The reason that green tea has more health benefits attached to it than black tea is (apparently) due to the processing. Black tea is processed in a way that allows for fermentation whereas green teaâs processing avoids the fermentation process.
3. Eating Olive Oil Can Help Prevent Cancer. A review conducted by Greek researchers from the University of Athens published last year of 19 observational studies, with over 36,000 participants, found that higher rates of olive oil consumption were associated with lower odds of having any type of cancer.
Olive oil's health benefits derive from high concentrations of monounsaturated fat, which comprise about 70-80 percent of the oil's total fat. Due to its low smoking point, around 375 degrees Fahrenheit, olive oil's key phenols, which work as antioxidants to preserve heart health, begin to degrade at high heats.
