    I’m went vegan last year because of your videos. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2015. Since going vegan I have been able to stop my UC meds and have continued to be symptom free... yay!! Also my grocery budget is about half the cost now. Keep making these videos, your reach and influence are helping so many people.

      Olive oil and coconut oils are the least processed and are fine, as long as you do not eat it with refined or high glycemic foods (mostly Sugars and flour based foods, and well as starchy vegetables). For instance, the Greeks have been using olive oils for what, like thousands of year, and had relatively little problems with health related disease. Only recently that has changed there, due to poor eating and smoking. Look at the links I posted in a thread above. Its eating it with the wrong foods that promotes disease.

    I was resistant to this idea when I first heard it in a John McDougall video, but I did some experiments anyway: mashed potato without butter or olive oil, then tomato sauce for pasta the same way. I didn't miss the fats and in fact I actively preferred the pasta sauce without. Contrary to the myth that fat's a flavour-enhancer, without it, I could really taste the tomato and garlic. Much nicer.
    So the upshot is, this was actually the first thing I gave up, while still figuring it would be OK to have a bit of meat and cheese, while being mainly plant-based. I'm so glad I did. The oil had been coming up on my nose and forehead as what looked like psoriasis and that unpleasant condition went away. My heart feels better. Other benefits too personal to go into. It's sort of the dangling thread that's unravelled my eating habits to the point where all I really want now is plant whole foods. The rest doesn't really feel like food at all anymore.
    Thanks for the vids, Mic. Very helpful in this process.

      Hmm, interesting information indeed. Thank you very much.
      I myself was vegetarian from 2019 to 2020 and just 2 weeks ago I turned vegan. (Oil free as of yesterday).
      The 2 weeks I have been vegan, I feel like I have noticed an amount of improvement associated with learning, i.e concentration, absorption of information and speed of recalling certain memories and information.
      I've had no visual skin change, but my skin has always been fine. (If not at little dry here and there).
      I'm a bodybuilder and have noticed no difference in terms of muscle mass or fat gain last 2 weeks, but I FEEL stronger. I put on my most amount of muscle in the year I was vegetarian and expect the same great results from the vegan diet.
      Only issue is that I'm really, really hungry. I've always eaten for 3, which was a problem on my meat diet over a year ago in terms of fat gain, but not on the vegetarian diet and especially not on my oil free vegan diet. I compensate by eating the most filling thing I know, which is Oatmeal.
      Do you have any tips on sating my hunger?

      Abi, I was responding to Ex Life above me. Ex Life said that the attitude of "live a little" is what has caused the obesity epidemic in the USA. My point was that our unhealthy cultural norms set a very low baseline for health, and "live a little" always expresses a choice in relation to cultural norms. If your normal choices are unhealthy, "live a little" piles on very unhealthy choices into an already unhealthy lifestyle that's reinforced by cultural norms. But if your normal choices are relatively healthy, "live a little" may mean a slightly unhealthy choice in the moment but won't affect your health in the long term. If our culture incentivized healthy choices, "live a little" would not have nearly the same effect on health demographics that it currently does.

    Mic, great and really helpful information.

I am newer to your channel in terms of really taking in a lot of your information and the oil issue has definitely ignited some resistance in me, but I’m listening. I think that’s countered by the fact that healthy fats do exist in abundance and how do we leverage the benefits of those in a number of different creative and tasty ways..

      Not 100%, but there are various nutrients and high fiber in nuts/seeds/avocados that aren't in oils. It's confusing because they have high fat, high omega 6 often times. Maybe it's like a mango -- lots of sugar, but it doesn't matter because of the various good qualities in it vastly outweighing the negative.
      I was watching a video by Michael Greger where he describes how high calories trigger immune responses in us, but the fiber present feeds bacteria which produces something to turn off our immune response. It could be similar mechanics with nuts/seeds/avocados, where we see positive results because of the fiber and other phytochemicals.
      Hard to find specific studies like you mention. Everyone just wants to compare unhealthy diets against unhealthy diets to see what's the lesser of evils it seems.

I am going in for an annual in a couple of weeks. We'll see if my cholesterol is even lower. I've accidentally had a little oil here and there when eating out, I'm extra careful now. I think an accidental tiny amount eating out once a month won't hurt. I do a lot of cooking. Finding a chocolate without cocoa butter has been the hardest. Cocoa butter is just the extracted oil of the cocoa bean.

