Abstract

This study investigated the association between olive oil (OO) consumption (differentiating between common and virgin varieties) and mortality. 12,161 Spanish adults were followed for 10.7 years. Results showed that high virgin OO consumption was associated with a one-third lower risk of all-cause mortality and half the risk of cardiovascular mortality, effects not seen with common OO. These findings suggest a need to re-evaluate dietary guidelines.
