Thank you for that! I believe one of the many great benefits of olive oil must be the relatively small amount of omega-6 it contains, or at least the low ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.

Ancel Keys data has since been expanded to cover 24 countries proving his assertions off base. Recently significant problems have been found with studies used by the American Heart Association in creating the advisory to decrease saturated fat and increase polyunsaturated fat (without regard for the proper balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the blood and tissues) and irresponsibly suggesting a high level of omega-6 intake (not supported by the research). I highly suggest the latest: http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.e8707.
