Antioxidants in Olive Oil

Dr. Guttersen's Tip of the Day

Brought to you by Sonoma Diet - a brand new and flavorful weight loss plan that brings together the art and science of flavor and nutrition.

Olive oil -- particularly the extra-virgin kind -- is rich in the same antioxidant phytonutrients that make all the other Sonoma Diet power foods so effective in preventing heart disease. Olive oil also contains carotenoids (like beta-carotene) and vitamin E. In addition, olive oil reduces the risk of high blood pressure and inflammation.
