It was the University of Bordeaux that examined the people and found that the people who used olive oil had 41% lower risk for stroke.
Thats major news! Scientists now have not only this study but a number of studies that show that olive oil, or a Mediterranean diet as its called helps ward off a number of illnesses like heart disease, cancer, and more. With the added data about olive oil it bolsters the need for the oil in having a healthy diet and that has major ramifications.
Lets say that the US citizens used olive oil regularly like people in Europe and Africa. The savings on health related issues could drop remarkably thus offsetting the expensive costs of caring for the illnesses and follow up care as well as dropping the need for pharmaceuticals and more.
