<pre>Just read an article in Prevention magazine, "How Healthy Is Your Olive Oil"
which suggests that the oleic acid in olive oil can protect against cancer.
Their analysis suggested that ratios of oleic/linoleic in different brands
can vary from 13.9 to 10.6. Does anyone know if the variability in
oleic/linoleic ratios a function of climate, variety or other factors?
