Off and on over the last three years or so, his chickens have been eating a specially milled diet laced with oregano oil and a touch of cinnamon.

But Mr. Sechler said that nothing he had used as a substitute in the past worked as well as oregano oil.

Oil of oregano is a perennial one, advertised as a cure for just about everything, #said Scott Gavura,

The oregano oil product Mr. Sechler uses, By-O-Reg Plus, is made by a Dutch company, Ropapharm International.

A test of oregano oil on four small farms in Maine, which was financed by a $9, 914 grant from the Agriculture department,

studied the effectiveness of oregano oil on 18 mice infected with staph bacteria. Six mice were given oregano oil,

and half survived for the full 30 days of the treatment. Six received carvacrol, regarded by many experts to be the antibacterial component in oregano, in olive oil,

and none of them survived longer than 21 days. Six other mice received only olive oil and died within three days.

The study, which was underwritten by a company, North american Herb and Spice, and presented at a meeting of the American College of Nutrition in 2001,

After hearing about Bell & Evans s use of oregano oil, Bob Ruth, the president of Country View Family Farms, a Pennsylvania-based company, decided to test it on some of his pigs.

Mr. Ruth and Mr. Sechler warned that using oregano oil to control bacterial infection also requires maintaining high standards of sanitation in barns where animals are sheltered,

You can t just replace antibiotics with oregano oil and expect it to work, #Mr. Sechler said.

#Is Your Olive oil As Healthy As You Think?(Op-Ed) Katherine Tallmadge M. A r. D. is registered a dietitian;

The expensive olive oil in your kitchen cabinet is likely not as fresh nutritious or high in quality as you assume it might be.

when using olive oil purchased from America's grocery shelves? Possibly. This issue first came to my attention at a Mediterranean Diet Conference

You feel good about using olive oil right? You know it's good for you tasty and easy to use.

and the best bang for your buck there's more you should know. 4 Tips for Finding Time for Healthy Cooking The health benefits of olive oil are 99 percent related to the presence of the phenolic compounds not the oil itself said Nasir

Malik is referring to the polyphenols in olive oil nutrients also found in wine tea cocoa

and many fruits and vegetables that have been discovered over the past decade to be the substances responsible for the bulk of olive oil's health benefits without

which you might as well use canola oil Malik said. And when tested polyphenols were surprisingly low in most commercially available olive oils according to a recently published study conducted by the Agricultural research service co-authored by Malik.

They also don't live up to international or USDA quality standards according to studies conducted by the University of California at Davis (UC-Davis) Olive Center.

Fresh high-polyphenol olive oil affects the expression of those genes in a positive way reducing your risk for metabolic syndrome and heart disease.

But low-polyphenol olive oil does not have the same effectsa recent study found. Polyphenols also reduce cancer risk by lowering inflammation and cellular proliferation.

Those biological benefits explain in part why the Mediterranean diet high in olive oil has been linked with superior health.

freshly harvested olive oil. That's because olives were growing on trees in people's backyards;

and health benefits of the oil diminish. Think of olive oil as olive juice with a maximum two-year shelf life said Selina Wang research director at the UC-Davis Olive Center.

Several factors are responsible for the polyphenol content of olive oil according to the experts: The quest Marcia Horting and her husband Marc Marzullo who visit Italy regularly are on a constant quest for great olive oil.

We look for oils produced by single vineyards co-ops in small towns like Volpaia or high-quality Tuscan producers that are grassy and spicy said Horting a consultant in Gaithersburg Md.

She has noticed that in the bigger stores in Paris and Rome serving tourists older olive oils are sold at the same prices as the more recent harvest.

Luckily you no longer have to travel to Italy for high-quality extra virgin olive oils as they are now being produced in the United states. They're more likely to be fresh

and with a price you can afford. California is the leader of the olive oil-producing states

but Texas Oregon Arizona and Georgia are producing a small amount. It's tricky to know

if the olive oil you're buying is high-quality fresh extra virgin olive oil. In most U s. stores I have found olive oil with harvest dates on perhaps one out of 20 bottles.

Some have sell-by dates which are usually two years after harvest (already too old!)

though there are no standards for a sell-by date so there is no guarantee how old your olive oil is

unless there is a harvest date. Olives are harvested once annually usually in the fall/winter depending on the region.

whether an olive oil has been harvested and handled to maximize polyphenol content. The way I handle this is by going to a specialty shop where the owners are familiar with the olive farm from

and the oil processed or somewhere that I know sells California or Texas olive oil. I make sure the container is opaque.

It has to have a harvest date within the past year. I keep it in a cool dark cabinet at home

I save expensive olive oil for drizzling on salads and use canola oil for cooking especially with high heat.

For maximum nutrition quality and flavor ideally the olive oil you buy should not be more than one year old.
