No oil?

thevegankelly

I've been a vegan for six years for ethical reasons, but I choose to be a whole foods/clean eating vegan for health reasons. I've read Brendan Brazier's books (his Thrive series), and I get a lot of info about eating a healthful whole foods diet from him, but I've also read a lot of other sources and seen a lot of documentaries about nutrition. Brazier and others encourage the consumption of coconut oil (primarily) and olive oil (secondarily), and I use those oils in moderation. I don't understand why you guys (assuming most or all of the members of this group abstain from using oil, based on the group description) abstain from using oils. Can someone enlighten me?

I follow Dr. Esselstyn's advice from the FOK movie - he is also Clinton's doc as well as joined Dr. Campbell in the FOK movie who did the China Study and it had alot of info reg oil - here are 2 You Tube links for him and Dr. Klaper explaining why - it has no nutritional value, creates bloackages in the arteries, kills the endothilium lining and it is liquid fat, nothing more................both videos worth the watch - hope this helps!

The FOK video on Netflix also goes into alot further and MonteCarla might have some input as well!

Thanks for the informative links. I've seen FOK, but that was when it came out, so I guess my brain dropped the part on oil. And I need to reread the China study since it's been ages since I read that, even though it's sitting upstairs.
