I love green olives! And a vodka on the rocks with olives is my default drink. Great to know that they're good for me too,

     bars, offer a host of health benefits. For starters, they're 
     rich in iron, vitamin E and copper, and are an excellent source 
     of fiber. But what about all the fat?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/07/02/14/olives_how_healthy_are_they_which_olives_are_best.htm"><P>It's true that olives do have some fat, but it's the incredibly 
     healthy monounsaturated variety. Monounsaturated fats have 
     been found to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and increase 
     HDL (good) cholesterol.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/07/02/14/olives_how_healthy_are_they_which_olives_are_best.htm"><P>However, olives contain a triple whammy for your health that 
     works in synergy to provide extreme benefits. Along with monounsaturated 
     fats, olives are rich in vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant 
     that neutralizes damaging free radicals, along with polyphenols 
     and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A3D60B6B-0E1C-4DD6-AD0A-53607F2346D9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
