One of the health Channels had some 105 year old women who said the secret to longevity was drinking a shot glass of olive oil and a shot glass of balsamic vinegar every day. Maybe she was on to something....
And if you should want to inflame your aorta deliberately, just use peanut oil.
Olive oil rules. I use almost nothing else.
And are we creating better genes for the next generation??
Something seems illogical to me.
Olive oil, red wine, fresh garlic ... all God’s gifts. Have some every day.
"Some oil labeled “extra-virgin” is diluted with cheaper olive oils or other vegetable oils. In some cases, lampante, or “lamp oil,” which is made from spoiled olives fallen from trees, is used, even though it can't legally be sold as food. One fraud ring is accused of coloring low-grade soy oil and canola oil with industrial chlorophyll, and flavoring it with beta-carotene."
"The FDA doesn't routinely test imported olive oil for adulteration, and some products are difficult to test."

Fascinating. Perhaps this is a key insight into the French Paradox— they smoke, eat lots of butter and cheese, etc— everything we’re told not to do. And yet they live longer and in particular with less heart disease. Given that heart disease has an only-recently-recognized inflammatory component (arterial plaque is a symptom, not a cause, of that— it increasingly appears to be the body’s attempt to band-aid irritated vessels), and given that the French use a lot of olive oil, maybe we’re looking at a clue here.

are these the same high paid US Government researchers who have put out studies saying eggs are bad, or did they say they were good? Maybe it was coffess that was good for you, or not - guess I’m just confused by these highly scientific, well funded, definitive studies that come out regularly from this fine Federal Department.
Turn down, tune up, toss salad.LOL!
