The Claim
A single 25-gram dose of phenol-rich extra virgin olive oil is associated with a reduction in visceral adiposity index within two hours in healthy adults.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

See the scientific wording
A single 25-gram dose of phenol-rich extra virgin olive oil is associated with a reduction in visceral adiposity index within two hours in healthy adults, suggesting an acute effect on metabolic fat distribution markers.
After consuming phenol-rich olive oil, hydroxytyrosol enters the bloodstream and turns on genes that make more antioxidant enzymes. These enzymes clean up harmful molecules that damage cells, which changes how the body stores and moves fat, leading to a faster drop in belly fat markers.
