Dr Berg - you don't make a clear distinction between 'Red Palm oil' and 'Palm oil' ... nor whether the oil is derived from the kernel or the fruit. It is very important that consumers should be aware of the differences. 'Palm' oil is highly refined, fractionated, bleached, and used in many processed foods. 'Red palm' oil, on the other hand, is minimally refined, pressed and cold-filtered, preserving its red color and nutritional content. Also it is essential to note that oil from the fruit is very different to oil from the kernel. The 'fruit' oil is, nutritionally, by far the best. By not clarifying these majorly significant differences, those following your tips might find themselves reading labels and unwittingly buying the highly refined, poorly nutritionally constituted, versions. So, to optimize health, buy only; "red palm fruit oil".
@@cathyfox-pardo3194 It is far better to use this oil unheated. In any event, heating any oil allows it to use its nutritional value. Palm oil is similar to Coconut oil, and I would give the same advice for Coconut oil. However, also note that any oil oxidizes on contact with the air, so smaller containers would be better advised than containers in which the oil might stand for an extended period. I can't recommend any particular brand.
I'm Nigerian and we grew up eating palm oil in many of our foods. Our ancestors as we say, ate only palm oil as their only oil source and lived long lives. When research came out saying palm oil was unhealthy, I just laughed it off and kept eating my palm oil. Good video
Every West African is raised on Palm Oil. We have loved it and trusted it for generations. Tastes great with yam (not very ketogenic friendly though!) brown beans and many other Nigerian dishes like egusi and ogbono soup. Great to hear other people are catching on 🍲🍛.
I grew up on palm oil I only started having cholesterol problems when replaced my palm oil with vegetable and sometimes olive oil because people said they were better it took a while before I realised what was happening I have since switched back to palm oil and my numbers are now ok.
I live in Malaysia. Most of us since childhood eat palm oil and coconut oil. No problem until Western country told us they are bad and should take corn oil etc.. Then we all got sick. Malaysian prime minister Dr. Mahathir who is now 94 years old tells us to drink 1 table spoon of palm oil perday for health. Btw red palm oil is damn cheap here.
i've been using since I was a child, I'm thin, black brazilian, and healthy, I'm 30, and I look like I'm 15, oils that are harmful: canola, soy oil, sunflower oil, corn and other refined, healthy : animal fat, coconut oil, and palm oil is healthy, olive oil is only healthy if it is not placed at high temperature, it is not suitable for cooking.( its toxic)
Not so. A recent Berg video stated that palm oil was a highly saturated fat. And in his own words " Not Good". Has he just been bought by the palm oil producers ?.
My three oils on keto are red palm oil, avocado oil and olive oil…..I buy all of them unrefined freshly pressed. I use palm oil for my African stews, the avocado oil is to fry or sautée things and olive oil is for salads. I am so happy to see a video by dr Berg on red palm oil. Love it!
They came to West Africa preaching everywhere how red palm oil is so dangerous for the health, that Africans must stop eating red palm oil. Immediately after that sermon, there was serious shortage of red palm oil because almost all of it was exported to the Western world. Any West African who can remember that period can confirm this. Of course many people in West Africa never stopped since it was/is still a cheaper alternative.
Demonizing a natural, healthy, sustainable, African product, consumed for more than 5 thousand years, because white companies (American and European) deforest and kill animals in Asia( not appropriate soil) today, palm oil shouldn't be hated, but white capitalism that must be hated, they must not like white people :American and European companies, not palm oil.there is no problem with it, if you buy from Africa or Brazil\South America, the problem is in asia ( not appropriate soil) and white capitalism.
Most of countries in South East Asia use palm oil on daily basis and coconut (often in the form of coconut milk) for cooking. We are healthy. The price is cheap. Another thing, palm can be used as energy alternative for green energy. Thanks for covering this subject, Doc. You are awesome!
@@honeybunch0128, I think this mostly refers to renewable diesel. Not biodiesel, but renewable diesel. A lot of oil refiners are converting a portion of their equipment to process crop oils, used cooking oils, and animal tallows as feedstock to produce diesel fuel.

