Harvard Med School rewrites "food pyramid" with olive oil a winner!
Here's some great news for all in the olive oil industry...
A book released by Harvard Medical School, the foremost medical research institution in the world, has claimed that the well known USDA (US Dept Ag) Food Guide Pyramid is "built on shaky scientific ground" and "distorted by the department's mission to promote agriculture". It has released it's own food pyramid, claiming that the USDA's model, which promoted breads, cereals and pasta in the "heavy use" section of their pyramid with oils in "use sparingly" section, is scientifically flawed. Harvard's own pyramid puts oils (including OLIVE OIL!) at the base of the pyramid, in the "use heavily" section. This is fantastic news for us! Read the full article(with images of the new and the old food pyramid) at the OlivesOrganic website: http://www.olivesorganic.com Cheers!
