<pre>The article on the anti cancer effects of olive oil appeared in the September
issue of Prevention magazine, not exactly a scientific journal, (Mike
McGrath, How Healthy Is Your Olive Oil, Sept 1999, pg. 122). However, the
information that it sites comes from peer reviewed journals, which I admit I
haven't read. In addition to the suggestion that oleic acid protects against
breast cancer, while linoleic may be a potential cancer promoter, the article
asserts that some of the cancer protecting effects of olive oil ( colon
cancer and other cancers in lab animals) may be due to it squalene content.