It seems to be a consistent pattern among scientists who seek to demonize fat or protein to use some component of fat or protein - in this case just the fat component palmitic acid, or in the China Study with just the protein component casein - in ISOLATION in order to "prove" that fat or protein is harmful. If a study does not mimic the totality of the food in question, and how it is commonly eaten, simply isolating a particular substance in that food, and then giving animals a massively high dose of that substance in relation to their body weight to induce an ailment, does not prove that meat or certain types of oil are bad. In no other area would simply looking at something in isolation, without examining it within context, be considered fair or honest. These scientists are basically making bogus claims, and they should be ostracized by the scientific community for misleading the public.
Dr Natasha McBride has bought out a book that shows you exactly why studies like that are bogus and why we need meat. She basically cured autism (infant son)

In Nigeria we use Palm oil to cook most of our meals ... its an awesome oil to use... don't mind the lies of aforestation ... These fruits are grown in massive hectares of lands
Deforestation your mean? Palm tree grow easily in West Africa .Palm fruits are planted in a rotational system to avoid deforestation and nutrient depletion of the soil.
In the Congo and Ghana we use the fruit for soups (sometimes with peanuts and green leaves) and the oil (from the fruit) for so many recipes. We also make oil from the nut i.e. palm kernel oil; I love it and I'm glad I didn't listen to the expects when they said it is bad. Thanks Dr. Berg for bringing this to light.
@@kout31 you can but most people don't because it has a very hard shell inside the fruit and the shell has a nut inside. It has three components in this order; the fruit, the very hard shell which no teeth can crack and the nut inside the shell. The fruit is cooked as a soup then the oil is scooped out of the fruit soup. The nut is used for milk and another kind of oil which is different in taste and color.
I remember people were saying Palm oil is unhealthy and bad just over a decade ago! Ironically its one of the cheapest cooking oil available in the market compared to all others like Sunflower, Soy, Canola etc...

Proudly Nigerian,most of our soups are cooked with palm oil but the question i would like to ask you Dr Eric is that at what temperature should palm oil be fried with it's ingredients inside it and are there any consequences of frying it at a certain degree?
Depends on the brand. In Malaysia, (yellow) palm oil can withstand 180 celsius and advised up to 3 times frying use. Lets take frying time is around 15 minutes on average per activity. Ty Nigeria for the early seeds of palm oil.
Doctor you are great. I love the way you speak English, so elegantly, not at all like the majority of the people on TH-cam, who scream as if they were in a war. I am European. Thank you so much!

If you can give me an advice I would appreciate it very much. Best wishes
Papm oil in Israel is only available at Passover, I've been buying it by the case and keeping it for the year for many years. Someone always tries to give me a health lesson when they see me checking out with three cases of palm oil. I've heard it all! I use avocado oil, palm oil and coconut oil mainly for everything I make.
Thank you, I was always quite sceptical about palm oil, although it is the most common oil used here and I personally still use it other than coconut and olive oil. Now I can keep using it in peace without a doubt.

red oil is from the fruit, can be organic, back in Africa palm is cooked, never cold pressed. palm kernel oil is never red, it's different and extracted differently
Palm oil especially red palm oil are very healthy they got bad rep becoz of soy oil company to extend it have been boycott in Europe...in msia n indonesia we got plenty so no need to buy expensive vit a n e supplement😊 Thank u Dr Berg!
yes i remember Mahathir was angry with all that hype in europe about Palm oil being hazardous to health and its affected the Malaysian, Indonesia palm exports...
I don’t know how people say palm oil is cheap I live in us and the same brand Dr Berg has it’s almost $15 in whole food I have one and not know how to use it

