Research Notes on High Cholesterol and Olive Oil
Studies have shown that olive oil helps lower cholesterol. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants making it a healthy choice.1 Including more olive oil in your diet not only helps lower your "bad" cholesterol (LDL), but helps raise your "good" cholesterol (HDL).2 Studies have shown that if you eat two tablespoons of olive oil a day your body will have more antioxidants, which is important in helping lower your cholesterol.
