Olive Oil & Health
by Publio Viola
Scientific
research is advancing continuously, which makes it necessary to
reexamine the medical and nutritional worth of olive oil in the light
of the latest knowledge. It has in fact been observed that edible fats
and oils can cause peroxidative processes which may be detrimental to
health. Consequently, they need to be protected by antioxidants. In
this respect olive oil is privileged because its fatty acid composition
and distinctive antioxidant content render it particularly resistant to
oxidative deterioration, and this biological balance lends it a top
ranking amongst edible fats and oils.
This book steps you through a detailed analysis of all the aspects of
the relationships between fats, oils, health and provides further
confirmation that olive oil is a precious source of wellbeing for
mankind.
