Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Olive Oil, Sunbathing, and Health by Chet Day Scientists recently discovered that you may protect yourself against skin cancer by rubbing extra-virgin olive oil on your body after you spend time in the sun. Interestingly, cheaper non-virgin olive oil had less effect. The hairless mice in the study who used the top-of-the-line oil developed smaller, fewer, and less life-threatening tumors when they were put under a strong ultra-violet lamp three times a week for five minutes a session. So use that extra-virgin olive oil on your salads and on your body after sun bathing. I personally use organic brands only. Of course the people in Italy have known about the virtues of olive oil practically forever and that's one reason the Mediterranean Diet is so healthy For more on the Mediterranean Diet, check out: http://chetday.com/mediterraneandiet.html "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."
