Nutritional science is vastly complicated yet so important.
We get good and useful information one painstaking piece at a time.
Good work and thanks to these researchers.

Absolutely true. But be sure to buy pure, unadulterated olive oil--read label carefully.

"Eating unsaturated fats, like those in olive oil along with leafy greens and other vegetables creates a certain kind of fatty acid that lowers blood pressure, scientists say."
Keyword here are "along with".
Combinations are the keypoint, and a similar reaction was found combining olive oil with tomato boosting antioxidant value of vitamin C*.

Be sure not to use extra virgin olive oil for frying food. It is not for that purpose and will make it worst. Extra virgin olive oil is for dipping, spray it on salad or mix with red wine vinegar for bread (yummy).
