Olive Oil may reduce the risk of Coronary Heart Disease

There are 2 Seagate products which as so important that the FDA has allowed us to make “qualified health claims”. On February 2, we posted an article about the qualified health claim permitted by the FDA for Omega-3 Shark Liver Oil. The FDA has also permitted us to use the following “qualified health claim for our Olive Oil:

“Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about 2 tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil. To achieve this possible benefit, olive oil is to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day. One serving of this product contains [x] grams of olive oil.”

This benefit from olive oil is directly the result of its fatty acid oleic acid, which is approx. 87% of the composition of our olive oil.  For more detailed information by the FDA allowing these “Qualified Health Claims” for Olive Oil and Omega-3 Shark Liver Oil allowed by FDA , go to their webpage.

Seagate provides Extra Virgin Olive Oil both in capsules and in half-liter bottles. Take it daily as a supplement, or pour it over salads, cook with it, dip your bread in it, and figure any other creative way to be able to consume olive oil on a daily basis  … it is that important for your health.
