"Olive oil contains all the vitamins and nutrients of the olive. Its filled with antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients that may protect against illnesses. Studies have shown that organic olive oil can help protect against heart disease, promote healthy digestion, ease the symptoms of ulcers & inflammation of the lining of the stomach, decrease gallstone formation, and may also benefit blood sugar control. Studies show that people who ate 2 tablespoons of olive oil daily for one week show less of the “bad fats” and higher levels of antioxidants in their blood." -Lori Solem MA, RD, LD
