Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:

Olive oil is beneficial for you in so many ways.

 

But once a bottle of olive oil is opened, it can become rancid after a while especially with opening and closing it consistently. Buy the smaller bottles so you  

will not harm your body in this way.  

 

Consider that buying those very large bottles of olive oil may not be such a bargain after all!
