Thanks for your comments. That olive oil allotment caught my attention, too. If memory serves me well, that olive oil was sent home with study participants to be shared among all household members, only one of which was likely to be enrolled in the study. So the oil would be split among 3-6 (?) people. -Steve Hi, Cindy. Thanks for your comments. That olive oil allotment caught my attention, too.

The small amount of nuts every day is there to up the levels of magnesium, which when coupled with the appropriate amounts of potassium and calcium help lower blood pressure, one of the indicators of metabolic syndrome. One thing leaves me mightily perplexed, though. The study had one group that consumed 1 liter of olive oil per week?? That works out to 9.5 tablespoons (143 mL) per day, or 1143 calories per day from olive oil. That seems pretty over the top... Interesting… this dovetails nicely with the DASH diet studies.
