Olive Oil and Colon Cancer

Research shows a lower incidence of cancer with an 
increased consumption of olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil provides protection against colon cancer as well as breast and skin cancers, heart disease and some common affects of aging.

I'm happy just to know that olive oil is full of good stuff that helps prevent cancer and other diseases, but scientists are isolating specific compounds to learn more.

Research done at the University of Oxford shows that olive oil may be just as effective in the prevention of colon cancer as fresh fruits and vegetables. 

Don't forget though, vegetables and fruits offer lots of  other health benefits and need to be included in a healthy diet. As I talked about on the diet page, there is no one thing that will make you thin and healthy.
