Olive oil has been linked to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, diabetes, and cellular oxidation in recent scientific studies. Olive oil's major component, oleic acid, raises good cholesterol (HDL) levels by transporting bad cholesterol deposited in arteries to the liver, where it is eliminated, lowering the risk of arterial thrombosis and heart attacks. Olive oil also helps to remove free radicals and strengthen the cell membrane due to its high presence of POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS such as sterols, tocopherols, and vitamins (particularly vitamin E).
