Researchers at the Minnesota Medical School have discovered that Extra Virgin Olive Oil can extend your life by activating an anti-aging pathway in your body. This may be the key reason the Mediterranean diet works so well in life extension and reduction of diseases. Two of the five "Blue Zones" where people live the longest are located in the Mediterranean, where Olive Oil is a staple of the diet. Olive Oil is as effective if not more so than Resveratrol, which is found in red grapes.

For Olive Oil to be effective, it must be:

  • Organic Extra Virgin
  • Unheated (heating destroys the properties)
  • Combined with Exercise and Fasting -or- Calorie Restriction

Importance of Exercise and Calorie Restriction

Olive Oil, like other fats, gets stored in microscopic lipid droplets in your body. When the fat is broken down during exercising or fasting, these healthy fats get activated. So the only way to achieve maximum benefit of consuming Olive Oil is in conjunction with exercise and calorie restriction.

Olive Oil Anti-Cancer Properties

Olive oil is also an effective cancer preventative and can be an effective means to target and kill drug resistant cancer stem cells. Read about it here:

It's rarely olive oil but is usually cut with mostly soy and other vegetable oils. I've sourced this here multiple times.

It's very simple - buy the California olive oils not the imported olive oils.

This is true. I have tried real olive oil, it tastes NOTHING like the store stuff. It's expensive and tastes a bit like fresh cut grass.

I remember hearing about many olive oils not being legit. The Italian mafia had a hand in this scam I believe.

[–] • 1 pt

There is a kind of documentary on this topic on youtube. The one I saw had a distributor of olive oil complaining that he cannot sell the real stuff primarily because the olive oil on the shelves is cut with vegetable oil and normal people think that is real olive oil.

The other reason was price, the real stuff is expensive in North America.

What I find weird is that if you go to medeterranian countries, a lot of families have their own groves and have the real stuff made by them selves and the extra is sold super cheap. It's really odd why a tiny bottle of the real stuff (certified) costs like $25 bucks.

It was wroth trying it, but I didn't like it very much.

It's not just the mafia, many unscrupulous producers will cut it to maximize their profit. You have to know where you buy from. The bottled product you can buy from a supermarket store is often found to be cut and they are legal consequences for the sellers. You hear such news all the time in Greece, so I guess it's much worse with the stuff that ends up in other markets.

Yes, many Oils are frauds. Gotta chose wisely....

I read and experimented with several olive oils. If you place it in your fridge overnite it should resemble cooled melted butter. You know liquid with a bit of a crust. I found what I was buying was shit,and expensive. California brand was the best so far.

Villa Cappelli is 100%.. and is expensive

Only stuff I cook with. Thanks for this

Thanks! Remember to get the anti-aging properties, it must be unheated. Add it to your salads and top off your already cooked foods.

It's hard to get quality Olive oil. The market is filled with garbage. Do you know of a trusted brand?

What do you think about cooking with coconut oil.

Check these lists of the good Olive Oils. I like the cooc.com ones, that taste of a peppery finish in the back of the throat, even for the more buttery ones.

Bragg's Olive Oil is great.

I share your concerns about the quality. I too am looking for sources of high-quality brands. I tend to choose those sourced from N. Cal or Spain or Italy.

Have you tried avacado oil? Great for cooking and doesn't go rancid as quickly.

I exclusively cook with avocado oil indoors. Higher smoke point. Hopefully its healthy?

[–] • 0 pt

Not yet. I tend to cook with a mix of second press olive oil + EVOO. I finish with EVOO to get the health benefits.

I will definitely try the Avocado oil!

>Only stuff I cook with.

Olive oil isn't intended to be fried though

[–] • 2 pts

I use it as a loose term. I make cowboy caviar and still say cooking despite no stove involved

[–] • 1 pt

Correct about EVOO. In Italy they use it as a finishing oil in order to get the health benefits. ;)

[–] • 0 pt

It's healthier than other oils for this purpose. If you live somewhere where you can buy it in bulk, you can certainly afford to use it to heat the pan.

[–] • 0 pt

Just because it's healthier than palm oil doesn't make it fit for frying a steak in a pan

When you heat olive oil to its smoke point all the beneficial compounds in it start to degrade. Needless to mention that unhealthy compounds start to form

It's bordering on heresy to use it to fry things

[–] • 0 pt

that's what the veggy oil industry told us.. You have to research where this bullshit is from.

[–] • 3 pts

No, I'm talking from experience here kid, you obviously never tried to fry a steak in a frying pan with olive oil

[–] • 3 pts

Avocado oil is pretty good too. I take a shot of both every day.

My wife Mary always uses extra virgin olive oil...As you know, in Italy it's hard to find something extra virgin, let alone virgin.

Before any trial and crucifiction, we enjoy a hearty meal, cooked using Olive Oil. Only False prophets use vegetable oil.

Barabbas knows. Next time you're in the Suk, look for the Oil endorsed by J.C. himself, Oilve oil, give it three days, and your spirit will be alive and kicking once more!

I also only use extra virgin olive oil for cooking.

It's expensive, so the trick is to watch for when it goes on sale, and buy it in quantity at that time.

Make sure it says extra virgin on the label.

Don't even touch the other stuff.

[–] • 0 pt

extra virgin .. thats a marketing ploy.. its total bullshit. your using rapeseed oil

[–] • 2 pts

Good luck finding any true pure olive oil. America allows 50% to be rapeseed oil mixed in

[–] • 1 pt

What brands are good? Also do they indicate in the label if it has other oils mixed in? What if you buy the Italian stuff from the speciality market?

[–] • 2 pts

Your doctor will hate this trick.

Btw, don't cook with it. Use butter for frying. Butter or coconut. Olive oil just as it is.

All oils are inflammatory and toxic. Olive oil is cheap, profitable, and another of these bullshit "superfoods" marketed by people trying to make a buck. Same with cod liver oil but generally plant oils have a terrible nutrient profile.

Source your olive oil domestically (if in The States) to ensure you're not getting the euro tossed off industrial lube. Look for the COOC (California Olive Oil Council) certification seal.

I add a tablespoon of it to my coffee every morning. Not sure if it's too much heat, but it helps keep me full until lunch. I also add a tablespoon of grass fed butter to it too.

[–] • 0 pt

I've heard a lot of weird things added to coffee, like cheese, but oil sounds terrible. I'll have to test it.

The oldest woman in history rubbed olive oil on her skin every day and made it 122 years. She was also a smoker that drank wine and ate chocolate in excess amounts.
