Olive oil is a main ingediant in the mediterranean diet which have proven to be good for your heart.
olive oil contains oleic acid (mon. saturated fat) that is supposed to be very good for you. However this fat can be found in other oils such as Sunflower, Canola oil.
however in a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine. Olive oil has large amounts of polyphenols. these help the heart.
the study was small and was only done on men but showed an improvment in good cholesterol.
so if you want to buy olive oil and cook with it more, you should buy either virgin or extra virgin olive oil. both are about the same for nutritional value.
so start using olive oil,
note: in many of these studies women often have different results to certain treatment and drugs, when it comes to heart diesease. however indications is that oilve oil is very good for women also.....
