This report reviews the literature for the effect of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on blood pressure.
"This report focuses on studies examining the effect of olive oil on blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) and lipoproteins (LDL, VLDL, and HDL). It is the first in a series of reports that summarize published studies examining the effect of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on clinical risk factors for chronic diseases. These reports provide clinicians with science-based information and practical advice on how to teach patients to incorporate EVOO into the diet."
