The accumulation of free radicals, as a result of oxidation in the body, causes serious problems on human health. More specific, free radicals destroy the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the membranes and the DNA (Fig 3), which facilitates the aging process, causes damage to the liver and even cancer formation. Our body is protected from the free radicals by free radicals scavengers such as vitamin-E and phenols. The latter, present in significant amounts in olive oil, prevents the human’s cell destruction. Greeks and Italians, who consume large quantities of virgin olive oil, intake almost 25gr of phenols per day, which is a significant amount for preventing oxidation.

For centuries the Greeks have prized oil for its therapeutic benefits and believed it to be the secret to beauty and longevity.

Studies show that extra virgin olive oil reduces many health risks from heart disease and diabetes to breast and prostrate cancer.

Olive oil’s main benefit is cardiovascular. Of all the commonly available oils, olive oil is the highest in monounsaturated fat. This type of fat is known to lower blood cholesterol levels.
