Good news! Spoonful of Olive Oil could do this Here's some positive news: "Mounting evidence suggests adding just a spoonful of olive oil to your diet each day can have powerful health benefits. A new study from the US suggests this includes protection against dementia. "While healthy 'Mediterranean' diets in general tend to include a dash of olive oil, the researchers claim the ingredient itself stands out for its beneficial qualities." "Researchers found adults who regularly consumed more than 7 grams of olive oil a day (about half a tablespoon) were 28 percent less likely to die of dementia-related diseases compared to those who never or rarely consumed olive oil."

@Maver1ck : A few years back when I had blood work done, my cholesterol level was slightly high. I started making my own spreadable butter with olive oil and cooking with olive oil instead of other fats. The next time I had bloodwork done, my cholesterol levels were in the normal range. I'm glad I made the change and I do not miss other fats. It giving me protection against dementia is just another added benefit. Thanks for the info!
