Extra olive virgin oil keeps healthy properties when used for cooking

(University of Barcelona) Consuming extra virgin olive oil has proved to have protecting effects for the health, especially due to its antioxidant content. However, there are not many studies on whether it is the best oil to use when cooking. A study by the University of Barcelona stated this kind of oil keeps the levels of antioxidants -regarded as health- when used for cooking in the Mediterranean cuisine. These results could be relevant for future nutritional guidelines.
