I don't know if anyone else has posted anything about the health benefits of organic EVOO, but this is what I found and I was quite surprised by it..
"Beside the medical benefits, olive oil has also been used in the past in cosmetology. In fact, for someone with dry skin, olive oil and avocado make an excellent beautifying cream to apply to your face. (Schiaffino, 87) For the face, twice a week, an application of olive oil and lemon juice keeps wrinkles away. (Schiaffino, 87) If your nails break easily, leave your hands in a bath of warm olive oil and then wash them with iodide alcohol. (Schiaffino, 86) To whiten your teeth, massage regularly the gums with your finger dipped in olive oil. (Schiaffino, 86) Since olive oil coats your stomach, a tablespoon of olive oil before an appetizer, will allow you to drink and remain sharp and sober for a longer period."

I'm wondering where I'm going to find this organic EVOO though.. Might have to check it out at the health food store near me.
"A 50 gram dose (about 4 tablespoons) of extra-virgin olive oil supplies enough oleocanthal to produce an effect equivalent to that of about 10% of the ibuprofen dose recommended for adult pain relief. "
