Is eating to many olives bad/good for you?

besides the sodium count. I have had a weird craving for olives and bought a jar last night. Just curious.

Olives are great for your health.

Really? That's good. I eat them all the time.

I think they have quite a bit of fat in them, if I'm not mistaken, but I don't care!!! I love them so much that I told DH the other day that I think someone specifically created olives just for me. Like, here these are on earth for you!

I used to hate them until about 4 months ago when someone gave DH some fresh ones and ever since then I am hooked.

Yes, but (and I say this with an admission of not being an expert in the nutrition field) it's good fat. I know olive oil is excellent for your health--so (I am assuming) are olives.

I was told when i was small that eating olives would make your boobs grow..I ate them like mad...Im just normal sized..so I guess they didnt work. I love olives though..I can eat them by the can..maybe Im still subconsciosuly wishing they'd grow! heheheh

aww, Alicia & Farah---those ar such cute olive stories !
I think Kelly is right about the fat, it is the good fat, but I don't think olives have as much as olive oil.

Maybe your boobs would have been even smaller if you didn't eat the olives
