Does Olive Oil Unclog Arteries?

Written By Emad Tawfik

The beneficial effect of olive oil (especially the extra virgin olive oil) is attributed mainly to its polyphenols. High LDL cholesterol contributes to atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis, depositing cholesterol in the artery wall and clogging the arteries of vital organs (like the heart, brain, and kidneys)

I grew up right across from Greece, in Alexandria , Egypt which is another great civilization. My wife however, grew up in Greece and I have had the great pleasure to travel there almost yearly for over a decade now. I immediately fell in love with the beauty of this country and of course the food and it wasn’t long before I realized what a vital role the Greek Olive oil plays in the Mediterranean diet and the taste of all the Greek dishes!
