Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 yeah I am a bit confussed by this as I have a couple booklets and a book on how wonderful olive oil is. but it has to be cold pressed extra if not extra extra vergin. i don't get why the extra extra you are either vergin or you aren't? but I am told that it's better. i for one don't care for olives much. so i don't mind it n things but don't use it much myself. Stuck [lists] Olive Oil Hello All: I just read in Dr. Fife's book that Olive Oil will cause the blood to be more 'STICKY', which is not a good thing, so what oil does one use?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Stuck ! You may take note of this: the fatty acid composition (profile) in % of olive oil follows: 80 % oleic (C18:1), 6% linoleic (C18:2), 9% palmitic (C16) and 3% stearic (C18:0). Fatty acids oleic and linoleic are classified polyunsaturated and highly unsaturated (iodine value of 80). I'm sure you now the implication of these information on our health and nutrition.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 well i think it's just like coconut oil it gets mixed reviews as well. I am of the opinion that it's pretty good for you, esp where it was used so much in the bible. course they weren't using such awful chemicals back then though.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 So Severino, how comes the mediterrean diet is one of the healthiest in the world. They have longevity and do not get as many diseases. Most probably it has a lot to do with consuming more fresh fruit and veg and sea food but they also eat lots of olive oil. I don't believe it can be bad for you as long as it is cold pressed virgin etc and poured on salads not heated. > Funny, if it's so bad, why are the people that consume large amounts of it so healthy? My great grandmother lived to be 98, eating olive oil every day of her life. Maybe it was the daily dose of wine. > > J.B. > > Severino Magat <sev_magat@...> wrote: > Hi Stuck ! > > You may take note of this: the fatty acid composition (profile) in % of olive oil follows: 80 % oleic (C18:1), 6% linoleic (C18:2), 9% palmitic (C16) and 3% stearic (C18:0).

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hello All: It looks like I started something with that Post about Olive Oil but Dr. Fife said that because it is one of the Monounsaturated Oils and perhaps they all cause the platelets to be more sticky. I love Olive Oil HOWEVER, I'll be keeping that in mind. Does anyone know of another Oil that is NOT Monounsaturated for use in Salads???

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Sev Magat, please don't try to mislead people, oleic acid in olive oil is mono unsat fat and not polyunsat as you mentioned. The refinement of oil removes the better portion of this monounsat fat which is beneficial to some extent. n.g. central FL Stuck <Sstuck@...> wrote: no all that is a it over my head though the unsaturated makes me think you don't like it?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Dear Bonnie and others, To my mind, olive oil (in natural/virgin/extracted by cold press processing) despite being dominantly a highly unsaturated plant oil (mainly oleic and linoleic) is a a very desirable salad oil. In the books of Dr Bruce Fife, this has been mentioned many times. Applications or uses of olive oil with high heat (temperature) like serving as a regular cooking oil should be avoided because the oil becomes unstable associated with transfat conversion or generation, eventually not healthy for all. This matter I learned from respected experts and practioners. Opposite thinking and reactions, as well as constructive confirmation of my stand is much welcomed from the group.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi guys, As far as I understand fats and oils, I agreed with Sev explanation on the uses of polyunsaturated oil (in this case Olive oil - refering to the cold pressed olive oil) , monounsaturated oils , etc...in that when we use the oil 'cold usaeage in salad' ( not with heat application as in cooking) then the goodness of the olive oil is benefited by us , verses the olive being used in cooking (heat > 100 C ?)...then the structures of the 'goodness' of the olive oil is lost ! ( which engenders 'harm' to our body). May I suggest that we need always try to remember the BASIC of the goodness of using VCO (as in cold pressed extraction)and to avoid applying such 'goodness' directly to other vegetable oils. This may misinform some readers in the forum causing some confusion as to the goodness of the mono- & polu-unsaturated oils.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I've been told Safflower oil is suppose to be good for you cold...I make my salad dressing out of it...is suppose to help get your metabolism going and is a long chain fatty acid if memory serves me correctly - whichever one is suppose to be better for you....it tastes pretty good and is suppose to be better to help lose weight etc even more than olive oil.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 For a complete explanation of the pro and cons of olive oil, and a comparizon of VCO with other edible oils like safflower and many others, the book " RX: Coconuts! " from Dr Vermen Verallo-Rowell is a very good source. Dr Verallo-Rowell is a dermatologist with activity in Cancer Research Centers in Manila and in US, she intiated many clinical researches about topical/systemic uses of VCO in various health conditions. Very interesting book indeed, highlighting only the effects which have been scientifically proved. And there are some that have never been discussed here....For exemple, growth factors of coconut water, having shown important anti-aging features. s Re: [lists] Olive Oil I've been told Safflower oil is suppose to be good for you cold...I make my salad dressing out of it...is suppose to help get your metabolism going and is a long chain fatty acid if memory serves me correctly - whichever one is suppose to be better for you....it tastes pretty good and is suppose to be better to help lose weight etc even more than olive oil.
