Olive oil is most noted for its monounsaturated fatty acids, so focusing on the Omega fatty acids seems a bit unusual.

Olive oil has a very tiny amount of Omega-3 fat (linolenic acid), with all the rest of its polyunsaturated far being Omega-6 (linoleic acid). You can get a ton of Omega-6 from soy, corn, canola, and other common oils. Canola has a fair amount of this same form of Omega-3 (ALA).

This is something meant to help those with low platelets. My guess is that most everyone here is fine with their platelets. Being able to raise just platelets through a simple dietary intervention is pretty impressive.

Platelets increase with iron therapy, too.

I love me lots of olive oil. And mayo. And fatty fish. And marbled steaks. And butter. And cheese.

The good cholesterols are good and the bad numbers are low. YMMV.

No thanks to olive oil, tastes like some sort of mechanical fluid to me.

She seems to boost Popeye's platelets, too!
