Tag: Olive oil and water

According to a 2014 study published in the *Journal of Renal Nutrition*, consuming a small amount of olive oil daily was as effective as mineral oil at relieving constipation in hemodialysis patients.

Oil and water don't naturally mix due to their differing chemical properties, a phenomenon that has direct implications for the query, **can I mix olive oil with water to drink**. While consuming olive oil is generally safe, doing so in an un-emulsified water mixture may present unexpected challenges and is not necessary to gain its nutritional advantages.
