Olive Oil - more health benefits

According to an article in the Daily Mail, olive oil helps to 'switch off' genes which lead to conditions including heart disease and arthritis.

Their discovery shows how the much-praised Mediterranean diet can suppress chronic disorders.

Spanish researchers identified almost 100 genes whose inflammatory activity is dampened by consumption of olive oil, in particular extra virgin olive oil.

The article goes on to say that eating healthy mono-unsaturated fats such as olive oil is known to lower the risk of heart disease. Britain, which has one of the highest heart attack rates in the world, much higher levels of animal or saturated fats are eaten, than compared to Mediterranean countries like Spain, Italy and Greece.
