Olive Oil Wins FDA Qualified Health Claim

July 2005

Olive oil has more going for it than its abilities as a great oil for cooking. It's also good for the cardiovascular system. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that olive oil labels may now state that there is "limited and not conclusive" evidence that the monounsaturated fat from olive oil may lower the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), the number one killer of men and women in the U.S. Olive oil manufacturers may now say that eating about two tablespoons of olive oil daily—without increasing daily caloric intake—may reduce the risk of CHD.
