Olive oil is substantially better than many other seed oil alternatives in terms of omega 6 content (too much omega 6 appears to be a problem, especially given how little omega 3 we get in the modern diet) [1] [2]. Extra virgin olive oil also has crazy high phenolic content for an oil, and polyphenols are well studied in their many beneficial impacts on health.

- MeImCounting 3y agoOh aside from "Dr. Fabio"'s blog these are some great sources about the health benefits of olive oil. Good to know, ill have to keep eating it;) I am somewhat shocked though to see such strong opinions about the health benefits of olive oil or the lack thereof. Here I thought it was just a tasty oil.
