Olive oil consumption may lower apolipoprotein B levels

Olive oil may help lower apolipoprotein B (ApoB), a key predictor of heart disease risk. Studies suggest that replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated fats like those in olive oil can reduce ApoB levels by decreasing VLDL production and improving LDL clearance. While generally beneficial, some research indicates that very high olive oil intake might not further enhance lipid reductions in certain diets.
