The Mediterranean diet, reputably one of the healthiest, is known to consume plenty of oil and olive products. Olive oil contains no cholesterol and is rich in mono-unsaturated fats, Vitamin E and Vitamin A. It is acknowledged that olive oil is a recognised substitute for other fats in the diet (e.g. Vegetable Oils, Mayonnaise and Margarines).
