Everyone knows olive oil is good for you and will benefit you in many ways i.e. It's heart healthy, It lowers LDL levels and helps raise HDL levels, It lowers triglyceride levels, helps stabilize blood sugar and the list goes on. My question is this; How much oil olive can one consume daily? After all, 1 tsp. contains 14g of fat? although 10 grams of that fat is monosaturated (healthy fat), what is the suggested of olive oil intake daily? I hear people in the Mediterrian actually drink a 1/4 of a cup a day and eat it with everything. It's also reported they have the lowest heart disease rate on the globe with an exception of Japan. So again, how much is ok to consume on a daily basis?