I’ve never used palm oil, I know coconut oil is pretty stable when you cook with it. How does palm oil taste (with eggs)? I cook with coconut oil almost every single day but if palm oil stays stable when I cook my eggs with it, I’ll use it once or twice a week just for the additional health benefits...
Thank you so much for covering this! So much info to research and process it's overwhelming. So I've avoided Palm oil. A commentor mentioned to get the good organic stuff!
Funny how perhaps it was like 5 yrs that i used coconut oil in my cooking but ive always accepted the fact that when i dont get enuf sleep i end up not remembering a lot of things or i get lost to what i was gonna say. I knew cells in my brains are destroyed due to lack of sleep. But since ive used palm oil my brain functions is so much better than when i have a full 8 hrs of sleep. Ive not had a full 8 hrs of sleep for the past 2 decades and im serious!! Maybe one time only did i have that. So you can imagine lower than 5 and you keep forgetting things and how would that be when sometimes I'm forced once in 3 months to go dash out without a wink, you bet you don't even know who you are. However, I could attest palm oil works wonders because i didnt sleep a wink the night before due to a disturbance in my room but the next day i could rmemeber everything i wanted to say in that fast paced transaction like wow till i had to go back to sleep: there were no pauses while speaking of what i was going to say, not forgetting things every 3 hours or so. What happened!! During this pandemic coconut oil has been too pricey and Ive tried Palm oil which is not yet popular in the public market and glad i did try!! After i researched about it, decided to try it, and found amazing benefits!! Im never going to buy another brand of oit!! Try it!!
Do people know how damn long time it takes before palm oil tree start producing fruits that can be harvested? At least 5 years! The tree only need "special" care during this growing period. Most of family owned plantation wil use organic pesticides to help the trees grow healthier. Once it start producing fruits, all it need just occasional trimming of the old leaves and harvest the ripe fruits 1-2 times a month. The soil and irrigation system are the most important aspect to ensure it live healthy life and maintain fruits production for good 20 to 30 years. There is no such thing as pesticides garbage westerners talking about needed for the tree to continue producing fruits.
When people think of a "healthy" oil, olive oil comes to mind because of its high content of oleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid. Palm oil contains around 40% oleic acid.
Doctor berg, I m lucky I know what u r talking. Because I switched coconut to red palm oil and not only I tested my good colestrol increase also I can easily go toilet as it act as a lubricant. But u need to inform your viewers, its non refined palm oil for one spoon a day. Palm oil yellow refined cooking oil is only good for cooking. Yellow oil Health benefits not as powerful in comparison to red palm oil unrefined. Also red palm Oil fried egg and friend rice taste so delicious 😋
Sustaible enviroment oil is buying local product. Exp i'm from Malaysia, we planted coconut and palm tree, so buy palm oil lah. Oh ye, i rarely see coconut oil in supermarket. I usually use coconut milk in my food...
(1)Palm oil is make from the pulp (mesocarp)of the fruit, (2)Unrefined or partial refined is call red palm oil,refined to golden color is refined palm oil (3)Whereas Palm kernel oil is extracted from the seed of the fruit. See the orange colour,is pulp(mesocarp) and the inner core white colour of the seed is Kernel where palm kernel oil is extracted so called palm kernel oil
I've always loved making my sauces with red palm oil for these health benefits I learned while in the university. I really needed to have a confirmation from you Dr Berg.
I think the special kind of vitamin E you get from red palm oil (I use nutiva) is critical for health. Tocotrienols or another kind. I've never been able to put my finger on it but I've been taking it for decades and every time I dismiss it as being useful, because it's messy (relying on just supplement E and food) my health turns worse or off peak, just not right away.
I think we should have different oils in round-robin to get benefits of all oils. Only thing we should remember is how much oil we consume. Too much or too little is always bad for health.
Palm nut oil gives me the worst GERD. I avoid it as best as I can but almost everything that used to contain butter or lard or sunflower oil now contains palm fat oil instead. I have proved my point by making my own bread which contains butter and not margarine. Pure peanut butter with no additives is fine but those withh added palm fut upsets my gut. i disagree with dr berg on this subject.
Hey Dr. Berg, Thanks for another great video! What are your thoughts on wheat germ oil? Any other benefits besides being a good source of vitamin E? Any downsides?
Prior to the introduction of seed oils in the very late 1800s and very early 1900s, animal fats were the rage. And heart disease was practically unheard of! Saturated fats were proven to not be the problem. It's polyunsaturated oils that are the problem!
Hi Thanks for all your good works. However I read it has more vitamin A, than E. For example Red Palm Oil label Yes that very one you showed just now. Love all your videos You are my go to *Free Dr* in TH-cam Am an African Bahamian in the Bahamas
It's when we fry palm oil in Africa that we can only be able to turn that beautiful red oil to something like vegetable oil. I'm surprised at that vegetable oil colour still called palm oil.
Hi Dr Berg - I am a little confused here! Coming from malaysia, generally we have those "highly refined" palm oils and the less common red palm oil which you showed at the end of the video. I am assuming that your video above is specifically focused on the red palm oil is that correct? Because if it is, then i need to the make the transition to red palm oil as opposed to the current refined palm oil that i am currently using. Please share your thoughts

