Olive oil reduces risk of stroke, study finds

CONSUMING olive oil can help prevent strokes among the over-65s, experts have discovered.

Experts examined the medical records of more than 7,000 people aged 65 and over from Bordeaux, Dijon and Montpellier in France.

They compared people who never used olive oil with moderate users (using olive oil either for cooking or as a dressing) and intensive users (using olive oil for cooking and dressing).
