Olive Oil for Breast Cancer: Can it reduce the risk?
One of the reasons researchers believe olive oil may play a protective role is because olive oil—in particular extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)— contains several bioactive compounds, such as monounsaturated fatty acids, triterpenes, and polyphenols which have been associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits and possibly even anti-cancer effects.
