So a completely dry salad, not even a bit of olive oil? Yeesh.

  Since you're asking curious, see some ideas for dressings here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wfpb+salad+dressings https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wfpb+salad+dres... The salad underneath the dressing is usually WFPB as it is, so needs little adjustment. I also like just salad, with a little salt, pepper and balsamico. But tastes differ. IMHO oil is still not a health food, no not even olive oil. There is science to back it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbtwwZP4Yfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbtwwZP4Yfs My personal conclusion: i eat very little (<1tblsp/d) and very high quality coco or olive oil.

    Have you read some of the studies your video link to? "10 people", "18 men" etc. Most are blood tests some hours after a meal. Nothing about long term effect on health. Just full papers published from what should be one data point and a lot of speculation from the youtuber.

    That is a thoroughly depressing playlist. You avoid processed foods, but you add balsamico to your salad? Balsamico is made by concentrating down grape juice through boiling, and then fermenting the resulting must for years. Isn't that processing, and far away from "whole food"? And the oil thing is simply scaremongering. Of course oil is calorie dense, but as long as you keep that in mind, it's fine. The papers cited by the guy in the video you linked don't really back up your claims. (Besides, something doesn't become true, just because there's a paper or two on it)
