I’m went vegan last year because of your videos. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2015. Since going vegan I have been able to stop my UC meds and have continued to be symptom free... yay!! Also my grocery budget is about half the cost now. Keep making these videos, your reach and influence are helping so many people.

I put this video off for a really long time (like a year?!) because this is something that vegans CLEARLY don't want to hear. But at the end of the day, as someone who is studying public health, it is clear that it is more ethical to share the information and let people decide. Also I am sorry that it because so long, I just had to address every point.

Olive oil and coconut oils are the least processed and are fine, as long as you do not eat it with refined or high glycemic foods (mostly Sugars and flour based foods, and well as starchy vegetables). For instance, the Greeks have been using olive oils for what, like thousands of year, and had relatively little problems with health related disease. Only recently that has changed there, due to poor eating and smoking. Look at the links I posted in a thread above. Its eating it with the wrong foods that promotes disease.

Refined sugar doesn't have fiber or micronutrients, but it's not nearly as unhealthful as oil. People have reversed heart disease, diabetes, and life threatening hypertension (before medications for it existed) while eating all the sugar they wanted to on the rice diet. I doubt the same results would have occurred if they ate all the oil they wanted.

@abbreviatedalex2418 5 лет назад

Ex Life "Live a little" in a culture that makes access to unhealthy foods easier than access to healthy foods, and disincentivizes regular physical activity has caused 2/3 of Americans to be overweight or obese. "Live a little" in a culture where healthy plant-based eating and regular physical activity is the norm would not lead to the same results.

@abiainley9137 5 лет назад

@@abbreviatedalex2418 I don't think they mean that kind of live a little lol. I agree that you should strive to be as healthy as possible 90+% of the time but damn some things are just nice to have once in a while and if you can keep it at once in a while then you're good

@abbreviatedalex2418 5 лет назад

Abi, I was responding to Ex Life above me. Ex Life said that the attitude of "live a little" is what has caused the obesity epidemic in the USA. My point was that our unhealthy cultural norms set a very low baseline for health, and "live a little" always expresses a choice in relation to cultural norms. If your normal choices are unhealthy, "live a little" piles on very unhealthy choices into an already unhealthy lifestyle that's reinforced by cultural norms. But if your normal choices are relatively healthy, "live a little" may mean a slightly unhealthy choice in the moment but won't affect your health in the long term. If our culture incentivized healthy choices, "live a little" would not have nearly the same effect on health demographics that it currently does.

@JohnMoseley 5 лет назад

I was resistant to this idea when I first heard it in a John McDougall video, but I did some experiments anyway: mashed potato without butter or olive oil, then tomato sauce for pasta the same way. I didn't miss the fats and in fact I actively preferred the pasta sauce without. Contrary to the myth that fat's a flavour-enhancer, without it, I could really taste the tomato and garlic. Much nicer. So the upshot is, this was actually the first thing I gave up, while still figuring it would be OK to have a bit of meat and cheese, while being mainly plant-based. I'm so glad I did. The oil had been coming up on my nose and forehead as what looked like psoriasis and that unpleasant condition went away. My heart feels better. Other benefits too personal to go into. It's sort of the dangling thread that's unravelled my eating habits to the point where all I really want now is plant whole foods. The rest doesn't really feel like food at all anymore. Thanks for the vids, Mic. Very helpful in this process.

@@Aura-py8qc Hmm, interesting information indeed. Thank you very much. I myself was vegetarian from 2019 to 2020 and just 2 weeks ago I turned vegan. (Oil free as of yesterday). The 2 weeks I have been vegan, I feel like I have noticed an amount of improvement associated with learning, i.e concentration, absorption of information and speed of recalling certain memories and information. I've had no visual skin change, but my skin has always been fine. (If not at little dry here and there). I'm a bodybuilder and have noticed no difference in terms of muscle mass or fat gain last 2 weeks, but I FEEL stronger. I put on my most amount of muscle in the year I was vegetarian and expect the same great results from the vegan diet. Only issue is that I'm really, really hungry. I've always eaten for 3, which was a problem on my meat diet over a year ago in terms of fat gain, but not on the vegetarian diet and especially not on my oil free vegan diet. I compensate by eating the most filling thing I know, which is Oatmeal. Do you have any tips on sating my hunger?

Mic, great and really helpful information. Adding to the conversation- that reiterating and hammering the distinction between oil and healthy fats- which I know you touch on- is helpful and bares repeating and exploring. I am newer to your channel in terms of really taking in a lot of your information and the oil issue has definitely ignited some resistance in me, but I’m listening. I think that’s countered by the fact that healthy fats do exist in abundance and how do we leverage the benefits of those in a number of different creative and tasty ways..

