Published 2013 in Unknown venue

ABSTRACT

Comparing the nutritional content of food to individual health status, there are several con‐ siderations that can be informative and raise troubling concerns. For many decades, re‐ searchers have investigated the relationships between health status and consumption of extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil (and oleic acid) is considered important for the prevention and coronary heart disease. While the biomolecular aspects involving G protein need further research, oleic acid levels in platelets may be a discriminating factor, together with linoleic and arachidonic acid, for coronary heart disease. There is still a huge debate regarding the effects of oleic acid alone or in combination with antioxidants.
