It really does not spell out the
numbers, but the additional benefits strongly indicate that making olive oil
your dominant cooking oil is clearly beneficial. I would also like to see this compared
directly with canola oil on the same basis.
The advent of canola oil gave the food industry oil that matched or
surpassed the preferred fat ratios of olive oil which was far superior to any competitor. The difficulty, if that is an issue is that
it is flavorless, but easily flavored with a small addition of an oil of your
choice.
In the meantime, we read here
that olive oil clearly reduces the incidence of stroke although this likely
means that it lessens cardiovascular stress.
The problem is not cured but it is simply running better and stroke becomes
less likely.
I suspect then that canola oil
has similar benefits and the best approach is to use olive oil for straight
consumption while canola is reserved for cooking.

"Stroke is so common in older people, and olive oil would be an inexpensive and easy way to help prevent it," said Dr Cecilia Samieri, of the
"Our research suggests that a new set of dietary recommendations should be issued to prevent stroke in people 65 and older."
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Internet Stroke Center, which tracks the disease. In all, more than 143,500 people die each year in the
The health benefits of olive oil are well known. An earlier study by Italian researchers found that olive oil, combined with green leafy vegetables, help prevent heart disease.
Another study found that the culinary oil helps prevent oxidative stress, which has been linked to a number of health issues, on the liver.
Still another found that extra virgin olive oil helps combat breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), a woman in the
