No more than any other kind of cooking oil. Europeans, especially in Italy and Greece have been cooking with olive oil for thousands of years because olives grow well there. I use olive oil for Italian foods like spaghetti and other pasta dishes because I like the flavor. Also in other Mediterranean dishes like cous cous. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_oil
Apologies for the typos. My phone thinks it knows better than me and alters words.

My girlfriend once fried some food--chicken, I think--using olive oil. The food came out fine. While you can do it, olive is rather expensive compared to other oils. I wouldn't think it would be good from a financial point of view.

Older?
I knew you were up and about to see that, because you posted elsewhere. OK, so if your year of birth precedes the Rolling Stones debut at the Marquee Club in London, you are older than me ;-)
I was too young to attend, does that count?
As I suspected, and I'll bet you have been heard saying:
"They don't make chips like they used to" and "Is it my imagination, or are these Wagon Wheels and Penguin bars getting smaller?"

They certainly are getting smaller, but remember this is a question about the health benefits of olive oil.
Oh yes, I forgot that I had made a foray outwith the safety of The Lounge. Sorry for the digression.

If you need more specific information than has been given then just ask. Deleting the question is usually an option when a question has had no replies and up have found the answer yourself. You have had several replies to this question and not responded so nobody knows whether you need more, what kind of thing you are looking for, or whether you don't understand the help you have already been given.
They now say it's bad for me, but so us everything so I try not to listen to food fads.
The heavier 'salad' olive oils do smoke if you get them too hot, but why get them too hot? You don't need to. There are several lighter olive oils available which they say have a higher smoke point and are better for frying.
Personally I prefer the flavour of the thick first pressing oils and just keep the cooking temperatures low so it doesn't smoke and spoil the taste.
