A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical nutrition which focused on the effect of diet enriched with a monounsaturated fatty acid (olive oil) on cholesterol had surprising results. There was a significant decrease of mean total cholesterol (-9.5%), total apo B (-7.4%), LDL cholesterol (-12.2%), and total triglycerides (-25.5%) after subjects were given olive-oil-enriched diets. Total HDL- and HDL-subfractions-cholesterol levels as well as serum apo A-I mean levels remained unchanged. They concluded that olive oil may be a natural fat that can be used for the control of plasma and LDL cholesterol as a valid alternative to polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Also a recent study Published in the American Journal of Clinical nutrition concluded that monounsaturated fats such as olive oil benefits mood, decreases anger, and increases physical activity.
