Nutraceutical is defined as a food which, rich in nutritional properties, acts like a drug when taken, that is, with healing properties. The term was created by Dr. Stephen De Felice in 1989, Italian-American doctor, and is the combination of "nutrition" and "pharmaceuticals". Therefore, a food defined as "nutraceutical" has improved effects on health. Extra virgin olive oil, with its peculiar organoleptic characteristics, can be defined as a natural nutraceutical as long as it satisfies the directives of the reg. EU 432/2012. In particular, the contents of polyphenols and vitamin E must be at least 2.5 mg of Vit. E and 5 mg. of polyphenols for every 20 gr. of product, that for 100 gr. of EVO oil (how the nutritional labels of any food are structured) means that the minimum quantity must be 25 mg. of polyphenols and 12.5 mg. that is, "minimum 15% of the recommended daily dose (10 mg according to Directive 90/496/EEC)". Recent studies have shown that about 34% of tumors are caused by food factors, so the daily use of extra virgin olive oil is strongly recommended.
