The greatest exponent of monounsaturated fat is olive oil. Olive oil is the natural juice, which preserves the taste, aroma, vitamins, and properties of the olive fruit. Olive oil is the only vegetable oil that can be consumed as it is- freshly pressed from the fruit. People who consume about 2 tablespoons- of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week show less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood. This olive oil is in the purest form. It is a cold-pressed, cholesterol-free product.
