Here’s another report touting the health benefits of olive oil.

After analysing samples from 15 olive oil mills, researchers have demonstrated that olive oil is very rich in polyphenols. According to Professors Alberto Fernández and Antonio Segura, “as preventive substances, polyphenols help to combat any oxidative disease associated with the degenerative process.”

The polyphenols found in olive oils are powerful antioxidants and is thus highly beneficial for the prevention of cell aging and osteoporosis.

  1. ฺBisides found in olive oil, where can i find polyphenols?

  2. Robert Miller says:

    An excellent provider of extra-virgin olive oil is Holy Food Imports. They actually produce their products in Israel, but sell them in the US. I have been a long time customer of theirs and their products defiantly beat what you’ll find at your local supermarket.
