No-added-oil mediterranean diet: A novel aging deceleration diet?
The Mediterranean diet has been associated with reduced morbidity and mortality as well as increased longevity. This dietary pattern relies heavily on fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, nuts, and occasionally fish and olive oil. Olive oil, despite being calorie-dense and nutrient-poor, was h...

Olive oil, despite being calorie-dense and nutrient-poor, was hailed as the hallmark of the healthy Mediterranean diet.
