This is a well-written explanation of the various types of olive oil, how it is processed, and why it is a good choice for health. Then this author talks about the research regarding the use of olive oil and how it helps with a variety of medical issues, including cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis (a real shocker), stroke, etc.
There are 18 different ways to use olive oil as a beauty benefit. I remember Elizabeth Taylor (in a magazine article) talking about how she only used olive oil on her face as a moisturizer.
The discussion on keeping olive oil from going rancid was worth reading. Don't choose olive oils in clear bottles; they should only be purchased in dark containers and stored away from the light. The info on olive oil myths should be required reading. Overall, I found this to be an interesting and useful guide to selecting and purchasing oil.
