The fats that we eat integrate themselves into all aspects of our physiology. When you enrich or your l d l lipo proteins with mono and saturated fat, it seems too dramatically reduce the risk that those particles are going to get oxidized. A few years ago i met with the head of the olive oil council in italy, who as a physician, said, you know, people need to understand that mono and saturatedFat is nothing unique but it's a carrier for the polypinals that are actually the beneficial part of olive oil. An that the more polypin alls that you have in olive oil, the better.