@HeavyInstinct 6 лет назад

Boogieforme Yes there were people saying that we need oil in our diet to be healthy. The mistake they were making is the same one you're making in your reply here. They were substituting the word oil for the word fat. We do need fat in our diet for a number of reasons including the one you mention here. There are certain nutrients that are known as fat soluble (not oil-soluble) nutrients. Even though oil is 100% fat it's not exactly the same thing. Fat is a nutrient that exists within food. Oil is a refined PRODUCT where the fat in that food has been mechanically separated from it. And that is what makes it so dangerous. Our bodies would never be able to separate the fat in this way through simple mastication of fatty food. So yes we all benefit from adding some fat to our salads for example. However studies have shown that you get the same benefit of nutrient uptake from adding some nuts or seeds just as much as you would from adding oil. The difference is the nuts and seeds will not have the same negative effect on our arterial function. From reading the comments under Mic's videos as well as others on this subject, it's obvious there are a lot of people that don't understand this distinction.

Mic, you are the best. I have shared your work with hundreds of my clients. You make the teaching aspect of my work much easier. Also, when you tour, I want to help with your Florida travels. My new local group called “Vegan Village” is growing quickly without effort. You are on point.

You are so good; great presentation full of fact and humor. Man, it's tough avoiding oil on the road--and I'm always on the road. But I eat a lot of salad and fruit, so maybe if I keep that up the oil's deleterious effect will be less. Here's hoping.

Pls be careful eating out. Those seemingly healthy veg dishes are loaded with hidden PUFAs a lot to enhance the taste-bud stimulating quality. Virtually impossible to escape from the ubiquitous veg oils in restaurants.

Can we all agree that this makes sense and that if we want to occasionally treat ourselves to fries or ice cream, just do it (sparingly or often) without denial?

@TheOnlyFairee 6 лет назад

@papparocket 6 лет назад

My problem is that I haven't eaten refined oil in so long that if I eat deep fried french fries they taste so greasy that I feel like I am just taking swigs off of the bottle of oil. But that is OK, oven roasted fries with rosemary and zero oil taste so much better. Now if we could just convince restaurants to try this the world would be a healthier place. I also used to enjoy coconut milk ice cream, but it now tastes too fatty, and so I have switched to almond milk ice cream for the rare times that I eat "ice cream". And even that is likely on the way out. We just got a machine called a Yonana that turns a frozen banana into soft serve ice cream. No other ingredients. And if you add some other frozen fruit as it grinds up the banana you can and blueberry, strawberry, mango ice cream that is 100% whole fruit. A food processor will work to make the type of "nice cream", but I find the results are little more gummy than the Yonana produces.

I disagree. No way will I just do a little of anything that is not vegan. Why bother even trying to be a vegan if u want to indulge in crap that you know dang good and well is contributing to not only life long cruelty, pain and death of baby animals, and the major cause of pollution from factory farms on earth? Why do you need a treat from those that suffer so much? Why are u celebrating while they are suffering? Your "just a little when no one is looking" attitude is so hypocritical. The cows must be stolen from their momma's after getting a quick swig of the colostrum and the milk intended for the use of their bodies is the highlight of your happiness? Also, french vanilla has eggs, so u must enjoy seeing the male baby chicks getting ground up, alive-just for your little sneaky treat? Go ahead and turn your blind eye to the suffering animals, but as for me...no thank u!

All those studies with oils showing that it impacts your arteries is nice, but did anyone actually test this with nuts/ seeds/ avocado's as well? Maybe those foods have the same effect? Would be nice to know so we can have an honest comparison. Anyone knows studies that tested this? (I would really like to know) --> Triglycerides in the blood after eating a meal with an avocado or after eating nuts or something similar. --> Artery function after eating a meal with an avocado or after eating nuts or something similar.

Asking the right questions

@Mercymurv 4 года назад

Not 100%, but there are various nutrients and high fiber in nuts/seeds/avocados that aren't in oils. It's confusing because they have high fat, high omega 6 often times. Maybe it's like a mango -- lots of sugar, but it doesn't matter because of the various good qualities in it vastly outweighing the negative. I was watching a video by Michael Greger where he describes how high calories trigger immune responses in us, but the fiber present feeds bacteria which produces something to turn off our immune response. It could be similar mechanics with nuts/seeds/avocados, where we see positive results because of the fiber and other phytochemicals. Hard to find specific studies like you mention. Everyone just wants to compare unhealthy diets against unhealthy diets to see what's the lesser of evils it seems.

