QuestionI need to ask you about olive oil. Is olive oil good or bad for health. There are many different kind of olive oil. Which ones is good to lower cholestrol?
AnswerHi, Sudha
The basic answer to your question is that olive oil is not bad for your health. There are claims that it has heart healthy properties and one of the main oils used in Mediterranean style cooking.
What I suggest, however, is that you use as little oil as possible in your cooking (try using water). And, stick to oils such as olive oil. To get the most benefits from olive oil, choose virgin and extra virgin olive oil. (My preference is extra virgin.)
I hope that helps.
