Starbucks customers have taken to social media to share their experiences with the coffee chain's new slate of olive oil-infused drinks, and apparently, for some, the picture is not so pretty.
another Twitter user, sharing an image of their Venti Oleato Iced Shaken Espresso."Not sure if it’s the olive oil."Consuming oil, like castor oil, has been a proven method for relieving constipation , so we've been aware of oil’s proven ability to get things rolling, so to speak. But could a little in your morning coffee act like a"laxative," as some have claimed?
“Castor oil has long been a cure for constipation. Oil of any kind can help stool move through the digestive tract, especially if you’ve been constipated for a while,” Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, tells TODAY.com. “Olive oil can certainly have this effect too, especially if you’re drinking a venti or grande.”
Largeman-Roth also says that if you pair the possible laxative effect of oil with the fact that coffee is a stimulant for the digestive system, and the combo may deliver a one-two punch, sending you straight to the bathroom. “The effects may be more pronounced if you drink Oleato on an empty stomach,” she adds.
So, if you want to give one of the olive oil-slicked drinks a try, be sure to pair it with food, and make sure you're not too far from a restroom you'd be comfortable spending some time in.
