Have you ever wondered if there is a type of olive oil healthier than the other? It is common knowledge that extra virgin olive oil reduces the risk of heart disease. But did you know that non-virgin olive oil is also heart healthy?

According to the FDA, olive oil is heart healthy regardless of whether it was extra virgin or not.

The heart benefits of olive oil are attributed to the fatty acids. For example, extra virgin olive oil has more phenols than regular olive oil but the same high monounsaturated fatty acid content.

The phenols in extra virgin olive oil are associated with a wide range of health benefits such as cancer prevention, improvements in metabolism, and reduction of inflammation. But non-virgin olive oil has also proven to improve heart health.
