thought beneficial for health. Major components of the phenolic fraction of olive
oil, lignans and pinoresinols are potent antioxidants present in extra virgin (first
pressed) oils. Containing vitamins E and F, other antioxidant compounds, foods containing
high amounts of lignan precursors may be protective against breast, colon, and prostate
cancer, as well as heart diseases. Used mainly in cooking today, olive oil has been
used for medicines and in cosmetics. (NCI04);
