Re: An interesting article from the British Daily "The Guardian"

<pre>I agree that Vit C and E are both antioxidants. But Vitamin C which is
water soluble is not found in olive oil.

The antioxidants in olive oil are - phenolic compounds, tocopherols (Vit
E), carotene and funily enough chlorophyll (green pigment) is
antioxidant in the dark but an oxidant in light (involved in
photo-oxidation) and hence one of the reasons for storing olive oil in
dark bottles or out of the light.
