Many individuals may find this message challenging to accept: the absence of oil. Olive oil, in particular, has been marketed as a healthy food and a means of preventing heart disease.

Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., MD, from the Cleveland Clinic, contends that olive oil, as well as any other type of oil, can actually contribute to heart disease in a manner similar to butter.

Dr. Esselstyn has demonstrated that heart disease can be completely reversed by adopting a plant-based diet. If your goal is to reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, it’s advisable to eliminate all oils, as they are essentially highly processed (or in other words, unhealthy) foods.
