Benefits of Olive Oil

People tend to steer clear when they hear the word oil. That's the right move when it's hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil, but you shouldn't be scared of consuming all oils. Olive oil, which is rich in monounsaturated fats, is highly recommended by the FDA.
Olive oil can help prevent stomach ulcers, heart disease, and certain types of cancers. Olive oil also doesn't raise your cholesterol levels and keeps your skin looking great. 
Olive oil is a big part of the Mediterranean Diet (to read more about this diet click here)
