Is Olive Oil worth prioritizing?

Olive oil is one of the most extensively studied single foods in longevity research, both through its central role in Mediterranean-diet trials and in large cohort studies of the oil itself. Weighing that against the numbers, Olive Oil is a strong candidate to prioritize — it combines strong evidence (88/100) with a high estimated impact on longevity (80/100).
