Why low-fat isn't always the best option...

Erica Cave — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 06:00:00 +0100

A great deal of research has been done lately concerning the benefits of eating healthy fats such as the Monounsaturated fats in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Not only do these fats help lower cholesterol, they also allow your body to better absorb fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D and E, which are essential to good health. Olive Oil is the most potent source of monounsaturated fats and Extra Virgin Olive Oil packs the punch of powerful antioxidants to boot!
