A study published in the journal Nutrition Research looked at whether olive oil intake, fish consumption, and omega-3 supplementation would increase the levels of red blood cell oleic acid and the omega-3 index of a person. This study was conducted by a team of researchers from the U.S. and Italy.
In conclusion, the findings suggested that olive oil consumption could increase red blood cell oleic acid levels, while fatty fish intake and omega-3 supplementation could increase omega-3 levels.
