Consuming a half tablespoon of olive oil every day may lower dementia risk by 28%, according to a multi-decade study.
However, although olive oil has many positive benefits, there are caveats.
In this Daily Dose, Dr. Mitch Ghen discusses the study and explains olive oil facts you should be aware of like:
– Olive oil, when exposed to heat, produces acrylamides, a substance linked with cancer.
– It’s highly caloric, making overconsumption easier.
– And if not stored properly, olive oil begins to succumb to oxidative damage (which contributes to inflammation in the body).
