Olivio

Stumper,

I think you mentioned that you had tried Olivio - the butter-substitute spread - and that your HDL went up afterwards??

I just bought a tub of it, and it is absolutely delicious!!! I actually prefer it over real butter. And it has 500mg Omega-3s per serving. It tastes much better to me than the Promise spread I had been using.

I still don't understand how Lee Iaccoca got connected with the company (maybe someone came to him with a business proposition and it made $$ sense to him), but as long as they're not putting motor oil from the auto assembly line into this stuff - I'm going to continue to buy it.

I looked at Benechol - and the price was too much for me - over twice the cost of the other spreads.

I'm going to stick with the Olivio for a while and see if it makes a difference in my next blood test.

Re: Olivio

I'm currently trying Olivio as well and I agree, it tastes really great. I'm also trying to do the 2 glasses of wine thing, though I don't remember it everyday. We'll see if it makes a difference in my numbers (which I probably won't do until sometime over the summer).

Hubbles,


Yes, it sure DID go up. I used it 2 days prior to my bloodwork and I hit an astounding *50 !

Prior to this I had dismal readings on my HDL's on my cardiocheck barely hitting 40, many times in the mid 30's. It was a simple accident that I was not expecting. I just happened to use it on some warm homemade bread for 2 days straight before bloodwork not realizing that it had to be the ONLY thing that could have jarred my very swtubborn HDL's upward.
My wife agrees with me,.2 .

I actually wrote the company and told them that they should have their consumers run some tests on it.

I used it very LIBERALLY prior to my tests. Warm bread can melt and soak up alot of butter. That stuff is also good, very good, for cooking. My wife loves it.

I am goiung to try another test on my cardiocheck with it. Lenin thought I should try to duplicate the Olivio with the Cardiocheck and see if I get the same results. I ceratainly will and will let you know in this post2

Yes, it IS delicious.

P.S....I can't de;lete those stupid number 2's. Just ignore them.

Re: Olivio

Where to buy olivio? I'd like to try it. I visited their website and the stores listed were all NE, SE, and E. Central, or west coast. Seems like here in the heartland we are last on a lot of lists. Anyone know of a mail order source? I will ask my grocer but I don't expect much as they are spending their energy by trying to compete with our new big box store on the price of a can of tuna!
