Olive oil antiinflammatory effect

Interesting report in New Scientist recently showing that 50mls per day of olive oil in the diet is equivalent to a dose of ibrupfofen.  We are increasingly recognising the impact of diet on disease processes.  Expect to see new ranges of neutraceuticals:  products with nutrition as well as therapeutic effects.  Many of these will be artificial creations such as bananas which contain a vaccine.
