Olives are rich in both monounsaturates fatty acids and antioxidative substances. It offers protection against heart disease by controlling the LDL (�bad�) cholesterol levels while raising the HDL ("good") levels. Olives has a beneficial effect on ulcers and gastritis in the stomach and activates the secretion of bile and pancreatic hormones. Consequently, it lowers the incidence of gallstone formation. Without doubt one of the more healthy options!

-Nice in a Salad!!!
I love olives, especially stuffed with garlic, peppers or anchovies, absolute heaven, could eat them by the jar full!! Yum!!!!!!!!!
Just make sure Popeye doesn't catch you!
I can't stand olives, well only on my pizza but that's it. I make up though by using a good amount of olive oil in my cooking...



Im with raysparx, i only pop a couple in my mouth for the benefits.. I think the taste is rancid! I try to put them in my pasta's to hide the taste... They say to have a few like 5-6 during a couple alcohol drinks because the olives will fight the bad effects of alcohol in your body. (ie. aging)
