Is this true? (oils thin mucus, cause dry conditions)

[MJ]

I read in a certain raw food book in reference to oils such as olive oil:

"Pressed oils, in many individuals, cause thinning of the mucus that protects the stomach and intestinal linings when oils are eaten too often".

"Pressed oils often cause dry and acrid conditions in the body."

Is this true?

I've heard that, too. But then you hear sth like this: a french woman died at the age of 123 and stated earlier that her secret is olive oil which she poures on all her food and uses on her face and body. She lived in a town that produced high quality oo.

You can read/hear all kinds of weird statements.
If such a statement comes with a scientific reference, then we can check its validity, otherwise its speculative.
But let me speculate.
Oils have a soothening effect, rather than aggressive properties. for example: if you drink lots of OJ without oil, you will get acid reflux / acid burn, but when you add oil to your juices, this will not happen and you can drink as much as you want without getting acid reflux / burn.

haha, I would assume having your stomach coated in oil would be helpful... same reason why pepto bismol is gooey ;o)
