Just yesterday i ran across this topic in a 2002 Mothering Magazine article 
written by Dr Chris Hafner-Eaton (ibclc).  She said "Olive Oil cantains linoleic 
acids, which are antifungal and may cut off the yeast's oxygen supply".  

I say "hmmm???"  I know that olive oil is touted for many health care cures but 
i have no experience with this.  

Vinegar diluted in water works very well.  Yeast do not like an acidic 
environment.
