*3 According to the European Food Safety Authority, which in 2012 recognized the positive effect of polyphenols on oxidative stress, officially, through the Health Claim included in European regulation 432 / 2012. There it is stated explicitly that "The polyphenols of olive oil contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress". A basic condition in the Health Claim of the European regulation 432 /2012 is the daily intake of 20 grams of olive oil which contains at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein and tyrosol)
Also, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes that consuming two tablespoons (20 - 25 grams) of olive oil daily can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. This is due to the monounsaturated fats in olive oil and at the same time suggests replacing saturated fats
