Dear Layla, I couldn't agree more. I use olive oil daily in one way or another. With regard to natural sources of vitamin E, oils are probably the richest. Here's a "short list." Wheat germ oil 27 mg/ tablespoon Sunflower oil 7 " " Safflower oil 6 " " Almond oil 5.5 " " Soybean oil 4 " " Canola oil 3 " " Corn oil 3 " " Olive oil 2 " " Of these, olive and canola are inexpensive and rich in monounsaturated fats -- excellent choices!!
