This guy should hookup with the other grifter, Dr
Oz who sells snake oil pills to fix everything from an ingrown toenail to a stroke

I would not trust either one of them

The product is already 10 months old when delivered. That only gives you 14 months to use up how many bottles you happened to buy. Don't be deceived by the 3-year gap in the picture above.

I watch a a YouTube video from Dr Gundry. It did not mention his own olive oil. He did heavily recommend evoo for its many health benefits which he detailed. He also dispelled the myth that evoo oxidizes more readily than other oils during high heat cooking and the smoke point is not the oxidation point. I’m assuming that’s true.
Anyway it’s sad that he has apparently been exploiting people with unfit products, which I will take on assignment. It makes sifting the wheat from the chaff all the harder. At least he wasn’t pushing neurotoxic spike proteins through polyethylene coated mRNA or kidney destroying Remdesivir!

Agreed! I do my own research and make sure I’m buying quality EVOO from small, family owned, honest farmers.

I respect Dr. Gundry, especially for his breakthrough research on lectins and gut leaking. However, I would never have bought his olive oil! I agree with you he could use his megaphone much better.
I have been married to a Morrocan for 15 years, and I’ve learned just about everything about the Morrocan olive oil business. I found a huge variation in quality levels. I learned about the wild olive they called ziebouge. It would fit the description of Dr. Gundrys oil, but I know they could never produce enough for his market, because there is so little and not enough to even go around in their own communities.
I have also heard various of accounts of people who survived perfectly on nothing other than olive oil, bread and scraps.

Comprehensive analysis of polyphenols in 55 extra virgin olive oils:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23070730/
The total reducing capacity (total phenolics) of olive oils ranged from about 40 to 530 mg gallic acid equivalents/kg oil.

In my opinion, it erodes the credibility of this article when it rings of a hit piece. I watched one video by Dr. Gundry. I think he's interesting and entertaining, but it did sound a bit like an infomercial.

I am convinced that extra virgin olive oil is very healthy, so I hope I don't purchase fake ones. It's getting so hard to tell the difference.

I am not a fan of the taste of this olive oil at all! It tastes like burnt cod liver oil to me! I’m taking about a teaspoon a day because I paid for it and I want to see if it does something for my health! I probably won’t re-order it unless it works miracles!
I’m pretty new to the plant paradox diet but so far so good! I hope it will give me good results, and I don’t need this olive oil to achieve them! Dr. Gundry actually gives you quite a number of oil choices! I did order some other products of his that I have not gotten yet!

As promised I came back to say the olive oil is disgusting. I agree with Dr. G’s education on inflammatory foods and diet info. He’s not the only doctor saying this but hood olives oil is overpriced and taste terrible

I love the taste of his olive oil. That said, I am not so sure it is worth the price if other extra-virgin olive oil has high polyphenols, too, at a much lower cost.

So I bought this oil. It was delivered today. I’m at work and haven’t tried it.
Dr. Gundry is a Ivy League cardiac surgeon with several patents on medical devices. I work with the doctor who created the Window in the c-section drape. These are very smart doctors and also doctors who have opinions. Medical professionals have opinions. We see a lot. When doctors go against the grain they get push back by their peers. Doesn’t mean he’s wrong or that many of us don’t agree with many things he says. We understand that traditional medicine still has a ton of flaws. Especially when it comes to nutritional education and counseling. We still don’t differentiate good fat from bad fat (god fats like avocado olive oil etc).
The author of this article is the founder and editor of olive oil times and surely has vested interests and the opinions in this article are clearly biased.
I’ll update if the oil is gross but so far although I don’t agree with everything gundry says many nurses, techs, therapists and other healthcare professionals follow him. His education and accomplishments are public knowledge so why would he scam people with olive oil, diet advice and supplements when he was already a successful and famous surgeon? 🤦‍♀️

When I witnessed Gundry holding up a lab beaker containing some red liquid the whole deceptive/acted aspect of the pitch for his olive oil came crashing into my mind so abruptly I actually burst out laughing. After reading Curtis Cord's evaluation of this I got a few more laughs to boot. I am just glad we live close to a company that has its own olive groves and only sells oil harvested upon their land. I think I will stick with them.

