A Little Virgin Stops Ulcers: Who Knew?

Got ulcers? Know someone who does? Grab a virgin.

Olive oil, that is.

Yep, the antioxidants found in extra-virgin olive oil (or EVOO ), may put the kibosh to stomach ulcers by squashing the H. pylori bacteria, which is a cause of ulcers.

Says a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, all you need is a couple teaspoons a day to get the benefits.

Try preparing your chicken or fish with EVOO instead of veggie oil, or add some to your salad dressing for that extra boost.

Long live the virgin!!
