Healthy Fat Beats Low Fat

[Guest guest]

This article purports that olive oil is great, and luckily I

had access to the full text.

I had some " healthy " comments about the article which had 3

groups one of which ate a LITER of olive oil per week, and

their parameters were a little better than a " conventional "

mediterranean diet. Also a second group who ate 30 gms of

mixed nuts had better parameters.

My wife is still laughing about the folks who did the 5

OUNCES of oil per day. I wondered why they didn't lose

weight.

There were " improvements " in lipids, - within the noise of

the measurement.

Also, blood pressure - same comment.

But what I noticed most of all was the similarities. It

seemed to me that NO diet would help those people much -

they needed to get their BMI down from 29.

Oddly, that rec was not in the conclusions.

And I have no idea how to add or switch the calories for 5

oz of olive oil. I do eat 0.5 to 1 oz raw walnuts daily.

Regards.
