Olive oil consumption has a very positive effect on blood cholesterol. Olive oil limits the oxidizing of bad cholesterol (cause of artillery skilorsus and heart disease) because it


is rich in anti-oxidizing agents.


Olive oil contains a series of compounds that are very beneficial to most functions of the human body and its' biological and therapeutic value is related in many aspects to its chemical structure.


The first aspect is its triglyceride composition, made up of fatty acids. Olive oil has a prevalence of monounsaturates, oleic acid principally, while animal fats are fundamentally made up of saturated fatty acids and seed oils of polyunsaturates.


Monounsaturated fatty acids are much more stable. Olive oil also has a low percentage of polyunsaturates and this is important because these kind of fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body.


The second aspect is in its minor components. The most salient ones are the tocopherols and polyphenols. These components have a major antioxidant function and are closely connected with virgin olive oils because refining processes alter and remove them.


Olive oil, as with any fatty substance, deteriorates during the frying process especially if it is used over and over and if the frying temperature is very high. High temperature destroys the good ingredients of any oil while it creates harmful agents for the liver, the arteries and the heart.


It is important however to take into consideration that these harmful agents are less likely to be created in olive oil than in all other known vegetable oils and this is because olive oil has a different composition. It contains a high percentage of oleic acid, which is much more resistant to oxidization than the polyunsaturated acids, which are found in large amounts in seed oils. But more importantly olive oil contains natural anti-oxidizing agents such as phenols and vitamin E. When heated, olive oil is the most stable fat, which means it stands up well to high frying temperatures. Its high smoking point (210潞 C) is well above the ideal temperature for frying food (180潞 C).Can any one tell me if Olive Oil is good to use for a person having very high cholesterol problem?

Isn't olive oil an omega 3?





I dunno. Never burned olive oil.
we generlly know that oil always have some level of cholsterol and on the contrary will mean that olive oil will not be a propper solution, except it is been treated propperly to serve the purpose since it is also medicinal.
Olive oil is an excellent source of omega-3 acids and it should be used as the main cooking oil of your diet. Omega-3 acids contains the ';good'; cholesterol HDL which in term helps to remove your ';bad'; cholesterol LDL. Anything that is heated to a high degree would create molecular change, often create carcinogens, olive oil should be just lightly heated (not fry) when cooking with food to retain the original molecular structure. You should consult other natural remedies on top of olive oil to stabilize cholesterol level, please refer to teh list of top natural food for lowering cholesterol http://www.cureshare.com/view_condition.鈥?/a>
Foods that contain a high proportion of saturated fat are butter, ghee, suet, tallow, lard, coconut oil, cottonseed oil.





#1 Olive oil is a mono unsaturated oil, though it has the property of all fats leading to accumulation. It is the best amongst oils and it is suggested for people with cardio-vascular disease.





#2 Any food be it carb, protein, when too much in amount leads to obesity by accumulation(adipose tissue), so FAT isn't the only culprit :)





#3 The Italians generously use olive oil, $ their food is all the more heavy- pastas, spaghetti, pizzas etc.. but they are hale %26amp; healty just b'coz of the virgin olive oil.
Olive oil is very good for you.. not to throw you off.. but the number one food to eat that literally is the next best thing to medication.. is Oatmeal.. eat it everyday.. and it will lower your cholesterol.. I eat it every day.. Monday through Friday.
Look into Coconut Oil, I read this long article on it and the dramatic effects it has on cholesterol problems. My local health store sells it like crazy!
I would think so, but if unsure then ask your dr. Don't know about the burning.
Yes it is, and also fish oil, or oily fish. That does not mean fish cooked in oil or grease.
All oils are bad for everyone, esp. ppl with hight cholesterol.

If u heat oil, it become more hydrogenated and contains more and more saturated fat. THAT';S BAD!!
