The
Pub Med website has thousands of studies, with a search
bar where you can enter what you would like to search
for. An example, search for extra virgin olive
oil. It will take you to over 11,000 EVOO studies.
Cognitive/Brain Health
A 6.5-year follow-up
(subsample of 285 participants) showed that the Mediterranean
diet + EVOO group had better cognitive performance (especially memory and
fluency) and a significant reduction in mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
(odds ratio ~0.34) compared to controls.

Anti-inflammatory (oleocanthal in EVOO)
https://www.nature.com/articles/437045a
Newly pressed extra-virgin olive oil
contains oleocanthal — a compound whose pungency induces
a strong stinging sensation in the throat, not unlike
that caused by solutions of the non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen1. We show here that
this similar perception seems to be an indicator of a
shared pharmacological activity, with oleocanthal acting
as a natural anti-inflammatory compound that has a
potency and profile strikingly similar to that of
ibuprofen. Although structurally dissimilar, both these
molecules inhibit the same cyclooxygenase enzymes in the
prostaglandin-biosynthesis pathway.
