Olive Oil and Improved Cognitive Function

A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Internal Medicine) noted that:

"In an older population, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with olive oil or nuts is associated with improved cognitive function."

The study was conducted over a 6-year period and drew these conclusions after putting several hundred study participants through a series of cognitive tests. Those that had a diet which included olive oil showed improved results in those tests.
