As far as olive oil.........everything I've heard is that it is healthy.
It's all we use at home. All Italian dishes call for olive oil.....

Why it's a good arthritis food: Olive oil contains oleocanthal,which blocks enzymes involved in inflammation.

About 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil acts like one-tenth of a dose of ibuprofen, according to a study at the Monnell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That may not be much, but small dietary changes add up.

“Since olive oil’s not calorie-free (one tablespoon has 119 calories), don’t douse your food with it,” Bonci warns.

How much to eat: One tablespoon a day on salads, bread or vegetables is a good amount for an optimal arthritis diet.
