Aren’t olive and coconut oils healthy for you? According to many of the plant-based physicians, the short answer is… no (Please note: no oil doesn’t mean no fat). Now for the longer answer…
WHAT OILS DO…
Oils damage your endothelial cells that line your vessel walls and they can cause oxidative stress, leading to inflammation. Here’s some points Dr. Michael Klaper makes when asked how oils create problems…
Page 4:
- “For years we thought that having oil in our diet was a key to living healthy but, indeed, it’s not”
- “That fat (from oils separated from their whole food form) leaps into your blood sugar by the tablespoons and nothing slows down its absorption. It gets into the bloodstream and coats each of your red blood cells with an envelope of fat. They start sticking together and your blood gets thicker and a sludging of blood in in the capillary beds occur, which slows down oxygen delivery to vital tissues.
- Blood pressure gets raised because it takes more pressure to force thickened blood through tiny capillaries.
When Dr. Klaper was asked if this applies to all oils…
- “All of them! Every one of them! They actually injure your artery walls, and the artery linings become inflamed and stiff.”
- “Numerous medical studies have shown this, as cited by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn in his remarkable book, Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease.”
- “All the way around, consuming oil is just destructive.”
- “No one needs isolated, processed oils, and the folks who use them may well find that their heart disease gets worse or their cancer risk goes up.”
