Olive oil is good for you.
And extra virgin olive oil would seem like a real panacea.

And perhaps it is in this precious food that the Mediterranean diet continues to excel in studies compared to other types of diets.

In short, extra virgin olive oil could be the real secret to staying healthy, especially if we are women.

OLIVE OIL IS GOOD FOR THE BREAST

According to a recent study, in fact , the use of extra virgin olive oil in our daily diet would reduce the risk of breast cancer by 62% .

And it would be better to abound in olive oil instead of trying a fat-free diet if we want to do prevention.

The study, published in Jama Internal Medicine , was conducted in Spain.

The researchers studied a sample of about five thousand women aged 60 to 80 with cardiovascular health problems, considered to be at risk of breast cancer.

The sample was divided into three groups.

Those who used more olive oil in their diet daily had less risk than those who consumed more walnuts and those who consumed less fat in general.

In particular, it was found that a low-fat diet was not preventative at all compared to groups 1 and 2, where the incidences of breast cancer were very low.

The study was conducted for 5 years.
