Us, too. I didn't really get into the various kinds of oils available, although I was tempted to expand the piece to address that. I think we have a small variety that we use from time to time, but it's mostly olive and coconut. I think we got some hemp from Jeff Rose @ NaturalZing recently, and we may have a few other varieties in our fridge. BTW, I also shared some of the same reactions you stated above w/ respect to clarified oils. RE: Oil & oconut … Us, too.

It's awesome to be healthier now than we were years ago. I'm still getting back to my youth, I think. I have to recognize that it took me 20 years of poor health habits to get into the shape I got myself into, so it'll likely take me several years of raw before I'm at my peak again. But, I really do feel 10x better than I did 10 years ago! So, yeah, I don't like the petty squabbles. Agreed! It's awesome to be healthier now than we were years ago.

I use oil too, mostly olive and coconut. It's been shown that on the Mediterranean diet, people are more heart healthy than in many other diets, and they eat lots of olive oil, olives, etc. as part of a healthy diet.<br><br>I don't know what the person meant by clarified oils. When we clarify olive oil, we just remove the pieces of pits and stuff, which isn't a big deal. Actually, I get a type of Lebanese olive oil that has sediments at the bottom, and I can't use all of it because of the grit. Clarifying can also mean heating at a somewhat high temperature (so, not raw) and that's definitely not good.<br><br>I don't remember reading this in the China Study though...? I liked your answer!
