Beneficial Health Effects of Extra Virgin Olive Oil....

...are vastly known: antiaging, cancer prevention, heart disease and high blood pressure prevention, anti-inflammatory effect, stomach´s protection against ulcers and gastritis, blood sugar control... They are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid and triglecerids) and its high content of antioxidative substances, sterols and chlorophylls. No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated fats as Extra Virgin. Besides this, only extra virgin (=unprocessed) olive oil has other beneficial compounds as antioxidants, that are not present in other categories of olive oil either vegetables or seed refined oils, since these components are eliminated during the refining process.
