London, England (AHN) - Experts say that increasing olive oil in one's diet may help protect against cell damage that can lead to cancer. The study looked into 182 European men and discovered that 25 milliliters of olive oil per day decreases levels of a substance that signals cell damage. The Danish team said it may explain why cancer rates are higher in northern Europe. Southern Europe has lower cancer rates with olive oil as a major part of their diet. Source
