Pittsburg, Kansas | Olive oil, from what I gather from various doctors I follow, is middle of the road. It is better than vegetable oils but still not as good as saturated animal fats.
There is not universal agreement among the low carb community.
One explanation I have heard that makes some sense to me is that the oxidation is the problem, not specifically the omega 6 levels. If that is correct (again, not everyone agrees) then the olive oil would have more propensity for rancidity than animal fats. That is the theory. Take it for what it is worth. I eat my sardines packed in olive oil, but otherwise use mostly animal fats in our home cooking. | |
