Dr. Fuhrman — Value of High Fat Foods
The importance of eating nuts and seeds for health, rather than oils and why super low fat eating is not ideal, and more about essential fatty acids. Olive oil is not good for your heart! (It’s just not as bad as other fats most people eat, but it still promotes heart disease.) This is a 10-minute excerpt from one of Dr. Fuhrman’s 90-minute talks from the Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2007.

to be fair, plenty of plants are bad for us too
nature was pretty stingy to humans in terms of what we can eat and what we can’t

Or, if you really want to cut the excess fat out of your diet (and off of your body), how about NO OIL AT ALL? There are several cookbooks that show ways to cook without oil (which is, by definition, a refined/processed food… I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, I’m just mentioning it). John McDougall, in particular, has some really good substitutes for oil that can be used in most recipes.

You use whatever oil is naturally in the food you’re eating. The best oils are from nuts and seeds and veggies that contain them. Never add fat to a food that doesn’t contain it. God puts fats in the foods they belong in. He did not forget to put fats in leafy greens.
