Sir pls also compare Ghee because in India over 1 Billion people have Ghee at their home but they think its unhealthy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge I lost 30 pounds in less than 3 months without any weight lifting. I have photos in my Iphone with proof and u are the only reason for this great fat loss.
What foods do you eat? Is your whole family on keto? Do the groceries cost alot more? Let's say double? I find it hard to get myself a keto grocery haul and it's mostly because my family are carbnivore's. Almost every food in my house is made up of carbohydrates.
Novel idea: why don’t we prohibit companies from lying about their products and impose stiff penalties on them when they do? Consumers are lied to all the time.
@@cerulean1808 actually, if you read the new yorker article Thomas mentions.... most of the ones imported are bad, due primarily to the difficulty in verifying quality, and imposing penalties on foreign companies who's local laws don't always line up with US laws.
Or like "avocado oil mayo" that is mostly vegetable & canola with avocado in there somewhere. And for those companies that do it right, we have to pay double, triple, or quadruple the price! Americans need to be more savvy... we're getting there, it's just a slow process and so many times price trumps quality for people (myself included). Such a frustrating fact!
It won’t work. I’m a icu nurse in a trauma center and drug companies/MDs literally push how beneficial surgeon procedures or any and all pharmacologicals are but almost none of them are. Research and science is explosive not explorative. I said all that to say this: companies will lie whether it’s on the product label or on the research and they’ll back it up with the 2 in 10 favorable studies they have while they sit on the other 8. They’ll lobby and throw money at the regulatory agency to play ball and they’ll do it. From a watch to nutrition to medicine and anywhere else, that’s the evil side of capitalism. Gotta take the bad with the good and just try to keep it simple
I've run out of patience with olive oil. Now I just eat a stupefying volume of organic olives - I'm very happy with my olives. The oils I maintain at my skillet are 1) avocado ~50% of the time, then 2) Ghee, 3) coconut oil, 4) bacon fat. Then insuring a positive Omega 3 balance, supplementing with Cod Liver oil, Krill Oil and sardines & Mackerel. Down with inflammation !!
And that lard was from cows that ate grass. What the cow eats determines whether the fat is omega 3 or omega 6. Corn and soy is what factory farmed cows eat and it is killing us
Another good tip when choosing EVO is to look for additional olive oil council or association stickers from place of origin. For instance The Californian Olive Council allows its sticker on the labeling of truly EVO made in California. So look for Council/Association stickers from place of origin.
We produce extra virgin oil in the Sabina Italy, famed for its oil quality. Tasting our olive oil on the same day it's pressed won't give you a cough - don't confuse quality and flavour with freshness. Perhaps you should get out here and try the stuff :)
@J Smooth The taste depends on many things. I am from Central Spain where we have various certificate of origin oils and I once was in a olive oil tasting, and that's when I realized there's quite some difference between quality extra virgin olive oils.
I live in Spain. We use olive oil for absolutely everything: dressing, cooking, frying... really there are people who think you can't cook with it? It's perfect for cooking!
Maybe perfect for flavor but not perfect for health. I lived in Barcelona for 5 years, am Spanish by descent, and I wouldn't look to my countrymen for health advice. They're known for being heavy smokers and having a laid back attitude of "I'm here for a good time not a long time". Love Spain but their health is far from optimal.
Tian Armas! YES!!! Though I prefer to cook outdoors because of the smoke! The smoke IS proof of oxidation, however, the neat thing is that that smoke does NOT render the oil as being either oxidized or unhealthy! Rather, that smoke is much like the steaming sublimation we witness from ice! So, in the end, there isn't a biological oxygen demand. Merely a chemical oxygen demand that is only on the surface of the extra virgin olive oil. I use it to protect all my meats before cooking! Thomas has warned that your macros will be affected by your canned meats being covered by olive oils. True. But, like he often says these days it's not the end of the world. Be not afraid to improve your health by cooking thusly! Stand your ground! Continue to be a proud Spaniard! Bear in mind that Thomas DeLauer is absolutely right about everything else!
I'm lucky enough to have a colleague whose husband owns 2 olive groves on his family home in Italy. Every time she visits home she brings me back LOTS of PURELY virgin cold pressed olive oil right from the grove! It is without a doubt the BEST olive oil I have ever tasted!
I’m excited to learn more from you. I just started meal prep, meal planning, and so on so I’m i. Study mode to learn what’s best, what’s good, what’s recommended, and what’s not
I am from Spain where most people cook with olive oil. The quality of oil here might be better than there but it is said not cook with extra virgin olive oil but instead to use refined olive oil precisely because the virgin has polyphenols and other stuff that will oxidize. I don't think the refined olive oil here is already oxidized as the bottles will often list the peroxide index and other undesirable products. Sometimes the lack of throat stinging can be due to the variety, most would sting but my favorite one from Arbequina olives doesn't and has almost no bitterness either but a nutty and somewhat fruity flavor. But most of the time you are right, it should be harsh on the throat. I believe that olive oil is what lies behind Spanish longevity and definitely felt worse during a time I switched to sunflower oil due to cost (1/2 to 1/3 cheaper). Avocado oil is rare and really expensive here.
I also love how Tom sites ALL of his claims and references so we can read for ourselves. It's one of the reasons that I feel comfortable listening to and believing his advice (not that I can follow all of with my weak ass!)
