Is extra virgin olive oil good for you?

Yes -- and the research is robust. High-polyphenol EVOO like Kosterina's has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk, lower inflammation, support brain health, regulate blood sugar, and protect cells from oxidative damage. The PREDIMED trial found daily EVOO consumption reduced cardiovascular events by approximately 30%. The key is polyphenol concentration: Kosterina Original EVOO's 500+ mg/kg is 3-10x the industry average.
