Harun Yahya

Patrizia Galletti of the Second University of Naples, Faculty of
Medicine and Surgery:
Dietary intake of olive oil polyphenols may lower the risk of reactive
oxygen metabolite-mediated diseases such as some gastrointestinal dis-
eases and atherosclerosis. Olive oil hydroxytyrosol protects human ery-
throcytes against oxidative damage.

Frank Sacks of the Harvard School of Public Health:
An olive-oil-rich diet is more effective than a low-fat diet in controlling
and treating obesity. Moreover, it leads to longer-lasting weight loss and
it is easier to keep to…
As we have seen, a great many scientists today think that an olive
oil-based diet constitutes the ideal nutritional
model. It is stated that on account of these
properties, olives and olive oil should be the
fundamental constituents of every meal in
one's daily nutrition programme. The benefits
of the olive plant, emphasised by Allah in

many verses of the Qur'an, have been discov-
ered in parallel to the advances made by
medical science.
It is He Who sends down water from
the sky. From it you drink and from
it come the shrubs among which
you graze your herds. And by it He
makes crops grow for you and
olives and dates and grapes and
fruit of every kind. There is cer-
tainly a Sign in that for people
who reflect. (Qur'an, 16:10-11)
