Olive Oil -Gives Pain Relief in Scientific Study (humans)
http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs...oil_print.html
or http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs.../oliveoil.html The study began because someone noticed that the "aftertaste sting" of ibuprofen and olive oil was quite similar. Breslin, a sensory scientist at Philadelphia's Monell Chemical Senses Center, and his colleagues then decided to analyze the chemical compounds within olive oil to find out what was causing the sting. Most of these compounds remain unnamed. One compound, which the researchers named "oleocanthal" after the root words for "olive" and "sting," was found to inhibit certain enzymes that can lead to inflammation and the dull, continuous pain that often results from swelling. The over-the-counter drug ibuprofen, sold under such common trademarks as Advil, Motrin and Nuprin, inhibits the exact same enzymes that oleocanthal does. It is hypothesized that this chemistry may be part of the reputation of Olive Oil as being "healthy". ---------------- use link for full story ---------------------- -- 1) Eat Till SATISFIED, Not STUFFED...
