I am using lot of olive oil, not in cooking, but in salads, it gives salads delicious flavour. Olive oil is good for everything. Internal health as well as for our skin. www.greek-olive-oil.com/health.html This link should give you all the information about benefits of olive oil.

Thanks for your interesting response and the link. Do you get olive oil in Israel easily? Is that expensive compared to other cooking oil? In India, it is prohibitively exhorbitant.

I have heard that olive oil is Gods gift to man. Its so nutritious. But we are unlucky cos we cant afford to use olive oil. It is very expensive in here and we use other oils such as corn, soya etc. I used olive oil in my kids food when they were very small.

I use olive oil on my body.It is extremely beneficial to skin and especially helpful for people having dry skin The older the oil the better it funtions! On regular usage the dryness of the skin vanishes and there's a noticeable glow provided the quality it good! Olive oil is really worth its value! Have tried it in salads too! It enhances the taste of salad as far as I have seen

Unfortunately, In India olive oil is not manufactured and it has to be imported and the cost is prohibitively exhobitant. Thanks for your interesting response.

My mom, uses olive oil for food! It protect us from Heart disease! It also contain Vitamin E! Olive Oil is well tollerated by the stomach. The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances!

If I not mistaken olive oil was originating from Greece and was make well known and widely use in France. Its widely use in food sector and health care products. I was once use it for my hair and I think the results was just so great. My wife sometimes use it on her cooking too and I think its a good ideas to encourages others to use this olive oils for either goods or body cares as it was such a healthy oil for human body.

I used olive oil for cooking for a long time as it is known to be healthier for health. Lately, however, my sis-in-law said that we should never use olive oil for deep frying as it causes cancer? How true is it? I have not read it anywhere? Maybe I should start a discussion on this.

For food almost every time I cook, although I don't use it on my body, my Nan swears by it on her body though!

Ha ha, I am OliveOil..so I can't resist responding to you..Studies have shown that Olive Oil has many benefits for our health. It contains antioxidant substances that give protection against heart disease. Good for those with high cholesterol level as it can control the bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise the good cholesterol (HDL). Our stomach takes olive oil very well, that's good news for people with stomach ulcers and gastritis. Helps in colour cancer prevention too. My mum tries using olive oil for cooking, but she complains that it makes the kitchen floor stickier than other oil...

I tried olive oil for preparing food but it is very bitter and smells different. When my son was born, I used to bathe him in olive oil.
