One type of fat that merits a place in the diet for reversing Type 2 Diabetes is monounsaturated fat. One of the best properties of monounsaturated fats is their stability. Unlike polyunsaturated fats, they may withstand heat without breaking down into destructive substances… consequently they are the best choice for cooking.

The best monounsaturated fat is virgin olive oil.

According to a study published last year in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, including this peculiar oil in your diet might be helpful for controlling:

• blood pressure
• cholesterol, and
• fatty acids

in Type 2 diabetics.

Researchers at the Institute of Cooking Fat in Seville, Spain studied 17 Type 2 diabetic elderly volunteers and 23 non-diabetic elderly volunteers receiving a diet rich in virgin olive oil for 4 weeks. For both groups of volunteers, the systolic (top number), blood pressure was reduced. Low-density lipoprotein was protected from oxidation. Systolic blood pressure (lower number) is the strength of the blood versus the walls of the arteries with each heartbeat. When the systolic blood pressure is reduced, your heart does not have to pump as hard as it did when the pressure was higher.

Olive oil is:

• obtained from ground olives grown in Mediterranean countries, Australia, and California in the United States
• extracted by either physical or mechanical means.

Virgin olive oil is extracted by physical means.

If you are used to frying foods in fats such as butter or lard, substituting oil for the other fat might be a good way to commence including healthful oil in your diet. Making salad dressings may be a simple matter of mixing a little virgin olive oil with balsamic vinegar. Broccoli baked in a microwave becomes in truth tasty when a little healthful oil is dribbled over it. For those who like to cook, there are galore recipes for making more elaborated dishes with virgin olive oil.

Theveggietable.com recommends making an asparagus salad with asparagus, lemon juice, olives, mint, bell pepper, onions and olive oil. A little crumbled goat cheese may be added if you wish. Or try chilled avocado soup with limes, avocados, garlic, peppers, oil and cilantro or parsley. Thevegancookbook.com proposes a salad dressing made from cashews, water, healthful oil, apple cider vinegar, tamari, lemon juice, and black pepper.

Of course, healthful does not inevitably mean low in calories… olive oil is a fat. At 119 calories (500 kj) per tablespoon it must not be eaten with abandon, but may be part of a low or moderate calorie/kilojoule diet with a little planning. It is commonly commended added fat ought to be fixed to 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. The remainder of the fat in your diet will come from that naturally present in feed commended for Type 2 diabetes.

For centuries, olive oil has been one of the mainstays of the Mediterranean diet. Today, olive oil evokes images of the old country with it is more elementary and somewhat slower modus vivendi what we like to think of as the good life. We have tried to capture a percentage of this life style by using 100% olive oil to kettle cook our chips. The result of our attempts is chips with a hearty crunch and all natural taste. Kettle cooking in 100% olive oil also makes these chips a delicious source of mono and polyunsaturated fats.

Some of the best we’ve ever had!
By Lynn Mckamey
My husband and I have tasted potato chip brands from one end of the country to the other, but these are absolutely THE BEST! I agree it is hard to consume only one serving at a time… hubby and I ate the whole 5 oz bag! And we are not big eaters of anything – haven’t done something like this in years, but then we’ve never had such tasty chips ever.

Highly recommended!

Best chips ever!
By Karamia Mine
I happened upon these chips at a local discount store and thought that I’d give them a try. These are the first chips that I could really say “You can’t eat just one”. I went back and bought all they had left. Then when they were gone, I was thrilled to find them on Amazon. Try them – you will not be disappointed.

Possibly the ultimate potato chip . . .
By Irreverent
When local stores stopped carrying these, all the other neighborhood noshers and I almost starved during the Packer games (the package even has Packer colors!), but even fans of the B**rs and V**ings forget the colors when they take the first bite.

Allegedly, olive oil actually helps with blood cholesterol.

The main problem is trying to keep from eating the whole bag after the first bite.

Tip to Luker and others who complain instead of using an obvious simple solution to their problem: Open the BOTTOM of the bag (Hint: It’s very similar to the top, except on the other end of the bag). Eat from that end to get rosemary more evenly distributed with every chip.
