This document discusses the harms of consuming dietary oils and fats. It provides facts showing that while some oils contain less saturated fat than others, all oils contain saturated fat and will raise cholesterol levels. Studies are cited showing oils can harm digestion, increase cancer risks, and negatively impact heart health. The McDougall diet program is highlighted as it excludes all oils and animal products in favor of a diet based on starches, vegetables, and fruits.
3. FAT & OIL FACTS
ALL Oils are Liquid,
and contain
Saturated Fat
4. FAT & OIL FACTS
All Oils are 100% Fat
Oils are Liquid Fat
5. FAT & OIL FACTS
Although many People believe that adding
Olive Oil or Safflower Oil to their Food will
Lower their Cholesterol Levels, this is,
unfortunately, simply
NOT TRUE
6. FAT & OIL FACTS
Adding ANY Oil to Your Food will Raise
Your Cholesterol Level
The reason for This is Simple. While some
Oils are Higher in Saturated Fat than
others, ALL Oils contain some
Saturated Fat
(See the bottle label)
7. FAT & OIL FACTS
So, the more
Oil You Eat,
the more
Saturated Fat
You consume
8. FAT & OIL FACTS
Olive Oil, for example, contains 1.0 grams
of Saturated Fat per Tablespoon, that’s
about 14% Saturated Fat.
So, if you add OLIVE OIL to your Food,
you are adding Saturated Fat to your Food
– and the more you add, the more Your
Cholesterol Level will Increase.
9. FAT-FREE (OIL FREE) Diet
Helps Prevent and Reverse
Heart Disease

Dr. Esselstyn convincingly
argues that a Plant-Based
OIL-FREE diet cannot only
Help Prevent and Stop the
Progression of Heart
Disease, but also REVERSE
its Effects.”

Absorbs nutrients &
eliminates wastes
through holes in the
cell membrane
Oils clog holes in cell

12. Program for Reversing Diabetes
No More Diabetes –
16 days, 3 weeks, 3 months
(average)
After a Change in Diet – People No
longer Needed Diabetes Medications
Eyesight was Restored
The Body was like it Never had Diabetes
13. Digestion & Free Fat
The digestion of starches
(via amylase)
is begun in the mouth.
Then, when the food moves to the
stomach, digestion of proteins occurs.
When the food moves to the small intestine, fat
digestion occurs.
14. Digestion & Free Fat
Oil and water do not mix
The digestive juices in the stomach are
water-based
If free fat has been in the food eaten, the
free fat (without the protective protein
shealths) has coated the food particles
that are now in the stomach.
15. Digestion & Free Fat
The water-based digestive juices have great
difficulty trying to penetrate through the fat
coating on the food particles.
As a consequence, the protein molecules are not
properly digested and large protein molecules
are passed through to the small intestine.
Protein is not digested in the small intestine
16. Digestion & Free Fat
In the small intestine, bile is introduced
from the gallbladder in response to the
presence of fats.
The purpose of bile is to break the fat
down into small enough globules so that
the lipase introduced from the pancreas
can digest the fat.
17. Medical Studies Show . . .
Dietary fats cause lipid-induced damage of
the gastrointestinal epithelium (intestinal
wall)
and thereby increase the permeability
(create leaky gut),
permitting large proteins, bacteria,
viruses, and toxins to cross through the
gut wall and into the blood stream.

18. FAT & OIL FACTS
The biological clock regulates the
expression and/or activity of enzymes and
hormones involved in metabolism,
and disturbance of the clock can lead to
such phenomena as hormone imbalance,
obesity, psychological and sleep disorders
and cancer.
19. FAT & OIL FACTS
Dr. Oren Froy and his colleagues of the
Institute of Biochemistry, Food Science
and Nutrition at the Hebrew University’s
Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture,
Food and Environment in Rehovot, have
demonstrated in their experiments with
laboratory mice that there is a cause-
and-effect relation between diet and
biological clock imbalance.

22. Study on Dietary Fat &
Breast Cancer
The geographical variations in the incidence of
breast cancer seem to be correlated with
variation in the fat content of the diet
We have already postulated that gut bacteria
can produce estrogens from the biliary steroids
present in the colon.
Gut bacteria have been shown to be able to
produce steroidal estrogens from bile-acids and
cholesterol derivatives in vitro.
23. Study on Dietary Fat &
Breast Cancer
Since the amount of biliary steroid found
in feces is correlated with the amount of
fat in the diet, this could explain the
relation between the amount of dietary fat
and the incidence of breast cancer.

