I use olive oil, butter, and coconut oil for differing meals.
Each has a different fat profile.
If I have chosen poorly, I am doomed.
Coconut oil is even better for your brain.
I’m not a huge fan of the taste...but some EVOO and butter are a descent combination for taste and I’ve worked them into a daily recipe.
Margarine is plastic butter.
They need to send a tanker truck full to the White House for Traitor Joe.
Wife uses mainly EVOO and Avocado Oil, which seems to be a healthy oil also. She doesn’t want to use EVOO in things like home made granola, but the Avocado Oil blends in well.
Does olive oil reduce dementia, or do people who use it live lifestyles and eat foods that reduce the odds of dementia?
Seems like this is one of those “Wet streets cause rain” types of studies!
Is it the oleuropein or something about the whole oil? I take the former separately.
take pure olive oil (which is not cheap) first thing in the AM. It gets your gallbladder doing it’s thing, releasing bile into your system, which makes ALL other things start to work. Hormone, nutrients, etc. Choline is critical for brain health and it originates in the liver (or released therefrom)
Vinegar and oil salad dressing: simple and healthy.
Since you can’t tell which oil is unadulterated, will it work to just eat olives, instead?
“Remarkably, the study demonstrated that swapping a teaspoon of butter or mayonnaise for an equivalent amount of olive oil on a daily basis was associated with an 8% to 14% decrease in dementia-related deaths”
Do I have to swap? Can I have both?
Tessier cautioned that the research is observational and does not prove that olive oil is the cause of the reduced risk of fatal dementia.
Also of concern, the research is from Harvard.
Research does not seem to be published in a paper this was from a conference presentation.
