“…This anomaly was also seen in previous com- parisons of the olive oil diet to lower fat diets [11] [21]. Despite the similar weight loss and higher energy intake, the diet that included extra virgin olive oil resulted in lower levels of fasting glucose, insulin and HOMA.…”

“…This protocol was based on an earlier pilot study by the PI that compared the National Cancer Institute diet for women with breast cancer to the same plant-based, olive oil diet [11]. In that study, however, weight loss was greater on the olive oil diet compared to the lower fat diet.…”

“…Specifically, men in Greece and Spain consuming a traditional olive oil enriched Mediterranean diet have low rates of prostate cancer [10]. Plant-based diets that include olive oil may also increase vegetable intake relative to lower fat diets [11] [12] possibly due to the improvement in taste of the vegetables.…”

Recommendations for prostate cancer treatment include weight loss, but the most efficacious diet has not been determined. Men on active surveillance or with untreated biochemical relapse consumed both the diet recommended by the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and a plant-based that included three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day for 8 weeks of weight loss and improvement in some laboratory biomarkers with random assignment to the diet order. They then selected one of the diets for six months of follow-up. Thirty men started the protocol and 18 completed the 44 week study. Mean age: 66.6 ± 5.9 years; baseline body mass index: 30.9 ± 2.7 kg/m 2

The low incidence of cardiovascular disease in countries bordering the Mediterranean basin, where olive oil is the main source of dietary fat, and the negative association between this disease with high density lipoproteins has stimulated interest. This review summarizes the current knowledge gathered from human and animal studies regarding olive oil and high density lipoproteins. Cumulative evidence suggests that high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and its main apolipoprotein A1, may be increased by consuming olive oil when compared with carbohydrate and low fat diets in humans. Conflicting results have been found in many studies when olive oil diets were compared with other sources of fat. The role of virgin olive oil minor components on its protective effect has been demonstrated by a growing number of studies although its exact mechanism remains to be elucidated. Dietary amount of olive oil, use of virgin olive oil, cholesterol intake, and physiopathological states such as genetic background, sex, age, obesity or fatty liver are variables that may offset those effects. Further studies in this field in humans and in animal models are warranted due to the complexity of HDL particles.

“…us, it was revealed that an olive oil-enriched diet may be more efficacious for weight loss in breast cancer survivors than a standard lower-fat diet [16]. Until the early 1960s, the traditional recipe "Arkouy" from the mixture of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) powder and olive (Olea europaea L.) oil represented a sought-after food product in some localities of this region.…”

Until the early 1960s, the traditional recipe "Arkouy" from the mixture of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) powder and olive (Olea europaea L.) oil represented a sought-after food product in some localities of the Kabylian region (Northeastern Algeria). e present work attempted to improve this traditional recipe to obtain a natural candy from date (Phoenix dactylifera L.), olive (Olea europaea L.), and carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) fruits. For this, di erent formulations with various proportions of the date paste, olive paste, and carob powder were obtained using a constrained mixture design (proportion of date paste ≥ 0.7). e hardness and total color di erence in the CIELab system were adopted as dependent variables. For comparison purpose, the local commercial candy "Caprice" was taken as reference. In addition, the two formulations containing the three basic ingredients were analyzed for the overall acceptability, reducing power, and thermal analysis. At rst approximation, it can be said that the formulation containing 75% date paste, 20% carob powder, and 5% olive paste ensures a balance between the target values of texture and color. e obtained candy can be used as a dietary supplement for all categories of consumers, especially patients with swallowing di culties.
