He does say that, in fact did in a conversation I had with him.

He stated - zero oil.
Okay, but he (Novick) did say the following in the above film clip: "If you're eating a really healthy diet, can you get away with a little bit of olive oil? (Then he shrugs) But if you're eating an American diet, should you be putting olive oil on it? No!"

He didn't answer the first question but the assumption is, "yes", you can get away with it. But, for me, it's more than just getting away with it, I need the calories and some fat to utilize the fat soluble vitamins.
