Olive oil is extraordinarily rich in health benefits
The IOC Executive Secretariat recently convened the Organization’s scientific committee of nutrition experts on Tuesday, February 27, 2024. Studying and disseminating the countless health benefits of olive oil – the healthiest calories one can consume – is one of the IOC’s main lines of work, spearheaded by the Standardization and Research Unit. The virtual meeting provided an opportunity for nutrition experts to take stock of the current status of the olive sector in terms of nutrition and to delve into various topics, including specific nutritional claims and mineral oils. Additionally, the IOC updated its experts on forthcoming events aimed at disseminating the nutritional and health benefits of olive oil.
In collaboration with the University of Navarra, the Organization hosts the “Olive Health Information System (OHIS)”, a platform dedicated to regularly disseminating scientific research showcasing the diverse health advantages of olive oil, which range from mitigating cardiovascular diseases to combating degenerative conditions, among countless others. Stay tuned with the IOC’s website, where a new study is published every Friday, further enhancing awareness regarding the health benefits associated with the consumption of olive oil and other olive tree by-products.
