A viewer Shane Creamer alerted me to the following great article in Nutrient magazine in 2015 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4586551).
This was an excellent study looking at the science behind the effect of olive oil on CV inflammation. The Cochrane clinical trial meta-analysis processes were used well. There were 30 studies that met the criteria. These included a total of 3106 participants.
Olive oil showed improvement in C-reactive protein, flow-mediated dilation, and interleukin 6. There are differences between things such as supplementation vs. diet. There was some comparison to other oils, but these comparisons were not so clear in terms of the study write-up.
