Researcher at State University of Rio de Janeiro Details Research in Chronic Disease (Olive Oil Consumption, Risk Factors, and Diseases: An Umbrella Review).

A recent study conducted at the State University of Rio de Janeiro examined the association between olive oil consumption and various health outcomes. The researchers conducted an umbrella review, which analyzed 17 systematic reviews of randomized trials and observational studies. The evidence suggests that olive oil consumption is beneficial for cardiovascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality. However, the evidence was less definitive for other outcomes such as inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, glucose metabolism, and blood lipid levels. The researchers recommend further studies, particularly randomized trials, to provide more conclusive evidence. [Extracted from the article]
