Question: The woman is a 120 yr old Israeli woman.....The article says that she drinks one glass a day of olive oil....Is this a safe and healthy thing to do? I would think it would clog up a persons arteries.

One of the most healthiest oils ever known to man...like the extra virgin coconut oil...so i think its possible..
Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, which can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing the bad cholesterol levels in your blood.
Contrary to saturated and trans fats like butter, cooking oils and margarines which increase your risk of heart disease by increasing your bad cholesterol levels.
According to some research, consuming about 2 tablespoons of olive oil a day may reduce your risk of heart disease. What more can it do if you drink one glass a day?
All types of olive oil provide monounsaturated fat, but "extra-virgin" or "virgin" olive oils are the least processed forms. As a result, they contain the highest levels of polyphenols, a powerful antioxidant. Isn't it amazing?
That's why Popeye's wife Olive is so slim and healthy..(huh?)
So make sure you use olive oil everyday in your daily cooking...that's if you can afford it:)
