The Olive Oil

Generally the Olive Oil

Just recently the scientists discovered the real value of the olive oil. Olive oil is now well known that decreases the possibility of cancer disease, and reduces the risk of heart attacks 2 . Also prevents the formation of free radicals which can cause the destruction of cells in the human body.

Last but not least, it doesn't contain any cholisterol.

The 80% of the oil consists of monounsaturated fatty acids, which help keep the high HDL (aka good cholesterol) and low levels of LDL ("bad" cholesterol).

The Greek olive oil is associated with a balanced Mediterranean cuisine and is still a valuable product-food, which plays an important role in the quality of our lives.
