Extra-virgin olive oil preserves memory, protects brain against Alzheimer's
- epalmer 9y agoI wonder what the route is in the brain? This is similar to the claims we hear about MCT oil.
- anentropic 9y ago> The researchers divided the animals into two groups, one that received a chow diet enriched with extra-virgin olive oil and one that received the regular chow diet without it. Wouldn't the olive-oil mice be getting more calories? Did they control against other oils?
- futun 9y agoOne wonders is this is actually just a case of monounsaturated fat vs. polyunaturated & saturated fats. Or something truly associated with olives.

- zafka 9y agoWhat changes nutritionally from first press to !(virgin) oil?? Is there really a big difference, or do people just like to say "Extra-virgin" ?
- hummel 9y agoThe difference is the Italians buy Spanish oil and rebrand them as their own. Only Spanish oils are the highest quality and can achieve the Extra-Virgin denomination. So there is a 99% of chances when you buy any Italian oil, that is not locally produced or Extra-virgin. Fraud as usual.
