Consuming 25 grams of phenol-rich extra virgin olive oil increases the activity of genes involved in antioxidant defense in healthy adults within two hours.
Consuming 25 grams of phenol-rich extra virgin olive oil is linked to a measurable decrease in visceral adiposity index within two hours in healthy adults.
Consuming phenol-rich extra virgin olive oil changes the activity of genes involved in oxidative stress and inflammation in healthy adults within a short time, but it is not known whether these changes affect the risk of developing cardiovascular disease over the long term.
Regular consumption of extra virgin olive oil is associated with better cardiovascular health and improved liver health due to the presence of polyphenols.