24. Dietary Coconut Oil
Is 92% saturated fat
It is unusually rich in short and medium
chain fatty acids, like lauric and capric
acid.
Most commonly it has been used as
cooking oil and in baking.
25. Dietary Coconut Oil
Even though coconut oil is high in
saturated fat, populations consuming large
quantities of coconut products (such as in
the Philippines), have low rates of heart
disease—but this is likely due to their
overall diet—with a very low consumption
of meats (cholesterol) and processed
foods and high intakes of rice and
vegetables—rather than the coconut.
26. Dietary Coconut Oil
A Journal of Nutrition study tested the
effects of corn oil vs. coconut oil vs.
cholesterol vs. coconut oil & cholesterol in
regards to hypertension and heart effects.
The study was conducted by the Dept. of
Human Nutrition and Food Management at
Ohio State University.
27. Dietary Coconut Oil
No rats in the treatment group developed
hypertension.
However, those fed a diet using coconut
oil had borderline hypertensive systolic
blood pressures.
28. Dietary Coconut Oil
Copper is an essential trace mineral that
has profound influence on heart problems.
The researchers tested the rats using diets
both with sufficient copper and using diets
deficient in copper to see if a deficiency
made a difference when consuming oils.
29. Dietary Coconut Oil
Coconut oil-fed rats had the highest
systemic blood pressure of the rats fed the
diets adequate in copper.
Coconut oil-fed rats had higher blood
pressures than corn oil-fed rats.
30. Dietary Coconut Oil
Rats fed the copper deficient diet with
coconut oil had enlarged hearts.
Hearts in rats fed diets with coconut oil +
cholesterol were both enlarged and
showed evidence of heart failure.
31. Dietary Coconut Oil
Rats fed the copper deficient diet and
coconut oil had increased ventricle wall
thickness of the heart. (The ventricles are
what pump the blood to the body.0
At the end of wk 4 of the study, subjective
evaluation of rats fed the copper deficient
diet with coconut oil + cholesterol led to
concern for survival of this group.
32. Coconut Oil Study in Humans
Researchers had volunteers eat two
separate meals, one month apart.
One meal was high in saturated fat
(coconut oil), and one meal was high in
polyunsaturated fat (safflower oil).
33. Human Coconut Oil Study Results
Within three hours of eating the meal high
in saturated fat (i.e. coconut oil),
measurements showed that the ability of
the arteries to dilate normally was
significantly reduced.
In addition, the investigators found that
within six hours of eating the meal high in
saturated fat, the protective effects of
HDL cholesterol were reduced.
34. Human Coconut Oil Study Results
Specifically, after the high-saturated-fat
meal, substances that cause inflammation
were increased in the walls of the arteries
- an effect that is normally blocked by HDL
cholesterol.
The polyunsaturated fat did not block the
effects of HDL.

35. Dietary Coconut Oil
CONCLUSION:
If you decide to include this high fat food
in your diet; then realize that coconut is
very rich, packed with calories and fats.
Use the whole food form (i.e. coconut, not
coconut oil) and then sparingly
36. Fat & Oil Facts
Oils and fats constitute
about 40%
of the typical American caloric
intake.
37. Fat & Oil Facts
It is said that 50% of all American meals
result in indigestion
For this heavy indulgence
Americans pay dearly.
Indigestion is an American institution.
38. Fat & Oil Facts
Disease producing effects are epidemic.
It is said that 50% of all American meals
result in indigestion.
Antacids are a multi-billion dollar business.
At the door of oils and fats can be placed
much of the blame.
39. Fat & Oil Facts
All the fats needed in the human system
are self-created from the raw materials
furnished by carbohydrate foods just as
cattle make their fats from a grass diet.
40. Fat & Oil Facts
One of the chief complaints of many
who eat sugar and wheat products is
that it turns into unwanted fat, thus
indicating how efficiently our organisms
convert carbohydrates to the oils and
fats we need.
41. Fat & Oil Facts
From nuts and seeds we can obtain the
linoleic and linolenic acids that we need.
But if nuts, seeds and avocadoes
constitute a mere 1 1/2% to 2% of our
diet, that is ample.
42. Fat & Oil Facts
When free oils and fats are eaten with
other foods such as starches they coat the
food particles such that little or no
digestion results, but indigestion does!
By the time the oils or fats surrounding
the other food particles are digested, the
starches and sugars have fermented and
are food for bacteria instead of us.
43. Fat & Oil Facts
When you cook with oil, be it frying foods
or using oil or fat to sauté in, the heat of
cooking converts some of the fats or oils
to acroleic acid (or it has become acrolein)
which is deadly poisonous and
carcinogenic in humans. The heat also
makes fats rancid.
44. Afraid You Won’t get Enough Fat in
Your Diet?
Food % of Fat (by Calories)
Fruits (Apple) 3
Vegetables (Spinach) 15
Mother’s milk 55
Avocados 77
Seeds (Sesame) 70
Coconut (mature) 79
Nuts (Hazelnuts) 81
45. Thus, if you eat an avocado with a
salad, your oil is sufficient for the day
has run out.
If you eat two to four ounces of nuts
or seeds with a salad, your oil is
sufficient has expired, not only for the
meal, but for the day.
46. McDougall Program
“A diet of plant foods, including whole
grains and whole grain products (such as
pasta, tortillas, and whole-grain bread), a
wide assortment of vegetables, and fruit.”
47. McDougall Program
Exercise as simple as a daily walk
“The exclusion of animal foods, including
red meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs,
and fish – all of which provide toxic levels
of fat, cholesterol, protein and, very often,
infectious agents and harmful chemicals.”
48. McDougall Program
“The exclusion of ALL oils, including olive
oil, safflower oil and corn oil.”
“Oils, which are nothing more than liquid
fat, increase body fat stores (obesity),
depress immune function, and contribute
to most common chronic diseases.”
