RE: Oil-free diet fad is for idiots!
Good info!. Didn't know that "no-oil" diet is associated with veganism. Why? I do know about vegans restraining specifically from palm oil (and of course, animal derived oil) but why all other oils?
I also know many "your so-called idiots" doing well on raw food and WFPB diets too. What's your take on that?
Eating lots of whole foods or raw foods is a good idea, but calling it a diet, I also think is stupid. Once again, it gets dogmatic: people will treat anything cooked as sin.
I think some vegans are doing it for reasons which cause them to believe restriction is the key to a good diet. They restrict meat, and then dairy, and eggs, and honey, and leather, and pearls, and silk, and palm oil... and sometimes they keep looking for more things to restrict, like processing, packaging, oil, cooking, and so on.
I am vegan for the animals. To me it isn't a diet but a way of life. Cutting out oil would be terrible for my health. Maybe other people can survive with very little oil, but not this vegan!
There is study's that find all oil is bad for our heart and arteries, A whole foods plant based is oil free. I use small amounts of oil but the north American diet uses way way to much
No there's no such study, that's such a ridiculous thing to say @Skylinebuds! It shows that you don't know anything about science or nutrition. Show me the study then. How rude of you to come on my very well-researched and cited post, and say that the exact opposite is true, with absolutely nothing to back it up? Did you even read my post.
The studies I've read show that most oil is good for our circulatory system, as the post says. You can drink olive oil by the glass, for example. Only a very few types of oil (most of them not from plants) can harm us.
