Don’t forget to add olive oil to your diet, since it may keep you away from cancer. Researchers studied the effect of olive oil consumption on about 182 men between the ages 20 to 60 and found that taking a quarter cup of olive oil for about 15 days resulted in 13 percent reduction in the substance called, 8oxodG, which increases the risk of developing cancer.
As per researchers, olive oil contains a number of compounds, called phenols, which are known to act as powerful antioxidants. However, earlier too, many studies have come up unwrapping several health benefits. For instance, olive oil is known for raising HDL level, also known as ‘good’ cholesterol at the same time for bringing down the level of LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol. In addition, it is a proven fact that olive oil intake helps reducing the chances of gallstone formation and colon cancer.
Reading so many benefits of olive oil, would you deny that olive oil is not less than a medicine?
