“The antioxidant nutrients in black olives impede on the oxidation of cholesterol, thereby helping to prevent heart disease. Olives do contain fat, but it’s the healthy monounsaturated kind, which has been found to shrink the risk of hardening and narrowing of the arteries and increase good cholesterol. A serving of 10 large black olives contains 4.7 grams of fat, of which less than 1 gram is saturated fat. The rest of the fat in black olives is the healthy, unsaturated variety. The polyunsaturated fats in black olives can help lower your cholesterol and cut your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.” (healthyeating.sfgate.com/black-olives-healthy-3698.html)