I quickly looked on the internet and didn't see immediate negative articles on the oil and so I decided to try it. With the first time purchase discount it was a better price. It does have on the bottle and box it is cold pressed extra virgin organic olive oil and it has a green leaf and USDA Organic symbol on it. But I recently received it and started googling what does rancid olive oil smell and taste like. Before ordering I also tasted a common name brand one I had in the house. It didn't have much flavor nor much of a peppery burn. While waiting I decided to buy Costco's organic EVOO and it did have a green taste and peppery burn. I then received my Gundry order and blech! It smells and tastes maybe like a strong barn or hay taste and flavor. It does have the burn but it is not green tasting at all. It would destroy the flavor of anything you put it on. I have to force myself to drink it thinking it is medicinal but decided to poke around some on the internet. Is this what it should taste like? I think not. I will be returning my order for their declared money back guarantee. The bottle has a production date of May 2021 and expiration date of May 2023. It was ordered August 2022. The wineries in Italy all pretty much also make olive oil. None of the oil when I visited there tasted nasty like the Gundry one I just received. Just gross.

I bought his olive oil, it is the worst tasting oil I've ever tasted. It ruins the taste of whatever I use it for. At first I attributed it to the premise it is supposed to taste different but now I do suspect it's just rancid and I'm out $42.00. Awful tasting stuff.

I was waiting for this article for a long time. It is astonishing a charlatan with a MD attached to his name would use his doctor status for selling crap to the uninitiated and line up his filthy pocket. His lectin theory has been downgraded and dismissed by many but he is still going around warning about tomato while advocating benefits of Mediterranean diet. As if Greeks or Sicilian peasants who some live near a 100 would peel or seed their tomatoes before eating. It is unbelievable such a large amount of hogwash is spewed by this so-called doctor and sad to see people are reliving themselves from their hard-earned money to support this snake oil salesman.

Would you still have the same POV if you learned the hydroxytyrosol found in Dr Gundry's oil was an additive? Google "Novel Food" hydroxytyrosol. I honestly have no information that this is the case, but it is worth pondering, considering the adulteration of Olive Oils proven to have taken place in bottles labeled "pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil from [Mediterranean Country]".
I read a scholarly article (but plain language understandable by most laymen), which determined NF hydroxytyrosol was safe to add to foods (not just Olive Oil). The main problem i would have with the practice would be NOT DISCLOSING IT.
(Again, no accusations here. Just can't understand why it would not be mentioned or be withheld.)

The comment you replied to is obviously a Gundry associate.The problem with just coming out and saying it's enriched with an additive is that it's being pitched as a high-quality olive oil -- not motor oil with an additive, which is what the cited expert said it tastes like.

All I know is my own medical history. The only dietary change I made was adding 2-3 tablespoons throughout the day 4 months ago. I’m still overweight and have not done anything else to improve my health, including leading a sedentary lifestyle at 68 (female). My total cholesterol has dropped from 208 to 187, my triglycerides have gone from 180 to 70, my non HDL has gone from 180 to 133, and my LDL from 122 to 117. Not perfect but fasting labs don’t lie and neither do I.

Watch out
I am a normal customer that naively bought Gundry’s olive oil off of Amazon.

It arrived very rancid. I took it to my local Olive Oil Sommelier and she confirmed that it is indeed rancid and she has had numerous customers that have had the same problem.

When I tried to return it, Gundry MD on Amazon will not allow me to return it, or refund any money. I contacted Gundry’s organization directly and they refuse to stand behind it. I have wasted considerable time on this to no avail. So, not only do I have a very expensive product I cannot use, it is appearing that he is running a scam (in addition to everything in this article).

Same here. The commercial sounded so convincing. I'll just try to research EVOO on my store shelves before buying
