To say a search of the University of Siena, presented today at the Region of Tuscany in Florence. The study, conducted by a team led by Professor Marina Ziche together with researchers Sandra Donnini and Erika Terzuoli , pointed out that the extra virgin olive oil is one of the main sources of polyphenols, a group of chemicals with antioxidant properties and potential beneficial effects on human health. But not all oils are the same, in fact, a common extra virgin olive oil may contain from 100 to 250 mg of polyphenols, IGP Tuscan extra virgin mind that it contains at least 450 mg . According to the researchers , a polyphenol olive oil ( the dihydroxyphenil Dpe or ethanol ) , according to various international studies has antioxidant properties , anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic . In our laboratory we have identified the molecular mechanism by which Dpe helps to inhibit the progression of colon cancer . The beneficial effects , they explain, are obtained with amounts equal to those used feeding , equal to about 40 grams per day, or 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin , preferably raw. The research was funded by the Consortium with 30 thousand euro olive oil extravegine Toscano IGP.
