I'd always believed that things like coconut oil and
olive oil were part of a healthy diet. I ate them regularly with just about
every meal — I cooked with olive oil, spread coconut oil on my toast, and
drizzled avocado oil on my hummus.
A few months ago, though, I learned that oil is technically not part of a whole-foods, plant-based diet. I was shocked to learn that there was virtually no nutritional value to the oils that we're so used to eating on a daily basis.
