Olive oil

Olive oil is approximately 71% monounsaturated, 16% saturated, and 13% polyunsatur[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]a[/FONT][/FONT]ted. Choose "extra virgin" olive oil, whic[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]h [/FONT][/FONT]comes from the first pressing of t[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]h[/FONT][/FONT]e olives and has higher quantities of antioxidants. Unlike most other oils on s[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]u[/FONT][/FONT]permarket shelves, extra virgin olive oil is not ex[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]t[/FONT][/FONT]racted with the use of harmful industrial solvents and is one of your healthiest choices for liquid oils. Try making your own salad dressing by mixing a small amount of olive oil with vinegar. This is healthier than most store bought salad dressings, which are usually made with highly processed and refined (chemically dam[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]a[/FONT][/FONT]ged) soybean oil extracted with industrial solvents.

There was a study of various olive oils done recently and half of the 'Extra Virgin' olive oil was just 'Virgin' and half of the 'Virgin' oilve oil was poor, industrial quality muck. So be wary of labels
