| The Mediterranean
Diet Pyramid is based on the classic Mediterranean lifestyle: a variety of fresh, healthy foods eaten in moderation, with daily physical activity. Research shows a direct link between this healthy diet and a lower incidence of heart and other diseases. |
|
|
|
Olive oil is a key part of this healthy way of eating, replacing butter, margarine and other fats. High in monounsaturated fat, olive oil helps lower bad LDL cholesterol while maintaining good HDL cholesterol. And it's a good source of antioxidants including vitamin E.

November, 2004: FDA approved the following qualified health claim for olive oil.
"Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 2 tablespoons (23 grams)
of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.
To achieve this possible benefit, olive oil is to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total
number of calories you eat in a day".
All olive oil flavors, Extra Light, Originale, Extra Virgin, and Garlic are
the same nutritionally!
