Whole grain flour is not, as it is just crushed into a flour and does not have any fiber or micronutrients removed like would occur with white flour, for example

Oils are high in calories and have next to zero micronutrients. They are refined macronutrients the same as sugar.
Health outcome data also shows better health for no-oil plant based diets, vs the same diets with as little as a quarter cup of olive oil a day.
Pretty sure that’s what Jeffery Dahmer said too
A quarter cup of olive oil is 4 table spoons, or about 2 oz. My mom puts that on her salads in a vinegarette dressing. People fry onions in more than that. People definitely consume that much regularly.
“Drinking cups of olive oil isn’t good” This isnt cups of olive oil. This is a few tablespoons.
Do you have any sources regarding any health benefits of olive oil vs no oils? Because i haven’t seen any that support your notion that there are benefits to including oil vs not includong it. I’d agree that replacing other, less healthy fats with oils could be good, but in my experience, that’s not what people do when they hear oil is healthy for you. Anecdotally, they just add more empty calories in oil to their diets, instead of replacing any.
