No more heart attacks
In the most remarkable recent discovery about olive oil, Dr. Robert Vogel at the University of Maryland reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that olive oil was found to reduce blood flow in arteries by 31 percent after consumption. This is significant in relation to blood clots and heart attacks, as well as angina. It's suggested that people be aware of any relationship between consuming olive oil and an angina attack. Also, it was found that olive oil "causes significant damage" to the endothelial cells that line the inside of arteries. This damage causes inflammation which leads to atherosclerosis. |
Thanks for the infromation. You know, I have questioned the value of olive oil many times in the past. I never voiced those concerns to anyone but I would think about it to myself. I would tell people that they should only eat natural whole foods, but olive oil is not a whole food. It's a processed food!
Okay, I can live without olive oil but I believe I do need at least a small amount of fat in my diet. So I guess the solution is to have a few nuts to take the place of the olive oil. I'm going to try it as soon as I finish the olive oil that I have.
