Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Dear , Olive oil is very high in salicylates and cold pressed or expeller pressed olive oil is even higher. In fact any cold pressed or expeller pressed oil is higher in salicylates than its non-pressed equivalent. My information is from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) in Sydney, Australia, which has studied natural food chemicals extensively and has a very thorough elimination diet, which excludes natural and artificial food chemicals and additives, as well as known triggers such as dairy and gluten etc. RPAH uses the word salicylates to be an indicator to the quantity amount of the many compounds which are related and are phenols and mostly salicylates. I have used the diet for my son and myself and found that we both have lots of food intolerances and eliminating the offending substances - salicylates, amines, glutamates, preservatives, gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, artificial additives of any sort ... -- has given me a new son and improved my health tremendously. Hope this helps. Regards, ----original message ----- Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 02:04:15 -0000 From: kjorn@... Subject: Phenols/benzoates/bananas/ pineapples/olives I had a reply to a post on another board. The Feingold literature I was re-reading a bunch of times should be interpreted to mean that banana, pineapples, and potatoes are both benzoates and medium level salicylates. I have asked about the olive oil being a benzoate twice but haven't gotten an answer yet. Olives are listed as allowed for vegetables as far as salicylate goes. .

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 > Olive oil is very high in salicylates and cold pressed or expeller > pressed olive oil is even higher. What type of oil should we use, sparingly of course, in cooking? I give my 5 year old son ProEFA, which is a mixture of fish oil and borage oil, so he's getting some good essential fatty acids daily, but I thought that olive oil was one of the best ones for cooking with. . . . I had even been adding a little olive oil to his pasta occasionally, just before serving so that it would retain some of the health benefits. (He's underweight, and since I've taken all hydrogenated oils out of his diet, I felt I needed to give him perhaps a little more fat than the ProEFA provides him. He's vegetarian (except for the fish oil supplement), and really doesn't get much fat at all except for what I purposely give him.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 What oil are you using instead? I've been using olive oil exclusively since I found out that some kids react badly to canola oil. ( & Malachi's mom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not on the official Feingold program for him because he needs even more restriction than Feingold. I use corn oil for him, and also he can have safflower oil. I just tried a soy challenge with him, he had terrible problems with soy before enzymes, and he is okay with soy now, so I bought some soy oil to use for some variety. I have not tried re-introducing canola, sesame, or olive with him yet, but he did not tolerate them before enzymes. He does not tolerate sunflower oil even with enzymes, or most other nut/seeds like peanuts, almonds, etc. One thing tho, that I have noticed for him and also for me, is that oils interfere with his sleeping, no matter what type of oil it is, and even if he otherwise tolerates it. So I do not give any oils after lunchtime, otherwise he will be hyper at bedtime, have some difficulty sleeping, and will wake early. But oils given before lunchtime, in any form, do not affect his sleeping, or mine either. I hope that helps you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 Hi Is there a link for more information on the RPAH diet? My son has many food intolerances and I believe he has trouble with phenols/salicylates. I am attmpting a modified Feingold diet with my son in addition to being GFCFSF. Since you are removing so many foods, what are some typical things that you CAN eat? Any info would be appreciated. Phenols/benzoates/bananas/ pineapples/olives I had a reply to a post on another board. The Feingold literature I was re-reading a bunch of times should be interpreted to mean that banana, pineapples, and potatoes are both benzoates and medium level salicylates.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Cute. I've used spritz's from a spray can of olive oil. Whole foods also sells spray cans of other kinds of oil... or you can buy the oil you want & put it in your own spray can. Not as flavorful, but there's always plain popcorn. I wish I knew a way to get seasonings to stick to popcorn without spray.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 This was featured in " NATURE " when the article came out. Only problem is that the equivalent dose comparable to 600 mg of ibuprofen is a GLASS of olve oil... SO just keep using it on your salads..
