Dr. Neal Barnard goes inside the study and surprising findings when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Live.

Previous research has shown that a healthy diet that includes extra-virgin olive oil is beneficial, but the crossover trial in this study begs the question: Are you better off without it?

Topics Discussed

  • Olive oil effects on cholesterol
  • Heart health risk factors with and without oil
  • Comparing the new findings with previous research on olive oil
  • Comparing health factors of olive and other oils
  • How to cook without oil
  • And more
