"Plant products are also generally low in fat and sodium and are free of cholesterol. Avoiding meat, dairy products, and added fats also reduces the blood’s viscosity (or “thickness”), which makes the blood easier to pump. This also brings down blood pressure."

Interviewer: I’m interested in this one, how to make salad dressings and stir-fry vegetables without olive oil?

Dr Klaper: Very important! Let me just take a minute because it is such important issue. People always ask, “what’s wrong with eating vegetable oils?” When you eat walnut, when you eat an avocado, the microdroplets of walnut oil, avocado oil, are firmly connected, firmly interspersed, and adhering to the fibers of the walnut of the fibers of the avocado. When you eat it, it takes hours for your digestive enzymes to work their way into that little piece of walnut.

For the lipase enzymes to dissolve the fats and bile to emulsify to absorb the fats, and as a result, the fats in the bloodstream go out very gradually. But you crushed the fat out of that olives, that cocoa, and you made liquid olive oil. This is liquid fat in a bottle! You pour on your food, then there is no fiber slowing down the absorption. That fat leaks into your bloodstream. It gets in your blood, it coats your red blood cells, they start getting sticky, your blood gets more viscous, blood viscosity goes up, it takes higher pleasure to force thick blood through capillary beds, the blood pressure goes up,the blood flows more slowly. You get sludge in the capillary beds that reduces oxygen delivery to important tissues.
