Olive oil shots for weight loss: experts question the trend

A new social media trend involves drinking a shot of olive oil for weight loss and health benefits. Proponents claim it aids digestion, reduces cravings, and improves skin, though these are anecdotal. Experts suggest these benefits are likely overstated and can be achieved through dietary use. While olive oil has health benefits, consuming it as a shot may add unnecessary calories and cause digestive upset, with experts recommending its use in cooking instead.
