Olive oil is an omega 6 bomb that is often cooked beyond its flash point causing

a rancid reaction within the body a free radical buffet.Dr. Cousens

addresses food intake in a very analytical way as far as optimal health goes.The

omega 6 overload caused by oil/fat to omega 3 is a major factor towards issues

of health.There is no need for humans to consume concentrated calories in the

form of refined fat/oil.There is an abundance of research on this subject and

Cousens has books availiable at amazon.com.

In other words, olive oil should not be used for cooking at high temperatures -

which is recommended these days.  But, is there anything else about consuming

uncooked olive oil, such as in salad dressings, tossing with potato pieces

before roasting, or in bruschetta?  Please advise.

Thank you,

I can find an abundance of research that clearly shows olive oil in moderation

is a good part of a well balanced diet - there is research to suggest

otherwise.  I recall a study a few years back that suggested that olive oil can

restrict blood flow (omega 9 vs. omega 3 in fish oil and canola).  Most of the

research that I can find, does not take into account factors like physical and

emotional stress and overall diet in general.

I could do a study on how spinach can increase your chance of heart attack and

stroke by 500%... all i'd have to do is feed a group of people nothing but

spinach for a week, and chances are their blood would thicken and clot, because

spinach and other foods do just that.

My thinking is that a well balanced diet including olive oil (well-balanced

being the key word) is a good thing.

It would be interesting to see some studies that do take into account a

controlled and well-balanced diet - i think it would be a challenge for them to

prove that olive oil is bad for us.

Tossing with potato pieces before roasting *is* cooking it at high temperatures.

That said, there's no such thing as raw olive oil because there's no

regulation on terms like " cold pressed. " Consider all olive oil to

have been cooked. (Unless you buy one from a trustworthy seller who

tells you that their olive oil truly is raw and you believe them.)

For a normal person or for a diabetic? I thought we were originally

talking about how diabetics should stay away from olive oil. A

non-diabetic can get away with eating a lot of stuff that a type 2

diabetic should really stay away from if they want to recover from

their illness.

It really is an individual thing. Some people thrive on foods that are

slowly killing other people. Saying that it's a good thing for me to

eat olive oil is like saying it's a good thing for a celiac to have a

well-balanced diet including wheat. The celiac can limp along for a

surprising amount of time on low amounts of wheat before their system

breaks down but it will eventually break down. Similarly, I ate olive

oil and continued to live but my illness also continued to progress.

And how does one obtain balance when using a concentrated calorie omega 6

bomb.The answer is that they dont they will have to supplement fish oil to bring

their lipid profile into balance.The point is that theres nothing balanced about

removing the fiber and concentrating the liquid extract of plant or animal

foodstuffs.Removing all foods that will scew balance is logical and edifies the

body.These oils also interfere with prostolagandins and adding to inflamation

issues which leads to PAIN.

It opens with " Many people recognize that saturated fats are needed

I thought carbohydrates were the macronutrient that is needed for energy?

If you are a type 2 diabetic, you might want to reconsider that.

Unless you're happy being a diabetic for the rest of your life, that

is. Myself, I'm working toward the day (and making steady progress in

that direction) when I can say I *used to be* a diabetic.

If you are a type 1 diabetic and don't enjoy the high cost of insulin,

you might want to reconsider as well, since current studies have shown

that a low-fat vegan diet with no added vegetables oils reduce the

units of insulin type 1 diabetics need.

50 years ago, the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 was about 1:2, people ate a lot

more fish, soil was less depleted, food was less processed - today the ratio for

most is about 25:1, Not just olive oil, but corn oil, nearly every processed

food, especially baked goods, none of it is 'good for us'.

I eat very well, mostly fresh living foods,and i still supplement with omega 3

and a good multi vitamin, so if i want to have a cheeseburger every couple

months, or a scoop of ice cream, i have no fear that its going to affect my

health.

For some, maybe that fear is justified, I don't know.

i love olive oil, and i love ice cream, but it is very rare that i eat them..

I went from the pills, to low dose insulin, now i'm back on the pills since I

started sprouting and eating better.  My doctor thinks it is very possible that

i won't need the pills if i keep eating right.  My levels are very very good and

keep getting better.

Thank you though, good looking out

In other words, olive oil should never be used for frying at high temperatures. 

A mild saute is okay, and recommended - a common fact, which has been  used by

great chefs and cooks throughout the ages.