@elizabethelias1005 4 года назад

When I gave up oil, about a 1 1/2 years ago, my hot flashes went away, my already low A1C of 5 went down to 4.7 and my cholesterol went from 198 to 184. I was eating olive oil everyday. I am going in for an annual in a couple of weeks. We'll see if my cholesterol is even lower. I've accidentally had a little oil here and there when eating out, I'm extra careful now. I think an accidental tiny amount eating out once a month won't hurt. I do a lot of cooking. Finding a chocolate without cocoa butter has been the hardest. Cocoa butter is just the extracted oil of the cocoa bean. I eat avocado everyday and a small amount of nuts.

Dr Esselstyn has proven that most nuts and nut oils are pro inflammatory and are likely to cause vascular/arterial damage. There's still a jury out on walnuts as they are loaded with omega3's as I understand it.

@lisastephenson9576 Год назад

Thank you! I stopped eating oil, salt and sugar after discovering Dr. Greger a few months ago. Previously, I ate whatever, including beef, chicken and fish with oil and butter. After reading the health benefits of going vegan and SOS, I opted for that lifestyle immediately. I'm feeling so much better now! I'm glad there are channels such as yours that take the time to point out the scientific research (including who's paying for the study), and getting the information out to us.

Thanks for providing this vital information and being willing to take the flack. It is vital that this information is put out there repeatedly because people for some reason have a hard time accepting things that they don’t like to hear. Repetition is the key to slowly turning the tide. I needed to hear this even though I have been oil free vegan for almost two years now. I get worn down and confused at times by all the misinformation. It’s easy to make a bad choice when I have tough stressful days. This helps to bolster my resolve to keep this up. Thank you.

@herman7596 6 лет назад

I have been herbivore for quite a few years now and my cholesterol is stupid low. LDL is 52, HDL is 48, triglycerides are 73, and I have about a tablespoon of walnut oil in a stir fry or salad every few days. It's good and inexpensive and easy to find these days and I also use it in baking once and a while, buckwheat pancakes, etc... but I always make sure I measure it so I'm not getting too much. I also add purslane to my smoothies with flax seed and hemp seed and pumpkin seed for iron, protein, fiber, and healthy fats. I guess if my cholesterol was to change I would cut back but since it's so good I figure I can afford a little once and a while. Also put some dark chocolate chips on my steel cut oats in the morning every couple of days, about 1 tablespoon. Nothing wrong with a little fun once and a while if your numbers are good, but if they start to take a turn then change things up and cut back. All my other bios are rediculous too and I never have any inflammation so I feel like being bad once and a while as long as it's not too much is okay. Great video though Mic, I think it helps people to know that even if they are plant based they can still screw things up if they aren't careful. Keep up the good work. And, if you haven't seen Eating You Alive yet, check it out. It's very helpful, especially to someone starting out on this venture of health and truth.

@VillainMcKillin 6 лет назад

I feel that oil is added to things out of habit more than necessity. I cook for a living and there are ton of applications that don’t require oil but is used in the cooking process for utility reasons rather than health reasons (food sticking). The awesome thing about being human is you can eat whatever you want. Posting a video about oil being bad just means that now you don’t get to eat fries and be ignorant at the same time. Good video as always man.

I really appreciate the hard work Mike does for us. And I appreciate that he sites he sources. Thank you Mike. I've been hearing a lot of conflicting evidence about extra virgin olive oil. My confusion is probably stemming from listening to Dr. Valter Longo who is a large proponent of extra virgin olive oil and sites studies whereby people consuming over a liter of extra virgin olive oil a week are much healthier than non olive oil-consuming counterparts, essentially concluding the more extra virgin olive oil you consume the healthier you'll be. So I'm confused but likely best to play it safe and cut out all oils except your omega 3's, I take a plant-based omega 369 3 heavy blend everyday

The reason that I would imagine people have for objecting to removing oil from their diet would most likely be because they cannot imagine how to enjoy the foods that they love without oil. They need new salad dressing habits, new recipes for mayo, ways to make fries....Especially, they have to cook their own food! This is hard for some because they have not made cooking for themselves a priority. It takes time and effort and new skills as well as dedication. I agree that oil is bad for you. There are recipes and techniques to learn that will make the transition possible as well as delicious.
