Are Stuffed Olives Bad For Your Heart ?
The reason I ask, is my friend has just had a heart bypass, and when he left hospital, the dietian gave my friend a list of what he could and couldn't eat.
Olives were at the top of the 'could not' list. When my friend asked why, he was told that olives were chock-full of calories.
Is this true?.

They are full of calories but most important they are full of salt.