    I have been herbivore for quite a few years now and my cholesterol is stupid low. LDL is 52, HDL is 48, triglycerides are 73, and I have about a tablespoon of walnut oil in a stir fry or salad every few days. It's good and inexpensive and easy to find these days and I also use it in baking once and a while, buckwheat pancakes, etc... but I always make sure I measure it so I'm not getting too much. I also add purslane to my smoothies with flax seed and hemp seed and pumpkin seed for iron, protein, fiber, and healthy fats. I guess if my cholesterol was to change I would cut back but since it's so good I figure I can afford a little once and a while. Also put some dark chocolate chips on my steel cut oats in the morning every couple of days, about 1 tablespoon. Nothing wrong with a little fun once and a while if your numbers are good, but if they start to take a turn then change things up and cut back. All my other bios are rediculous too and I never have any inflammation so I feel like being bad once and a while as long as it's not too much is okay. Great video though Mic, I think it helps people to know that even if they are plant based they can still screw things up if they aren't careful. Keep up the good work. And, if you haven't seen Eating You Alive yet, check it out. It's very helpful, especially to someone starting out on this venture of health and truth.

      @HeavyInstinct Před 6 lety +11

      Boogieforme Yes there were people saying that we need oil in our diet to be healthy. The mistake they were making is the same one you're making in your reply here. They were substituting the word oil for the word fat.
      We do need fat in our diet for a number of reasons including the one you mention here. There are certain nutrients that are known as fat soluble (not oil-soluble) nutrients. Even though oil is 100% fat it's not exactly the same thing. Fat is a nutrient that exists within food. Oil is a refined PRODUCT where the fat in that food has been mechanically separated from it. And that is what makes it so dangerous. Our bodies would never be able to separate the fat in this way through simple mastication of fatty food.
      So yes we all benefit from adding some fat to our salads for example. However studies have shown that you get the same benefit of nutrient uptake from adding some nuts or seeds just as much as you would from adding oil. The difference is the nuts and seeds will not have the same negative effect on our arterial function.
      From reading the comments under Mic's videos as well as others on this subject, it's obvious there are a lot of people that don't understand this distinction.

But that is OK, oven roasted fries with rosemary and zero oil taste so much better. Now if we could just convince restaurants to try this the world would be a healthier place.
      I also used to enjoy coconut milk ice cream, but it now tastes too fatty, and so I have switched to almond milk ice cream for the rare times that I eat "ice cream". And even that is likely on the way out. We just got a machine called a Yonana that turns a frozen banana into soft serve ice cream. No other ingredients. And if you add some other frozen fruit as it grinds up the banana you can and blueberry, strawberry, mango ice cream that is 100% whole fruit. A food processor will work to make the type of "nice cream", but I find the results are little more gummy than the Yonana produces.

      Similar story. I can tell when I've eaten anything with a fair bit of oil by how my brain feels.

    My husband's grandfather is 88, has a pace maker that kicks in 30% - 35% of the time, as well as angina. He eats a traditional Filipino diet with lots of oil, fried foods, but in recent years a bit less meat than before. Still. Always frying everything in loads of oil and then saving the oil to be used to fry more stuff later. D:
    Hubbie's mother says that maybe his daily dog walks are causing the heart issues, and I'm like wtf!? That's the best thing he's doing for his heart at this point.. it's the animal products and loafs of oil. :-/ Oh, and he deals with bouts of gout several times throughout the year, so yeah.

    Hey Mic, well done. Oils, even raw oils, according to those studied you show are not good for us, the problem is that they are tasty and is difficult for us to give up. Keep the good work and greetings from Spain!

      I don’t recommend eating coconut 🥥 oils but my girlfriend uses it in her makeup and I borrowed some because I had dry cracked hands from work and it’s very good for skin repair. This is just my experience no science to back it up but it’s not going to hurt putting it on you then in you 😉🌶🌶

    We already consume oil when we eat avocados, beans, coconut milk (it's commom and cheap in average stores here in Brazil), olives, etc. We don't need to put extracted oils in our food. And nowadays is perfectly possible to get french fries without oil, using these fry machines we see on tv.

    I eat natural nut butters that have the oil floating on top. Does that still count as oil consumption? Or does it not because I am eating it with the nut butter (and probably an apple too)?

    Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of both yourself AND Unnatural Vegan. I think it's amazing how both of you are willing to talk about facts over fads, even if you firmly disagree on a lot of topics. I think the problem is that modern day science has given us a false sense of grip on life and sometimes facts just aren't as simple, so it's important to be willing to bounce ideas around to establish where the firmest, safest presumption lies.

    I really appreciate the hard work Mike does for us. And I appreciate that he sites he sources. Thank you Mike. I've been hearing a lot of conflicting evidence about extra virgin olive oil. My confusion is probably stemming from listening to Dr. Valter Longo who is a large proponent of extra virgin olive oil and sites studies whereby people consuming over a liter of extra virgin olive oil a week are much healthier than non olive oil-consuming counterparts, essentially concluding the more extra virgin olive oil you consume the healthier you'll be. So I'm confused but likely best to play it safe and cut out all oils except your omega 3's, I take a plant-based omega 369 3 heavy blend everyday
