Hi Martin and all,

Just a word of caution:

While the use of olive may contribute to lowering cholesterol levels and provide a healthily alternative to other types of oil, it is only one tool in the arsenal to fight heart disease. One’s genetic background, along with exercise and an overall healthily diet has as much, if not more to do with maintaining low cholesterol levels. Martin, like many be able to eat foods laden with fats and not be adversely affected, as it is likely their genetic background which allows them to do so.
