Many individuals do not realize that olive oil--a fat--is also a fat burner. Olive oil helps burn fat, optimize the body's metabolism, and may lessen oxidative stress on the heart. These findings are published in the October 2010 issue of Nutrition Journal. The researches opine that olive oil's phenolic compounds, specifically oleuropein and caffeic acid, may be responsible for these benefits.
