By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaJun 29 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers conducted a systematic review to consolidate recent evidence on the preventive benefits of extra virgin olive oil on disease risk factors.
EVOO intake can reduce obesity risk, improving overall mortality. However, there is limited research on the specific daily amount of EVOO's ability to improve risk factors for chronic diseases. In dietary recommendations, there is little emphasis on distinguishing healthy fats like EVOO from other fats and oils.
The researchers only included randomized controlled trials with human participants that were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals in English and compared the cardiometabolic impacts of EVOO consumption to non-EVOO diets. Results In total, 34 of the 281 retrieved articles met the eligibility criteria and were considered for the final analysis, all of which were rated as 'positive' based on the ANDQCC assessment. Several references were included, including subgroup analyses of the Prevencion con Dieta Med trial.
Few trials have included patients with high initial fasting blood glucose or diabetes mellitus type 2; therefore, the impact of extra-virgin olive oil on the FBG in relation to other dietary regimes is unclear. Daily EVOO, on the other hand, can enhance sensitivity to insulin as evaluated by the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance compared to LF diets.
