Thanks for your clear and concise points about the health ( and cleaning) benefits of avoiding oils. I have friends who are avid olive oil fans and think I'm harming myself by cutting it out of my diet. I also love the new Prevent And Reverse Heart Disease cookbook by the Esselstyns. I see it's one of your "picks".
Good summary. There are ways to prepare food that is flavorful without the use of oil. For instance sauté vegetables in water or vegetable broth. Thanks for the video.
