Summary
Is olive oil unhealthy? A new study analyzes whole food, plant-based diets with and without olive oil and how they affect the heart and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Dr. Neal Barnard goes inside the study and surprising findings when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live.
Previous research has shown that a healthy diet that includes extra-virgin olive oil is beneficial, but the crossover trial in this study begs the question: Are you better off without it?
Topics Discussed
- Olive oil effects on cholesterol
- Heart health risk factors with and without oil
- Comparing the new findings with previous research on olive oil
- Comparing health factors of olive and other oils
- How to cook without oil
- And more
This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the exam room. They brought in 40 people and they gave them a really |
| 0:07.1 | really good test. This is Monica Agarwal and her team at the University of Florida |
| 0:11.2 | there. They did a great job and everybody got both diets and one was a vegan diet, plant-based diet. |
| 0:19.0 | And the other was the same plant-based diet plus a little bit of olive oil, four |
| 0:25.3 | tablespoons to be exact. And the question was which one lowers cholesterol |
| 0:30.3 | more effectively? Will adding that extra olive oil help with the cholesterol loing part or will it get in the way? Welcome to the exam room podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee. |
| 0:46.4 | Hi, I am the Weight Loss Champion Chuck Carroll, raising health IQs, |
| 0:50.3 | coast to coast and around the world. |

| 1:02.1 | to make the world a healthier place. |

| 1:12.1 | Olive Oil, you wouldn't think that something so ordinary, |
| 1:16.0 | something that's found in millions of kitchens around the world could be so controversial. |
| 1:22.0 | But whether you drizzle it on your salad or use it to |
| 1:25.5 | fry potatoes, opinions run as hot as any political showdown. In one corner you |
| 1:32.1 | have a camp that says that olive oil stands alone as the |
| 1:35.5 | healthiest of all oils and the nutrients in there could even be the key to a |
| 1:40.4 | longer life. But then in the other corner this other camp says that all of those |
| 1:45.8 | health benefits they're overrated and the oil is nothing more than a cleverly |
| 1:51.4 | disguised fat bomb. |
