I don't use a lot of dairy as it is congesting for me but I do like a little butter--I melt together a mix of half butter with half olive oil and roasted garlic--very good on toast or vegeys.

I'd like to know how much body-fat these people who use olive-oil daily have on them. I agree that healthy oils & fats are an important part of our diets.
80-10-10, 80% of your calories from fruit & veggies, 10% protein, & 10% fats (nuts, avacados, maybe butter & oils). This is what many good nutritionists & healers recommend. If you consume too much oils or nuts (fat), it may feel good, as in comfort food, but according to some nutritionists, it's unhealthy. The appendix is especially vulnerable to too many nuts, not chewed up well. If you ever go 100% raw, or vegan, try not to overdo it on the nuts & oils. It's easy to do, because at first you'll be hungry & want high-cal foods. I believe that I have personally suffered a great, in part, for consuming far too many nuts when I first started moving more towards a vegan diet, & had the money to afford nuts in volume.

If you solidify Olive oil in a jar in the fridge and mix in a little salt (use celtic sea salt or rock salt), it can be used as a substitute for butter for anyone who is dairy intolerant or wishes to eliminate or restrict their dairy intake.

(Extra Virgin) Olive oil is all I've ever used... delicious, nutritious and works with everything. Nothing like olive oil glazed veges with sea salt and herbs... yum yum.

It's a great moisturiser too, or as a scrub (with sea salt).

Simply put olive oil is to the mediterraneans as natto is to the Japanese....

Combine them both along with other proven strategies (that can be found right here) can only result in a prescription for a long and healthy life..... and i wonder where that dove went to.......

Olive oil has been used for ages for healing and for food. I consume it daily. It's delicious when drizzled(or poured) on scrambled eggs with a little goat cheese.

Someone please explain to me how you are suppose to keep your
ratio of omega fats @ 1/1 or 2/1 in this modern day world. Assuming one
has limited access to grassfeed beef and is encouraged to avoid most wild fish due to toxins. In so far as none of the supplements come close to meeting the daily fat requirements.

Thanks

I have no problems with the fact olive oil is good for your body, but It does not do well at high temperatures, Coconut oil would be better for cooking.

Olive oil, like other naturally pressed or crushed occurring oils (coconut, cocoabutter, palm, etc.) that are NOT partially hydrogenated, fully hydrogenated or chemically fractionated (rapeseed/canola, corn, cottonseed, peanut, sunflower) along with whole raw dairy butter fat are best for health.

Remember, the body REQUIRES at least 20%, in most cases of one's daily consumption to be good for you fats and oils for optimum brain function and overall best health.

Avoid fake aerated smart spreads (pure chemistry) and margarines (polymer chemistry) like the plague.
