摘要
Although olives were used for medical purposes as early as more than 150 years ago, modern studies of various olive extracts have revealed them to be powerful antioxidants that can treat a range of health problems. A recent study by CAS researchers demonstrates a novel benefit of an olive ingredient - hydroxytyrosol (HTS) - to treat smoking-induced or age-related retinal pigment epithelial degeneration, such as age-associated macular degeneration (AMD).
