Is extra virgin olive oil healthy when used in place of other sources of fat? does monousaturated fat in olive oil raise hdl?

Olive oil: Monounsaturated oil is a better choice than most oils. It does not raise hdl.

Good choice: Because of its fat profile (saturated and trans versus monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), olive oil is considered a better oil with which to cook.
