The truth about heart healthy cooking oils
THis is what Chef AJ ( a vegan cook ) feels - oil is the most calorically dense and nutritionally bereft substance on this universe .
All oils are Atherogenic / Diabetogenic / Obesogenic .
Let me seperate FAT from FICTION
to meet your Omega 3 needs from Olive oil you need to consume 8 ounces of Olive OIl , which is 1900 calories and 42 gms of saturated fat
2 tablespoon of Olive oil has 3 times(3x) more saturated fat than 4 ounces of white meat chicken and same as 4 Ounces of Lean Beef

Q: Guess which has more calories ?
2 table spoons of Olive oil or 100 gms of premium ice Cream?
A: OLive Oil.
OIL by any name doesnt matter , oil from any source doesnt matter .
Oils promote Obesity , diabetes and damage your vascular system , esp if they are refined and not extra-virgin
Let me begin with reading out the 1st Para from dr Mcdougalls August 2007 News Letter
When Friends Ask: Why Do You Avoid Adding
Vegetable Oils?
Begin by telling them, “The fat you eat is the fat you wear,” and remind them that there is nothing attractive about wearing olive, flaxseed, or corn fat.* For this reason alone, most of your friends and family should steer clear of so-called “healthy oils” derived from plant-foods. Gaining weight can be expected from consuming high-fat whole foods, such as nuts, seeds, avocados and olives, as well as “free oils,” which are usually purchased in bottles.
I consider whole foods, even those with high concentrations of fats, to be health-promoting. However, people interested in losing weight should avoid nuts, nut butters, seeds, seed spreads, avocados, and olives, since they all serve as sources of concentrated, easy to consume, calories.
A simple formula for health, as best there is one, comes from Dr. Joel Fuhrman: “health equals nutrients divided by calories” (H = N/C). In other words, the more (micro)nutrients you can get in the fewest number of calories, while still eating whole foods the healthier you’ll be.
So let’s look at how oil fits in with this philosophy:
Oil is not a whole food (it’s the fatty part of what was a whole food).
Oil is extremely dense in calories: while vegetables typically have around 100 calories per pound and fruits 300 calories per pound, oil has 4,000 calories per pound.
Even with all those calories, oil contains little in the way of micronutrition. Valuable omega-3 fatty acids, sometimes, but virtually nothing else.
here is Quote from Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn
“NO OIL! Not even olive oil, which goes against a lot of other advice out there about so-called good fats. Both the monounsaturated and saturated fats contained in oils are harmful to the endothelium, the innermost lining of the artery, and that injury is the gateway to vascular disease. It doesn’t matter whether it’s olive oil, corn oil, coconut oil, canola oil, or any other kind. Avoid ALL oil.” – Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn
ALL oils promote heart disease. A study in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association), all oils – saturated, monounsaturated (olive oil) and polyunsaturated (flax oil) – were associated with an increase in the plaque build up that clogs our arteries and leads to heart attacks.
Oil also causes our red blood cells to clump up, which limits their ability to absorb and deliver oxygen to our cells and slows blood flow. Studies have shown that (blood) flow-mediated dilation decreases by over 30% for four hours after we eat a fatty meal. With such a decrease in flow-mediated dilation, is it any wonder that so many of us “crash” after a meal?
But Don’t We NEED Fats?
In terms of your diet, your body needs two types of polyunsaturated fatty acids: Omega-3s and Omega-6s. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids contribute to brain function. Omega-3s are also thought to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Both Omega-3 and Omega-6 must come from our diet because our cells are unable to manufacture them.
But it must be emphasized that our need for these fatty acids is very small. The National Academy of Sciences says we need only 1/4 of a teaspoon (women) to 1/3 of a teaspoon (men) of fatty acids per day. That’s about 1-3% of caloric intake and is super easy to achieve on a whole food, plant-based diet – without any oils!
At the end of the day, the truth is that essential fatty acid deficiency is essentially non-existent in the general population.
