Can this lengthen your life by as much as 9 and 1/2 years? After analyzing the diets of 92,000 people over a period of 23 years, Harvard researchers found that those who consumed more of this food substance had a 19% lower risk of death during the period of the study. In a similar study of 19,000 people conducted in Italy, researchers found that those who consumed the highest amount of this food substance lived 9 and 1/2 years longer. The food substance they were studying was extra virgin olive oil. It should be noted that the longest-lived population in the world, the Okinawans, consumed very little oil and had equal longevity. So, to get healthy now, use extra virgin olive oil, if you use any oil at all.
