Hi people, as an answer to many questions im reading I will give my experience. in Spain we use to consume extra virgin olive oil, raw (not heated) daily, "picual" olive variety (which has the higest amount of poliphenols). The younger the best, if its posible buy an oil of this years harvest (if its almost Green is beter). the taste has to be a Little bitter and spicy. these are the best indicators.

This guy solved my wife's fibromyalgia. I read his book The Plant Paradox and she quit eating whole grains and brown rice. But it comes back if she doesn't follow the whole grain free diet.

I would be more convinced if there are scientific microscopic photos inside the arteries of someone with heart disease before consuming Olive oil and photos after 4-6 months of consuming Olive oil. Thanks

I never ate olive oil until I moved to Greece 35 years ago. That’s when I fell in love with it. I use only olive oil- no butter, no margarine, no other oils. It’s what makes the Greek cuisine so tasty. So glad to know how healthy it is. Thanks, Dr G. Unfortunately, for many years now, Greeks have become addicted to fast foods & now heart disease is a serious problem here. Young people have become overweight early in life & I fear they will grow up & their kids will know nothing else. Very sad.

thank you Dr. Gundry, being of Italian heritage, I'm lucky enough to already be aware of the benefits of virgin olive oil. I want to thank you for explaining it so simply so everyone can understand instead of a lot of medical jargon, which a lot of folks don't understand. very well done, elma frullani masters

I had a problem - personally I hate the taste of Olive oil. And its not just the "oh you never tried the real stuff", my country is pond across the Italy so I tried their stuff, as well as olive oil made from friends that own olive farms and make cold pressed stuff for them.
But, adding few tablespoons of Olive oil to sauerkraut and garlic salad is really amazing for me. Also instead of mayonnaise I mix olive oil and crème fraiche and its amazing.

Dear Doctor. Congrats for your videos and books, they’re superb. Please next time don’t forget to mention Spain as the world leading olive oil producer. Spain alone produces more than the rest of all the countries combined together! So it’s over 50% and we spaniords lead consumption as well. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart!

I mix olive oil and chia seeds with other herbs and spices and lemon juice along with some sort of protein. I eat it everyday. I feel amazing.

It gets confusing when one doctor tells you to cut down olive oil consumption and another to increase it. I can remember as a young man my doctor advised me to not train with weights because it would stunt my growth and make me not flexible. How times change! How wrong he was. I trust your argument about Mediterranean people not suffering as much heart decease as other areas of the world. Olive oil and (I suspect) red wine may be contributors to that. Thank you doctor for your information. I put my trust in your knowledge and expertise.

Will drinking your olive oil help clear up gunk already in your arteries or will it just help prevent more ?

[jeffarp]

Heres some more uses for olive oil
If your dog is shaking his head a lot its probably ear mites, put a tablespoon of olive oil in each ear and in a day or two your dog will thank you. It smothers the mites and gets rid of them. You can also mix some olive oil and some coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree oil warm it up so the coconut oil becomes liquid and mix well. this stuff is the best skin lotion I have ever used.

Thank you Dr. Gundry for sharing this information. I’m taking 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil every morning, is that enough? How much do I need to take? I live in the US and there’s so many different olive oil in the market. Which one is the best one to use? Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Dr. Gundry - I thanku so very much for all ur hard work! I agree completely as I grew up I ate mostly the Italian diet...my uncle is Italian. None of us have or had heart problems except my stepfather who died of clogged arteries! He ate large amounts of the typical diet...I use to tell him that he's eating himself to death...unfortunately, that came true and I miss him everyday:( Thanku again. Sincerely, Karyl
