Moderate daily consumption of olive oil significantly suppresses the formation of unwanted blood clots, whether in the heart, lung, brain, or elsewhere. The effect only lasts for a day or so, so the dietary intake must be kept up.

Another paradoxical discovery is that while fat people do get more heart attacks, those heart attacks are likely to be less severe than those suffered by thin people.

Since about three years ago, I have chosen to cook exclusively with olive oil. Beyond the health benefits, I love the taste.

That's interesting. It does seem odd, but I have long wondered if extreme thinness is a health risk.
