A new health fad has come onto the scene.

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

While olive oil does have health benefits, Nutritionist Nikki Hart isn’t sure about doing it as a shot.

She told Mike Hosking that medically, there isn’t 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.

However, Hart said, they don’t 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.
