but after a few weeks it got a lot easier to manage the trick is to not let yourself get hungry where you don’t have good choices.

[@Meccarox]

@@ssamd263 smoking is not comparable to eating unsaturated oils

[@ssamd263]

@@Meccarox maybe you’re right I’m no expert but heart disease is the number one killer in the USA and oil is a big contributor.

[@Meccarox]

@@ssamd263 Oil is not a big contributor… eating a lot of saturated fat is the cause of heart disease. The majority of oils are unsaturated and they are shown to reduce the risk of heart disease when replacing sources of saturated fat. The only oils that have been shown to contribute to heart disease are the ones high in saturated fat such as coconut oil and palm oil.

[@marjanvanduren]

How about MCT oil? And without some oil how donI bake some things. I am new to this and dont know where to start 😊

[@LavenderValley777]

It's not easy to give up oil when it's tied to food cooking.. it also depends on cultural country cuisine. Since cuisine can be cooked without oil but not all.. I'm in India my cuisine greatly demands oil atleast moderate. So I need to know which can be used safely in moderation. Olive oil is too costly and can't suit our food

[@jybuys]

I thought they use ghee in India cuisine.

[@LavenderValley777]

@@jybuys yes we do. But only in sweets and we also add it in food and mix it with curry to enhance taste. But we don't regularly use ghee for cooking purpose..

A little olive or canola oil can go a long way when creating healthy meals. A tablespoon of oil to lightly caramelize onion as the base of a meal that serves 4 or a light brushing of oil on vegetables to prevent them drying out and allowing them to roast to perfection. Used like this a tiny amount of oil can make healthy foods 1000 times more desirable. No need to drench food in oil to make it palatable.

[@IAMCHIBI_VG]

thats your oppinion, here we talking about scientific evidence, the less oil you consume the better for you

[@frankchen4229]

@@IAMCHIBI_VG good luck cooking good tasting vegetables without oil. Are you really gonna steam them every time?

[@FM-qm5xs]

@@IAMCHIBI_VG I never claimed any scientific facts. Speaking from experience I hated eating vegetables and barely ate any before I learned to cook properly. Now I eat lots of vegetables and I love them. That is a good thing in my opinion. A small amount of oil to improve overall eating habits is 100% worth it to me.

Does olive oil come from the seed of the olive or from the flesh?
