Why is olive oil supposively...?!
So I've heard olive oil is good for your heart and everything but WHY is it at the top if the food guide pryamid and it says use fats and oils "sparingly"?
Answers:
There are "bad fats" and "good fats"
Good fats can be found in olive oil which is why studies show that it can be good and beneficial for your body.
However, fats regardless of being "good" or "bad" should all be used sparingly and eaten in moderation - because at the end of the day even if found to have good properties, fats are fat and not good for our bodies in high doses.
