The Horrible Truth of Olive Oil… It Makes You Fat!!!! | Educational Video | Dr. Layne Norton PhD

Admin0 commentsUncategorized

Yea I’m playing… clickbait central here. A recent study got a lot of press when news stations ran the story that olive oil might make you fat (PMID: 40208790). The study in question did NOT use olive oil & it wasn’t in humans. In the study they fed high amounts of oleic acid (the most prevalent fatty acid in olive oil) in crazy high doses & saw that it activated LXR, which is a complex that signals the body to make more fat cells. Sounds scary huh? Of course it was in mice & in vitro human cells (ie a petri dish).

Gee if only we had studies where they fed olive oil to HUMANS & looked at what happened to their body fat levels… OH WAIT WE HAVE THOSE.

AND WHAT DO THEY SHOW? The research demonstrates that olive oil has neutral or positive effects on reducing body fat levels. PMIDs: 28808791, 39978469, & 20545561)

So what do we care more about? Mechanistic unphysiological data in mice? Or actual human outcome data?

Stay calm and keep using olive oil
