Does olives helps prevent heart attack?
There are many scientific studies that suggest that olive oil helps prevent and treat heart disease. Studies have shown that olive oil offers protection against heart disease by controlling LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels while raising HDL ("good" cholesterol) levels. No other naturally produced oil has as high as a percentage of mono-unsaturated fat as olive oil. It appears that people who consumed 23ml - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of anti-oxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood. But while all types of olive oil are sources of mono-unsaturated fat, extra virgin olive oil (and especially the higher quality ones) contains higher levels of anti-oxidants, particularly vitamin E and phenols, because it is less processed.
On the other hand, olive oil is 100% fat. (Read the label.) One tablespoon of olive oil contains 120 calories and of those, 120 calories are from fat. Whole olives do not fare much better calorie wise, but at least the meager trace nutrients have not been discarded.
If you want to reduce heart attack risk, you won't do it by adding more fat from olive oil. You must reduce fat (especially animal fat) and then replace what is left with fats from sources like olive oil, nuts and seeds.
When "studies show," the question is whether they show a consequence that results from "adding" or "replacing" or "restricting to" a type of food. Obviously, replacing bad stuff is going to work a lot better than keeping it while taking in additional foods.
Why are olives fruits not vegetables?
They grow on small olive trees. Anything edible such as apples, pears, nuts (a hard-shelled fruit) that contain seeds or a pit is a fruit.
Certainly, olive branches would seem to have been more available than palm branches on the Mount of Olives, but the original story of Palm Sunday did not actually feature palm branches.
Mark's Gospel was the earliest of the New Testament gospels and in this Gospel, it is not palm leaves, but leafy branches that are spread on the road. Mark 11:8-9 says (NAB), "Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says the story came from the Jewish Sukkoth festival, which was actually held at an entirely different time of year:The ]ewish eight day celebration of the harvest, known as Sukkoth, and also called the Festival of the Tabernacles or Booths, was probably the most popular holiday among the Jews in the first century. In the observance of Sukkoth, worshippers processed through Jerusalem and in the Temple, waving a bunch of leafy branches made of willow, myrtle and palm. As they waved these branches in that procession, the worshippers recited words from Psalm 118, the psalm normally used at Sukkoth. Among these words were "Save us, we beseech you, O Lord." Save us in Hebrew is hosianna or 'hosanna'. This is typically followed by "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. (Psalm 118:25-6).
Mark took the Sukkoth traditions and transferred them from autumn to the Passover season for the procession story. Because the Passover season is too early for 'leafy branches' (except palms), John changed this to 'palm branches', creating our modern tradition of Palm Sunday. But in the earliest account, leafy branches were used, and these could have included olive branches. However, as these were not really available at that time of year, the conclusion is that this story began as an elaboration to demonstrate a capricious and unpredictable character in the Jerusalem people, who would shortly demand the crucifixion of Jesus.
