Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Olive oil's high level of monounsaturated fat may help lower blood cholesterol, and its antioxidants may help protect against some cancers and other chronic health conditions, as well as boost HDL ("good") cholesterol. Portion Control:Although olive oil has great benefits, it also has a lot of calories. It's 100 percent fat, and like all liquid oils, contains about 120 calories per tablespoon. So ration your intake to just 2 tablespoons of olive oil each day. Suzi List Owner health What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.
