    The evidence is that it is more likely to be the colours and the greens than the olive oil. I have not heard of those who reside around the Mediterranean to live longer than other Europeans. When monounsaturated fats (OLO) are exposed to oxygen and heat they rapidly go rancid. When they are consumed the heat and oxygen of the body causes the same deterioration which creates masses of those nasty wee free radicals which are harmful to the cellular level of the body and causes accelerated aging. Anyone who suffers from cardiac problems should find that both mono and poly unsaturated fats cause angina. Who then is paying for this research; the olive farmers?
