                                Recent studies have confirmed that olive oil, especially extra virgin, can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol while increasing "good" HDL cholesterol. However, as with any high-calorie food, the question arises: is too much olive oil bad for high cholesterol? The answer is nuanced and depends on total intake and dietary context.
