Oleocanthal Isolated from The Governor Olive Oil Shows Striking Effects in a New Colorectal Cancer Study
A new study published in Nutrients this month asked an unusual question about oleocanthal – one of olive oil's most-studied phenolic compounds. Oleocanthal was already known to suppress colorectal tumors, and already known to reshape gut bacteria. But, are the two connected? The short version Researchers gave tumor-bearing mice purified...

Is a Small Dose of High-Phenolic Olive Oil Better Than a Larger Dose of Regular Olive Oil?
A 2025 clinical trial found that a small daily dose of high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil improved cholesterol levels more effectively than a larger dose of moderate-phenolic olive oil, even when both provided the same amount of polyphenols. The findings suggest that polyphenol concentration plays a key role in absorption...
