Olive Oil (ELOO) - one of the World’s Healthiest Foods?

Posted by Jeff May 30, 2006

For those of us who are swigging olive oil daily, here’s some background on olive oil.

Olive oil is rich in Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant:

“It turns out that people who use olive oil regularly, especially in place of other fats, have much lower rates of heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer, and asthma.”

This is a pretty technical article. The most interesting and relevant bit concerns storage: it should be in a dark place, away from heat. Most olive oil is in glass bottles, so that means I shouldn’t store mine by the stove but in a closed cupboard :)
