Extra Virgin Olive Oil and cheaper Refined Olive Oil both helped, but EVOO had different effects than ROO.

It’s interesting they did MRI and blood tests to show benefit.

Use olive oil more, when you can.

I do not really like olive oil taste.
I currently use “Bertolli olive oil extra light taste”

My sister says do not use any oil with soy in it.
I use butter for most anything in the frying pan.
Gordon Ramsey says to use olive oil when using butter so the butter does not burn.

What are the recommendations for olive oil to use?

Just wanted to thank you for posting the medical articles. I frequently pass them on to friends. Much appreciated.

Olive oil is all I use anymore.

I do have some palm and lard but it’s so easy to just
pour out that nice olive oil.

I try to keep 5 gallons in the pantry and I rotate them
so they don’t get too old.

I get the cheap walmart olive oil... about 23USD/gallon

Researchers have known for years that medium chain triglyceride fats (MCTs) found in olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil are very good for the brain.

MCTs are absorbed into the blood and go straight to the brain, bypassing the liver processing long chain triglycerides must go through (margarine, canola oil, corn oil, etc.) The brain uses fats for energy. Super low-fat diets cause brain fog.

Now we are seeing more and more studies showing the positive effects of these oils on function, memory and dementia/alzheimer’s (something to do with slowing the build up of amelyoid plaques).

But Big Pharma will kill this. No profits to be made in natural substances that cannot be patented.

I have recent purchased “early harvest” EVOO for my coffee in the morning. I’m given to understand that”early harvest” EVOO has the most polyphenols.

“Normal” olive oil? LOL. EVOO is “normal” in our house.

“Extra virgin” (EVOO) is the first pressing of the fresh-harvested olives, usually with a cold press. It looks green, smells and tastes the most flavorful like eating an olive, and has the most nutritional benefits.

“Olive oil” (the official labeling name for what the author calls “normal”) is the second or third pressing of fresh or stored olives, or a blend of them. Some producers may use some heat to refine it. Yellow color, milder flavor, not as much aroma or as many vitamins; but still better for you than many of the seed oils or Crisco.

Interesting article. I make salad dressing using EVOO, red wine vinegar plus spices.

Kirkland brand (COSTCO) EVOO was top rated in Cooks' Illustrated.
