I can't agree with you that it's better for you than olive oil or Omega 3 fish oil. These fats increase good cholesterol and decrease bad.
I prefer to take my information from studies vs. one doctors opinion. That's why I like the nutrition book I reference written by a Harvard professor. It's based on long term studies.

Todd, a lot of the establishment academia and long term 'studies' are heavily influenced by the food processing industry.
If you don't want to buy the book I linked, please read the intro pages free on Amazon.
I agree olive oil is outstanding and so is Omega 3, but there's more to it. Store bought fish isn't complete, as are store bought eggs, etc. They're simply over processed for profits. Not bad for you, but not near as good and they can be.
As for my cholesterol, I don't know and I'm not worried about it really. The brain is 77% cholesterol. Your body needs it and actually produces it. The body is an amazing machine.. it will self balance your pH, but if you put junk in, it has to work overtime to do that, and a constant break down and regeneration of cells is not a good thing. I try to eat clean as possible and let my body do the rest.
What did you think of that wheat video? As they say... were not in Kansas anymore.
