OLIVE leaves highly suspicious

Olive leaf extract has been of interest to someone who inquired. Here are legitimate reports about it.

1. Hydrolyzed Olive Vegetation Water in Mice Has Anti-Inflammatory Activity - "Fruit and vegetable simple and polyphenols are potent antioxidants. One of the most effective in terms of free radical scavenging is 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl ethanol or hydroxytyrosol (HT), a simple phenol found predominantly in Olea europea, or the olive plant. HT is most abundant in the aqueous fraction of olive pulp with trace amounts in the olive oil fraction and in the leaves. "

All other articles I found referred to olives and olive oil, but not to the olive leaf. With only this one study in mice, and not being aware of any use of olive leafs except in lots of commercial supplements, I am skeptical.
