Olive Oil - the facts

Shelley Re: the olive oil "controversy" in the Liver Flush Forum .
I posted a reply there which didn't get read because of the week curezone was down. Basically the article which the poster referenced trashing olive oil was poor Science to say the least.

Firstly it is preliminary research and hasn't even been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal yet. Many would say it was non-science.

Secondly and more importantly the article doesn't say what type/grade of olive-oil was used. Indeed it hints at a highly refined oil because the main point of the article is that OO (Olive-Oil) should only be consumed with veggies which have plenty of antioxidants. However cold-pressed, unprocessed extra virgin olive oil is loaded with antioxidants such as Vitamin E and chlorophyll. So the only point of the article is to say don't consume highly refined olive oil!!! Only consume cold-pressed, unprocessed extra virgin olive oil, preferably organic, which is what our ancestors have been doing for centuries and which is what gave them such good health and vitality.

People should not get their Science from newspapers, especially if they are scientifically illiterate and can not distinguish good Science from bad.

Refine any food enough and it becomes poison. Even olive oil.
