The secret of longevity: Olive Oil

Ancient Greeks believed that Virgin Olive Oil is beneficial to human health and recommended it for afflictions such as: Dermatological problems, Lacerations and burns, Gynecological diseases, Inducement of vomit, Ear infections
and Birth control.
Did you know that the average per capita consumption of olive oil on Crete is the highest of the world. Anzel Keys' renowned study of seven countries, which was published in 1980, revealed that the health level of Cretans was the highest in the world. Cancers and cardio-circulatory disease were rare, since out of 100.000 people on Crete, there were only 9 deaths attributed to these diseases as opposed to 466 in Finland. It was further proven that this was largely due to the dietary habits of the Cretan people, whose basic ingredient is olive oil.
