Nutrition - Olive Oil

Olive oil is a concentrated source of monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Extra-virgin olive oil also contains polyphenolic phytonutrients that have antioxidant activity.

Storage
Storage is extremely important to preserve the nutritional content of all oils.  Heat and sunlight are the two problem areas for Olive Oil. 

Selection
By far the best is Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil… the others are just good.

Things to know
Even if you use olive oil once it has been heated on the stove it converts from a Menstruated Acid to a Trans Fatty Acid (bad). So cooking with it does not really count in helping the body. Use it as a dressing on vegetables, whole grain pasta, and dipping breads.

Research links can be found yourself if you truly desire to gain understanding. A normal tendency for humans is to want to be given something for nothing and then be upset if they are not satisfied with it. For this reason I leave it up to you to search yourself to find the research. Don't take my word for it and don't believe me just because i say it. We all need to be wise enough to filter through false statements to find the truth.

This is why the Truth is important...

Americans spend money and time trying to find solutions to their problems. Maybe the greatest reason to specifically use olive oil in your diet is to raise your HDL and lower your LDL levels of Chloresterol. Simple and sweet. Oh and if you stop eating meats especially pork you see greater change.
