FACT: Olives, like olive oil, contain phenolic compounds, which are natural antioxidants. It is this compound that gives olives their distinctive taste. Phenolic compounds in olive oil are considered to be a strong antioxidant, which protects your body from damaging environmental toxins as well as free radicals, according to a 2002 issue of “Medicinal Research Reviews.” The phenols may also be the reason for lower incidences of heart disease and some cancers for those who eat a Mediterranean diet high in olive oil and olives.
