Olive oil - healthy as a substitute, or in its own right?
There are many articles about extra virgin olive oil being healthy - for example here. This implies, at least, that replacing other fats in the diet (such as butter or other vegetable oils) with olive oil is beneficial. But is olive oil also beneficial to health when consumed in larger amounts? Assuming it is not contributing too many calories and leading to an unhealthy weight.
I really love the taste of olive oil, and enjoy snacks like bread with olive oil, or just using it as a dressing on lots of things. Is this healthy (because olive oil is healthy) or unhealthy (because, even though it is a "good" oil, having a larger fat intake is still bad)?

Good Question!
Here we all know, the excess of everything is bad. If your larger quantity means the use of 1-2 TBSP of olive oil in the breakfast time and then in the dinner time is completely fine. The effect of oil on your body totally depends on your way of intake- this also includes the quantity. You also need to take care of your other intakes.
For example, If you are taking olive oil in warm milk before going to bed then the effect would be different on your body. If you are just pouring some oil onto the food then the effect would be different. What else are you taking which includes fats, and similar nutrients?
There are many benefits of olive oil that we cannot even count. But it also depends on how pure is your Olive OIL is. if it is not pure then it is very harmful to you to take in high amount. if it is pure and you are sure, you still wanna use good amount then you should be doing some exercise in order to consume it properly.
