Is Olive Oil Overhyped? This Study Reveals The Answer | Dr. Monica Aggarwal | The Exam Room Podcast

The truth about olive oil and your health is becoming clear.

The results of a well-designed randomized clinical trial yield the answer to a puzzling question: Is olive oil healthy?

The lead researcher, Dr. Monica Aggarwal, discusses what she calls "provocative data" gathered from the study. Would olive oil still prove to a healthy food if all participants were eating a healthy whole food, plant-based diet instead of the standard diet, which is often lower in nutrients and higher in fat?

While the study admittedly has limitations, the results unequivocally demonstrated that olive oil may not be as healthy as many believe.

Dr. Aggarwal joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll with the findings.
