WoW. I sure have learned a lot about Olive Oil lately. I had no idea. I love this site just for this reason. I love how the people come out to help each other.
I want everyone to know about olive oil now. These days we need all the help we can get from one another. So if you have an olive oil story, I want to hear it. Thanks
Olive oil is a good substitute for some other oils, but it is not a cure-all. It will not reduce your cholesterol magically. It will not act as a deterrent to diseases on its own.
These things take personal initiative such as exercise (did I say that???) and dieting. It also involves giving up a lo of bad things.
BUT- olive oil is good for you, and I think it tastes better than a lot of other oils
Location: Lots of sun and palm trees with occasional hurricane :)

If you use a really good, extra virgin brand, it's a good moisturizer for your skin.
Extra virgin breaks down faster than regular olive oil. It is more for non-cooking or adding to sauces than frying or saute'
Extra virgin is a great fry, saute' medium, I use is all the time, and it has totally replaced many other oils I used to use. Just about every cooking show will use extra virgin for the cooking.
Some olive oil and a touch of salt is tastier than butter. Try a little over pasta instead of a fancy sauce. It is fast and simple.
