In this video I’ve found in Youtube the author say:
Many people believe that the olive oil in the Mediterranean Diet is part of what makes it healthy. Wrong! The diet is healthier than the standard American diet because it contains more fruits and vegetables, period. Substituting olive oil for the fats found in most American diets is healthier, but if your object is to avoid heart disease, avoid olive oil.
I’ve never heard something more stupid in my all life…Everybody know that the Med diet has an higher calories intake in respect to the other diets.
This higher calorie is due to the presence of Olive oil. It’s made for 100% by fat. But it’s not “bad” fat…it’s a vegetable fat called:”monounsaturated”
Olive oil has a lot of benefits:
- Lower blood cholesterol
- Helps people suffering from constipation
- It’s a source of natural antioxidants (called polyphenols) which help to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer
- Helps your skin
