Feb 27, 2008 BANG FOR THE BITE If 10,000 SF Biters buy a 750mL bottle of organic olive oil rather than a nonorganic one, we'll save the weight of just over one bar of gold in pesticides. COCKTAIL FACTOID Olive-oil wrestling is the national sport of Turkey. LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . .The Day-Old Bread Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip?(5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 Wanna eat more rich food? The Bite Cash on in with tasty, golden olive oil. Its " good " fats make it ideal for cooking, and with organic versions, prospects for a healthier planet are golden. The Benefits A health goldmine. Olive oil's Omega-3 and Omega-9 fatty acids are known for their skin-beautifying benefits - and 2 tbsp of olive oil each day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Safety to bank on. Pesticides are fat-soluble and thus concentrate in the oil portion of plants (and that includes olives). Choose organic to decrease exposure risks. It's eco and economical. A Greek study found that organic olive groves cause fewer CO2 emissions than conventional ones and that both methods can be economically viable for farmers. Personally Speaking When she first started Ideal Bite, Heather was so busy (and, let's be honest, dead broke) that she sometimes drank olive oil straight from the bottle for dinner. Wanna Try? McEvoy Ranch Traditional Blend - made in America, it's fragrant and smooth; perfect for bread-dipping or tomato-drizzling ($20). Spectrum Naturals Moroccan Wild Harvest Olive Oil - buttery and made from hand-harvested olives; available in many health food stores. Also: more flavors ($17). Trader Joe's Spanish Olive Oil - TJ's has some great options, including this clean-tasting, full-flavored, organic Spanish olive version in a cute bottle. Find a store here ($6).

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 It was a story on the news the other day. A woman in Jerusalem (???) went to get her ID card replaced and it was discovered her birthday was listed at 1888. I guess they are trying to verify that date. Anyway, she said she drank a cup of olive oil every day. That was the only nutritional thing they mentioned, although it does not represent the whole picture, obviously. And I'm sure her olive oil is a lot healthier and purer (is that a word?) than ours is. But I thought it was interesting. Cyndi In a message dated 2/27/2008 10:00:47 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Olive oil is also damaged in cooking, like every other oil. You'd need to drink it raw in order to get any health benefits. As i said, I'm sure it didn't paint the whole picture, but it was the only thing nutritionally they pointed out. I won't be sucking down a big, old glass of olive oil any time soon, lol, but I'd love to know more about that olive oil she uses. I bet it's organic, cold pressed, and all but straight from the tree. Did you have a "big, fat Greek Wedding"? LOL. I'm sure that would be fun! Cyndi In a message dated 2/27/2008 10:29:36 A.M.

You can’t take one thing from someone’s diet and apply it to you in hopes of it overriding all the other bad things you are doing. Look at the Mediterranean diet from the 50’s that is so touted to be healthy. It comes from rural Crete where animals eat natural diet of grasses and insects. People eat those animals as well as lots of wild fish and leafy greens like spinach and dandelion greens. They worked hard and spent lots of time working in the sun. It was work to get and prepare food. My inlaws are Greek and have modified that diet to include many things which aren’t part of that diet and have serious health issues. I’m sure some of it is genes, some of it is culture (eat more no matter if it’s healthy or not because now one has to decide) and some is just environmental differences (more unhealthy choices available). If someone eats what they think is a Mediterranean diet today, how close is it really to what they were eating on Crete in the 1950’s? I’m sure they used a lot of olive oil.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Not the front yard? LOL! I like that movie so much. They've been talking about dandelion leaves on the Budwig group this week too. You can also juice them, in addition to adding them to salads. I could not eat them again. My MIL used to make a wilted dandelion salad, with a hot vinegar and bacon dressing. The last time I ate it, I was pregnant with son #2, and............well, I'm sure you can guess the rest. <insert unfortunate bodily upheavals> But I would definitely juice them to get the health benefits.
