Nikki Hart: Nutritionist on the new TikTok trend of drinking shots of olive oil

A new health fad has come onto the scene.\xa0

Endorsed by the likes of Kourtney Kardashian, Beyonce, and Gwyneth Paltrow, a new TikTok trend has people drinking olive oil.\xa0

While olive oil does have health benefits, Nutritionist Nikki Hart isn\u2019t sure about doing it as a shot.\xa0

She told Mike Hosking that medically, there isn\u2019t a difference between consuming 30mils over the course of a day or in a single shot, and the monounsaturated fat it contains is good for heart health.\xa0

However, Hart said, they don\u2019t want people thinking that a single shot of oil a day will cancel out the impact of a highly processed diet full of saturated fats, when it's just adding to their fat intake.\xa0
