Everyone has heard of the wonders of Olive Oil, and the good old folks in Tuscany use the healthiest version of all: Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, which contains Oleic acid, a compound that blocks a key gene linked to cancer.
It also has the greatest amount of nutrients and fatty acids. In fact, one Italian study found women who consumed Extra Virgin Olive Oil had markedly lower rates of age related cell damage than their non-olive oil counterparts, and were even 30% healthier than women who consumed regular olive oil!
Makes you think!!
**Tips to buying Olive Oil:
(1) Choose a small bottle made of tinted glass- Small bottle limits oxygen that enters as u pour.
Tinted glass filters UV light
