Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will also share research on the health benefits of olive oil with respect to weight maintenance and longevity. To help put all this research into practice, Joseph R. Profaci, Executive Director of the North American Olive Oil Association, will provide a quick “Olive Oil 101” on what you need to know when you shop for olive oils.
