Mediterranean chef touts 'liquid gold' in pantry for heart health and weight-loss benefits
Fox News
Chef and author Suzy Karadsheh calls olive oil “liquid gold" for its role in boosting healthy fats, promoting fullness and helping to make the Mediterranean diet one of the healthiest.
"A brief dietary GLP-1 signal after a meal simply does not produce the same sustained effect." Deirdre Bardolf is a lifestyle writer with Fox News Digital.
"It's the one thing that I reach for all the time, and it's one of the main reasons the Mediterranean diet is really good for heart health. You make that one swap, and you start using extra virgin oil for your fat, and you've just upgraded your diet by a lot, simply because you went from maybe saturated fats or something more processed to this liquid gold."
Karadsheh grew up along the Mediterranean coast of Egypt and is now based in the Atlanta area. She's the author of two New York Times bestselling cookbooks and the founder of a curated line of Mediterranean pantry staples. Her cooking centers on vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish and healthy fats — especially olive oil.
