“some of those. Extra virgin olive oil is one of them that I love. I eat a lot of because I had it contains lots of polyphenols. It does. And, you know, it's really one of the keys we've now come to understand of the so-called Mediterranean diet.”
“But I find it threatening. Alcohol itself is a neurotoxin. And I think it's, let's get our polyphenols from what you just described, what you just showed, from coffee and extra virgin olive oil. I think I'll tread lightly here at risk of becoming an internet meme.”
“So there it's really compared to what? And so what do I mean by that? If you're going to use butter in place of extra virgin olive oil or soybean oil or canola oil or other oils with healthy unsaturated fats, it's a worse choice. You're going to worsen your health than having sort of, you know, seed, nut, fruit oils that are rich in phenolics and unsaturated fats.”
“I think they're amazing, terrific, healthy foods, but it's probably not just the fats. And so extra virgin olive oil, as you know, has lots of anti-inflammatory compounds. One of the really interesting ones is oleocanthal. Oleocanthal binds Cox receptors, which is the same receptors that aspirin binds and has natural anti-inflammatory effects at low levels, low levels.”
“And so the reason you get that burn in your throat when you have extra virgin olive oil is that the oleocanthal is binding the exact same receptors that aspirin would bind. If you've ever ground up an aspirin and it burns your throat, it's the same receptor.”
“that's bad. We also generally cook and use extra virgin olive oil for everything because of the taste. I just really like the taste a lot. But if we're going to actually fry and like do some deep frying, we use canola oil because it burns, olive oil will burn, and canola oil is actually more stable than extra virgin olive oil.”
“it was the heat of the sun, it was bugs biting it. Think of the deep colored, rich pigments in things like berries and the pomegranates or the bitterness of extra virgin olive oil or the bitterness of rosemary, thyme, basil, herb, or the bright colored aspects of turmeric, the bitterness and the bright colors, focusing”
“there. So, those plant compounds that I talked about there, whether it be extra virgin olive oil, like a bitter tea, oolong poerd tea, green tea, herbs and spices, berries, pomegranates, the bitterness, the bright colors are a way to help with cellular repair mechanisms.”
“You wanna do low moderate fat, but just do the right fats. And it's extroverted. Extra virgin olive oil really should be almost the only oil you're doing. I do so much extra virgin olive oil. And I start every morning with a shot of really good expeller pressed, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.”
