No I havent yet fried chicken in it for we dont really eat to much fried foods
as for thinning hair I need to tell this to son in law! he has long hair but to me its so ugly for it is so thin and has hardly any hair on top. But he wont cut it! or even lets us trim it as it might do better!

It's also an excellent hair conditioner! If you rub it through your hair and let it sit there for 20 minutes or so, then wash your hair as your normally would, it makes your hair so much softer!
I've done this and it really works!
Thanks for all the other great uses for olive oil! I always cook with it whenever anything needs oil.

Thanks, annjilena! I didn't know about using it for 8 days straight or to keep in in your hair overnight. I'll have to try that, especially now that my hair is VERY long and the winter heat will probably dry it out some.

I use extra virgin olive oil in my salads. It is quite expensive here in our country but it's okay I know this is a healthy oil so I don't mind spending my money for this. I don't use though for cooking because of it's low boiling point. I have not tried applying to my skin yet, maybe I should try. Thank you for your tips. I also do take a tbsp. orally all by itself whenever I remember. I'm very forgetful about things I don't normally do but perhaps I'd make it a daily habit starting today because of what you posted. Thanks!

i agree with you, olive oil has so much chemical properties beneficial to man. its even safe for frying anything and dressing salads. in fact i told my wife look i put the olive oil in the fridge and walla! no frozen cholesterol its like the day we bought it from the store. once, i happened to watch the news and it mentioned that the people in that area live longer than than most of europe. if i remember right it was in cyprus, they mentioned two towns there and they surmise it was their habit to take olive oil.