I do the same thing! Crack an egg into a tall narrow container. Pour one cup of avocado oil on top of the egg. Then it's really important to use an immersion blender, to blend the two together. You can whip it by hand, but it will make more of an aioli. Either way, it's super easy, quick and way better than anything you can find at the store! 🙂
From my experience, good quality minimally processed oils need to be kept in the refrigerator or freezer if it's used sporadically. Oils will start getting rancid in a few weeks if kept in a warm place. Avocado oil seems less sensitive to heat than olive, sesame or walnut oil.
Love your Content brother :) Thomas for the Win!!! 🙏 (Loved listening to your story on the Modern Wisdom Podcast so much BTW - I recommend that talk to anyone who wants to deepen their interest in Thomas DeLauer/his brilliantly full-on life story). Respect where its due mate :) Sending you a high five from down here in Australia =) Peace.
That was good. Advocado oil has taken center stage in my kitchen. Just for the simple fact that it puts the food center stage. EVOO does not do that...
i order mine from crete greece from a friend of mine , he owns 10 acres of olive trees. ...i get it imported from greece- 10 gallons of it , takes about 6 weeks to get here in the north-east ny-nj metropolitan area
The grocery store I went to only had on kind of avocado oil to choose from. It was 14.00 a bottle to I’m guessing it’s a good one? Better variety of olive oil but it was mostly 4-7.00 a bottle.
16 minutes did an episode a few years back about how most Italian olive oil’s were fake because of the mafia.I try to buy California olive oil only, but it’s hard to find in the grocery stores.
I go to an Asian store that's cold inside and noticed some EVOO was congealed. Instinctively I bought that kind. THEN I read an article and the thesis on that problem. Remember when the USDA used to look out for us?
love to cook with avocado as tasteless and seems to be a high smoke point. I dont bother to cook with olive oil but use for salads etc. both a necessity in my kitchen
Honestly, at first, I was a little turned off by the small shirt, spiky haircut, etc.. I felt that this was going to be another one of those “You need to buy this” type of video by someone who is so different from myself. But I persevered and held on. And doing so, I was very much impressed. Thank. You.
Coconut oil is really stable and you can cook with it if that's your question. Also since it has mct in it pretty good for quick energy boost and fat burning.
@@upwindstrategy It has healthy monounsaturated fats which lowers LDL (bad cholesterol). Personally I eat avacado instead of using its oil. Use olive oil for my salad and cook with either butter or ghee. Don't use coconut oil that much but it is more about the taste
How do you feel about cooking with coconut oil? I plan to try avocado oil next. I use olive oil for salads. Who knows if I'm getting the good stuff. I will keep your tips in mind next time I buy. Thanks!
Culinarily speaking, if you are going to cook with it, don't use extra virgin olive oil (don't listen to Rachel Ray) use regular olive oil. Heating EVOO destroys the benefits that you would get so you're better off just using regular. Now if you're drizzling it on your salad or on something that you have already cooked (soups, grilled meats, etc) then yes use the EVOO. As long as it's under 200 degrees Fahrenheit, that is the critical temp.
I love how you say that extra virgin olive oil helps with fat burning. This is one of the biggest myths of pure EVOO (being a fat) Thank you for debunking that!
I'm shocked with what I've learned on this channel . Even TUNA IN olive OIL isn't in OLIVE OIL! . I'm trying to find a pure Avocado and olive oil atm . Cobram estate and Grove seem to be good brands . But I'm still sketptical lol 😆
Avocado oil has the higher smoke point vs Coconut oil. I know Avocado oil smoke point is high as 500 degrees and if I recall correctly Coconut oil is under 400.
Coconut oil the more saturated the fat the better for cooking, if your burning your food doesn't matter the oil dont burn your food. Cook on low med heat.
I am going to have to disagree with you thomas on this one. california ranch evoo is considered one of the best evoos in the world and is made in northern california. you can buy for $9.95 for 500ml. A good evoo does not have to be made in europe and over $10.00 a bottle.
Color me surprised. This is good info to know when it comes to what is actually good EV olive oil. I was/have been using the cheaper quality stuff without knowing this. I will make the adjustment.
There' a great article on Dr.Axe com nutrition olive-oil-benefits . It says high-heat cooking would create advanced glycation end products that can speed the aging process. So I use virgin coconut-oil & bone broth fat for heating. It also says real virgin olive oil would solidify in fridge.
Costco Kirkland's extra virgin olice to cook with or kirkland's grilling olive good or toxic when using them as roasting in oven or pan cooking? Great how do you not go mentally crazy looking and comparing all the options, use this not that...Ive been doing this for years but use something then find out it is toxic or bad for all or bad for one of my family. Ugh! Apologies for the rant it is just such a true struggle for me.
to know if it's true virgin olive oil let it in a cold place if it's genuine will turn into dense clearer mass inside of it with the top more liquid it will look like is changing texture and color. Actually the texture will change itself, similar to what happen with the organic honey. If you put it in a cold place and it remains unchanged is less quality. Never overheat olive oil better cook all at low fire
Studies have shown that you should buy your olive oil at Costco. Also, avocado oil is great in principle, but most of it is still over processed. If it was actually cold pressed as advertised it would be green not almost clear. Go ahead and smash a fresh avocado. What color is it?
Thomas, you are always SUCH a wealth of incredible information!! I love that I can always count on you to have thoroughly done your homework. Thank you so much for all you share with us and especially for the due diligence you put into your research that you are are so well known for. 💚⭐️
