Thanks. > > Becky > ======================== I do believe she is referring to the juice cleanse and possibly either Shultz' or . These guys use olive oil for a specific reason. One it is monounsaturated (not exactly sure what that may have to do with it), and two they all say this particular oil helps lubricate the bile ducts, as opposed to any other oils. Maybe it is because olive oil has been used for thousands and thousands of years as opposed to any other oils and has a proven track record. It has been shown that monounsaturated oils are better for your body than polyunsaturated oils which Udo's is formulated with. Don't get me wrong I am not knocking Udo's oil. He did good. Here is a small blurb I ran over from a google search: The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids <http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/healing-fats.htm> and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies have shown that olive oil offers protection against heart disease <http://www.healingdaily.com/conditions/heart-disease.htm> by controlling LDL ( " bad " ) cholesterol levels while raising HDL (the " good " cholesterol) levels. (1-3) No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated as olive oil -mainly oleic acid. Olive oil is very well tolerated by the stomach. In fact, olive oil's protective function has a beneficial effect on ulcers and gastritis. Olive oil activates the secretion of bile and pancreatic hormones much more naturally than prescribed drugs <http://www.healingdaily.com/conditions/pharmaceutical-companies.htm>. Consequently, it lowers the incidence of gallstone formation <http://www.healingdaily.com/liver-detoxification/liver-flush.htm>. It is quite possible that this could be why they use olive oil instead of Udo's or anyone elses oil.
