The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

c0mp0stableI personally would definitely eat it while in Italy. I don't think there's anything wrong with olive oil except the purity issues we have in the US (cooking with it is a problem, but that's a different story). If I could more easily access real olive oil, I'd probably always have some around, but I doubt I would eat it regularly, just because I'm not sure I eat much that would call for it.
soulhoneyxI’ll bring some back for you!
soulhoneyxI swear I’ve been lied to my entire life after eating the olive oil here…it actually tastes like olives???? WILD
soulhoneyxAnd don’t get me started on the coffee quality.
c0mp0stableYeah real olive oil is almost weirdly different.
hypotrochoidalvortexCan anyone here help me interpret why I get super cold and vasoconstricted unlesss I take 10-20g of collagen with each meal? Seems like glycine kinda has the same effect. If I eat just muscle meat my hands and nose feel extremely cold but this is completely mitigated by taking 50-60g of collagen daily
c0mp0stableRay Peat talked a lot about the need to balance muscle meats (higher in inflammatory amino acids) with gelatin/collagen to maintain metabolic rate. It might not be vasoconstriction. It might just be your metabolism "buffering" a bit.
AnimalBasedAlNOBS tablets, best one I ever tried
AnimalBasedAlAny single origin olive oil is safe if you are metabolically healthy. It is ~10% PUFA if you aren’t. Here in CA, the capay valley produces good stuff.
