[quote=http://www.medicaldaily.com/olive-oil-c ... hal-322904]By the time you finish watching your favorite TV drama, somewhere in a faraway lab the cancer cells will already be dead. Oleocanthal, the primary phenolic compound found in extra-virgin olive oil, has been shown to eradicate cancer cells in less than an hour, giving scientists hope that targeted drug options in the future may be possible.

A team of researchers from Rutgers University and Hunter College published their recent study in the journal Molecular & Cellular Oncology. The findings add even more firepower to the argument in favor of olive oil, which has been shown in prior studies to shield our bodies against air pollution, improve our immune systems, protect aging bones, and perhaps even prevent the slide into Alzheimer’s disease.[/quote]

so basically, eat more unheated extra virgin olive oil? Seems easy enough.

Except that 40% of all extra virgin oil is not.  Lots of fraud going on. 

PERHAPS that sharp taste at the back of your tongue indicates the real stuff.

Could you elaborate on your feelings on what kind of olive oil to get?  It's my go-to cooking oil (though I'm trying to include butter & bacon grease, as well as hopefully some other things like coconut oil or whatever else folks here recommend).

I don't usually cook with it, but I love to eat the super dark green stuff raw on bread and salads.
I get the fancy stuff, not because I'm a foodie but because I've read numerous articles about the swill on supermarket shelves.
