I want plants to be the bulk of my daily carbs. I’m not trying to eliminate grains, just squeeze them out of contention with a ton of appetizing veggie dishes. (And extravagant sloshes of olive oil.)

Only use at very low temperatures - if it's 'sizzling' it's probably too hot for olive oil. It will oxidize and most of its healthful properties will be gone. Better to put it on the food that's already hot (try steam or baking) if you want its flavor and health benefits. Also as I touted in another post, if you like the variety of flavors of commercial salad dressing, try mixing them 1/3 to 2/3 EVOO and you'll get the flavor with the goodness of olive oil to boot.

I use it like that and I was surprised at the results - good tan, no burning, skin in good condition, CAn't point you at the research right now - if it was a researched piece - but will hunt around. This would be for adults, btw, and not for really fair-skinned people.

Buy your oil in dark green bottles, or better yet, in opaque metal containers. As for my favorite use - everything. I even keep a bottle on my desk at work.
