The BBC reports on a research conducted at Copenhagen University Hospital, in which scientists added 25
millilitres either virgin, common or refined olive oil to the diets of 182 men for two weeks. At the end of study, when researchers measured levels of the
substance which indicates oxidative damage to cells, called 8oxodG, in
the men’s urine, they discovered that the men were found to have around 13 percent less 8oxodG compared with their levels at the beginning of the study. Read more from BBC.
