A few words about OLIVE OIL:

When you shop for olive oil, you will notice a host of different grades are available, including extra-virgin, fine virgin, refined and pure.

• Extra-virgin is the unrefined oil derived from the first pressing of the olives and has the most delicate flavor.
• Virgin is also derived from the first pressing of the olives but has a higher acidity level than Extra Virgin Olive Oil (as well as less phytonutrients and a less delicate taste)

  Chemically, the difference between extra virgin olive oil and virgin olive oil involves the amount of free oleic acid, which is a marker for overall acidity. According to the standards adopted by the International Olive Oil Council , "virgin" can contain up to 2% free oleic acid, while "extra virgin" can contain up to 0.8% of free oleic acid.

• Pure oil is a bit of a misnomer. Don't be fooled if you see the term "pure" on the label; it means the oil is a blend of refined and virgin olive oils

Olive oil is a concentrated source of monounsaturated fats and vitamin E . Extra-virgin olive oil also contains polyphenolic phytonutrients that have antioxidant activity .

Studies on olive oil and atherosclerosis reveal that particles of LDL cholesterol (the potentially harmful cholesterol) that contain the monounsaturated fats of olive oil are less likely to become oxidized. Since only oxidized cholesterol sticks to artery walls, eventually forming the plaques that can lead to a heart attack or stroke , preventing the oxidation of cholesterol is a good way to help prevent atherosclerosis. A recent in vitro study also showed that polyphenolic compounds present in olive oil, including oleuropein, inhibit the adhesion of monocyte cells to the blood vessel lining, a process that is involved in the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, when people with high cholesterol levels removed the saturated fat from their diets and replaced it with olive oil, their total cholesterol levels dropped an average of 13.4%, and their LDL cholesterol levels dropped by 18%. Note, however, that these benefits occurred when they used olive oil in place of other fats, rather than simply adding olive oil to a diet high in unhealthy fats.
