Bust Hunger With Olive Oil

Olive oil or butter? Your waistline prefers the former: European
researchers who compared lard, butter, rapeseed oil, and olive
oil have found that olive oil is the best for preventing overeating.
People given olive oil showed a higher level of the satiety hormone
serotonin in their blood than those who ate other fats. The study
also indicates that the oil's aroma compounds are responsible for
the effect- so be sure to take a whiff or two before you dig in.
