Is it possible? Do you think that Olive Oil may help you achieve better health? An Italian study offers hope that a diet including olive oil may actually help reduce the risk of stroke. Again, it is a study and not confirmed. UNDERLINE the word MAY!
Older people who include olive oil in their diet may have a lower risk of stroke, a French study said, raising the possibility that the well-known connection between olive oil and heart disease may extend to strokes as well.http://www.neurology.org/content/early/2011/06/15/WNL.0b013e318220abeb.abstract
Objective: To determine whether high olive oil consumption, and high plasma oleic acid as an indirect biological marker of olive oil intake, are associated with lower incidence of stroke in older subjects
