  Dr Greger's claims seem to contradict the bulk of academic opinion. Maybe he's right, but when I search, I tend to find things like these: "Olive oil is well known for its cardioprotective properties" - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23006416 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23006416 "In conclusion, the aggregated evidence supports the assertion that olive oil consumption is beneficial for human health" - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378512218306522 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037851221...
