What olive oil is recommended?

Do you think it's wise to supplement some olive oil with a choline food source, or if you're also taking sunflower lecithin and phosphatidylcholine, to reduce the production of TMAO? It sounds like that's the case from the study you posted.

I do think olive oil is a healthy addition to the diet. The most important aspect though of reducing TMAO is to prevent SIBO and dysbiosis by keeping liver and gut function healthy and bile and stomach acid production sufficient.

I rarely eat olive oil, sometimes I drizzle some over some shitake mushrooms when I have them, which is not that common. Maybe it's time to give olive oil the attention it deserves again.

I don't use that much olive oil. The other day I made a Mediterranean style dish. I briefly baked a snapper stuffed with herbs and garlic and served it with warm bread drizzled with olive oil and some salt.

I have been recently looking into olive oil and why it is shunned by a certain doctor because it contains polyphenols and aldehydes (which ironically are the main health promoting compounds). If olive oil has these "forbidden" compounds like oleocanthal (aldehyde), which are supposed to be disease causing, why does olive oil do so many great things? Maybe a certain doctor's theory is poorly constructed. 

If polyphenols/all aldehydes only help by "stopping detox", why do those present in olive oil help the microbiome, the liver, pancreas, brain, skin and help with diabetes/cancer and the like? People who drink copious amounts live a very long time as well. 

It seems that microbes eat some of these compounds and then pass along byproducts that benefit us. Fresh olive leaf extract has similar effects.

Good points. By the sea you have more negative ions, which are good for your health: https://vcmpt.com/are-negative-ions-good-for-you

And in the picturesque Greek villages, the buildings are made of stone. No insulation, no carpets or other insidious materials that block earthly charge from moving freely through the body. Check out Miles Mathis' paper on this, very fascinating: http://mileswmathis.com/build.pdf

I bet my health would improve dramatically if I lived in such a place by the sea.

Wow!    @christian !  what an article.   Answers so many questions, including why you never see a sheep on fire.   My to-do list runneth over!
