Olive Oil can cut Cancer Risks

Adding plenty of olive oil to a diet could help protect against cell damage that can lead to cancer, experts say.

A study of 182 European men found those who had 25 millilitres of olive oil per day had reduced levels of a substance which indicates cell damage. The study sponsored by the Denmark Copenhagen University Hospital Researchers found that South Europeans who have rich Olive oil diet have reduced levels of cell damage compared with Northern European counterparts. Dr. Anthea Martin advised however: "Although this study suggests that olive oil can reduce DNA damage that could lead to the development of cancer, more long-term research is needed to confirm these effects."

She added: "We do know that a healthy, balanced diet, including plenty of vegetables and fruit and limited amounts of red and processed meat, can help reduce the risk of cancer." With the balanced diet and Olive oil you can use them to fight cancers. Olive Oil also helps reduce cholesterol and adds taste to the cooking. So instead of vegetable oil or corn oil, you can use Olive oil. It is expensive but the health benefits far outweighs the costs.
