Olive oil and Honey- health beliefs

I have been curious and keen on olive oil for quite a long time ever since I heard about this oil and it's benefits. Olive oil is much more famous than before in recent China, since it's rare, foreign made, expensive, healthy, tasteful, good for skin, etc., which really appeal to the wealthier Chinese.

On the internet, with the olive oil introduction in Chinese, there are a lot of benefits followed after the article. You are always crowded by too many beneficial describtions to hold yourself from expecting for one bottle to have a try. In Chinese, olive oil embodies not only healthy food, somehow, it is given a label of luxury and modern life and more.

Due to economic consideration, I have not tried it yet, so the curiosity still lives in my heart. But is olive oil that much better than other edible oils? Is the cost performance better than other oils? I am not sure. I believe olive oil is a healthy oil. And I believe other oils are healthy too, like soy oil, sunflower oil and peanut oil.

The other day, I bought a bottle of billy bee honey from foodbasics. Most people in China consider honey not only a source of sugar, but a very healthy food, though the reason why it is healthy is always not easy to tell clearly. The most common way to have honey is to add it to some cool water and drink it. People believe drink some honey water every day is very good for health. Sometimes, people dip food with it, but this is not a common way of having honey in China to my knowledge.

I don't know how local people in Canada have honey. I guess most people use it in bakery, or dip food with it according to local cooking style. In the view of Chinese people, heat will break some healthy substances in the honey. So honey in bakery has hever been a Chinese way.

It's really different that people treat food. And it's funny.
