The first video is hilarious and well brought, I enjoyed it. The Olive Oil video I find a bit short sighted. It does not really provide research references nor where to get them. There is various scientific research that counters the 'opinion' voiced in that video, and usually there is since that is the nature of research.

For example on the use of mobile phones you will find researchers claiming it is a cause of brain cancer, and similarly qualified researchers claiming it is not. We all know certain industries have funded research to influence the outcome, e.g. the tabaco industry.

As far as I know, any vegetable oriented oil is more healthy then fat/oil from an animal source. If anyone has more conclusive links then a youtube video I would really appreciate them (either here or in a private message), youtube is not exactly a great source for scientific information.

PS: the title of that video is quite misleading too, since only a fraction of the speech is about olive oil. My interest in Canola oil did spark however due to the video so its not all bad.
