Olive oil burned throat and esophagus

(M) #1

I bought some food quality olive oil that’s supposed to be light and fruity and in a way it is but it burns my throat and esophagus and it lasts all day and leaves me with a bad feeling. I think I’m going to ditch it even if it is supposed to be healthy. Do you think grass fed butter can be just as healthy if your body adapts to it?

You betcha.

Not sure what brand you got of olive oil, but I’ve heard that if it’s imported from Italy, it’s basically all their trash oil. I’d buy US branded oil, like California Olive Ranch.

Umm, what are you doing, drinking it? What’s healthy about it?

Well the brand won awards at the world olive oil competition drinking competition don’t think it could be fake. Not drinking it.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #6

It’s also possible that, while the brand itself may be okay, someone sold you a counterfeit bottle. There’s a lot of adulterated olive oil out there, because it’s so popular.

you’d think if it was fake oil It wouldn’t have burned though. Oh well, I think I’m done with it. I guess butter and avocados, fatty fish and meat (trying meat again) it’s going to be. And the occasional coconut oil even if it makes me nauseous.

What is the purpose of the olive oil/avocado oil?

(M) #9

fat. sometimes you need these fats when you don’t have access to enough animal fat or avocados, or you can’t tolerate dairy.

Olive oil is gross.
Sounds like you may have an intolerance to it, can you eat olives?

(M) #11

what fat is not gross to you?

I stopped eating olives from the jar when I got a few bitter tasting batches. They were fine up until then when I rinsed the vinegar off. They were organic, and not treated with lye.

Dr. Stephen Phinney points out that a lot of people find polyunsaturated fatty acids to be nauseating when consumed in quantity. So when people tell him that they wanted to do keto but couldn’t tolerate all that fat, he tells them to switch to animal fats. Butter, for example, is mostly equal amounts of saturated and mono-unsaturated fats with very little polyunsaturated fats, and so it tends to be tastier and to be tolerated better.

I can drink bacon grease out of the pan (once it’s cooled, naturally!) with great enjoyment. I like cleaning up after my sister cooks, because the pan juices from the meats are very tasty. But I’ve always found the taste of oils to be less than satisfactory. Unless it’s highly disguised, say in blue cheese salad dressing, for example.

I have no issue with any fats as such, but olive oil tastes awful and pork fat makes me sick.

Thanks, Allie!

I’ve never heard of this, and while I’ve consumed gallons of olive oil over the years, I’ve never drunk it by itself. I just find this sort of stuff fascinating.

I sometimes do shots of olive oil, and there indeed is some bitter-aromatic-itchy-burning sensation involved, especially at the end, as with the ‘finish’ of a wine. Lasting all day, though - ouch… Only some seconds for me.

(M) #16

Olive oil is mostly mono saturated isn’t?

(Brian) #17

So how would a person KNOW whether the olive oil that they bought is REALLY olive oil?

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #18

My main problem with olive oil is the taste, not so much the fat content. You are right that olive oil is mostly mono-unsaturated fats.

Does lard have taste ? I don’t really care for tallow.
