Olive Oil Emerges as the Healthier Fat, Experts Say

Nutrition experts say olive oil is generally healthier than butter due to its higher unsaturated fats and links to lower heart disease risk; butter is high in saturated fat, and replacing butter with plant-based oils is associated with lower mortality in large studies. Butter can be enjoyed in moderation, but olive oil is recommended for everyday cooking to support heart and metabolic health, per the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines and expert guidance.

Harvest Date Hack: Is Your Olive Oil Actually Pure?

A BuzzFeed-style piece explains that the best way to verify olive oil quality is to check for a harvest date on the bottle. If no harvest date is listed, the oil may not be 100% olive oil and could be a blend from multiple harvests or regions; “best before” dates reflect bottling age rather than harvest, and while dark glass helps protect flavor, packaging can’t fix old or low-quality oil.

Pepper and Olive Oil: Tiny Tricks to Boost Your Nutrient Uptake

Adding black pepper and olive oil can boost how well your body absorbs nutrients. Pepper’s piperine may block intestinal transporters to raise uptake, while tiny fat droplets in olive oil help fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) dissolve and enter the bloodstream; olive-oil–based nano-delivery research and dressings can further improve carotenoid absorption. Practical takeaway: pairing nutrient-rich foods with a little fat (and pepper) could enhance absorption, though a balanced diet remains key and some individuals may benefit from targeted supplements.