Demonizing a natural, healthy, sustainable, eco-friendly (it is the oil with the highest yield), African product, consumed for more than 5 thousand years, ancient egyptian civilization consumed, because white companies (American and European) deforest and kill animals in Asia( not appropriate soil) today, palm oil shouldn't be hated, but white capitalism that must be hated, :American and European companies, not palm oil.there is no problem with it, if you buy from Africa or Brazil\South america, the problem is in asia ( not appropriate soil) and white capitalism.
In Nigeria we use Palm oil to cook most of our meals ... its an awesome oil to use... don't mind the lies of aforestation ... These fruits are grown in massive hectares of lands
Deforestation your mean? Palm tree grow easily in West Africa .Palm fruits are planted in a rotational system to avoid deforestation and nutrient depletion of the soil.
But they are trees also
Make sure you look for and get Palm Fruit oil. Some palm oil is made with the seed and is not the same thing.
In the Congo and Ghana we use the fruit for soups (sometimes with peanuts and green leaves) and the oil (from the fruit) for so many recipes. We also make oil from the nut i.e. palm kernel oil; I love it and I'm glad I didn't listen to the expects when they said it is bad.
Thanks Dr. Berg for bringing this to light.
Is there anyways to eat the fruit whole, or that's not possible? Can I just take a spoonful straight?
@@kout31 you can but most people don't because it has a very hard shell inside the fruit and the shell has a nut inside. It has three components in this order; the fruit, the very hard shell which no teeth can crack and the nut inside the shell. The fruit is cooked as a soup then the oil is scooped out of the fruit soup. The nut is used for milk and another kind of oil which is different in taste and color.
I'm glad you made this video. I wasn't sure if palm oil was one of those stay away from oils like soybean or canola. Thank you
Finally someone with good solid information on the benefits of Palm oil. It gets such a bad rep.
I'm glad you made this video, I was asking about it earlier. Thanks and remain blessed.
Glad to help!
I remember people were saying Palm oil is unhealthy and bad just over a decade ago!
Ironically its one of the cheapest cooking oil available in the market compared to all others like Sunflower, Soy, Canola etc...
Yeaaa the cheapest if m not mistaken
Ha yes canola is so expensive here, as if it would do wonders to our health. How ironic
The cheapest n one of e most healthiest, especially red palm oil..
Soy oil is e worst..
Only the refined version is cheap here in Germany

Proudly Nigerian,most of our soups are cooked with palm oil but the question i would like to ask you Dr Eric is that at what temperature should palm oil be fried with it's ingredients inside it and are there any consequences of frying it at a certain degree?
Temperature? The higher the smoke point the better and palm oil known to have those benefits (cmiiw)
Depends on the brand. In Malaysia, (yellow) palm oil can withstand 180 celsius and advised up to 3 times frying use. Lets take frying time is around 15 minutes on average per activity.
Ty Nigeria for the early seeds of palm oil.
I will start use coconut oil for cooking and continue fry with palm oil
Doctor you are great. I love the way you speak English, so elegantly, not at all like the majority of the people on TH-cam, who scream as if they were in a war. I am European. Thank you so much! Btw I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, I refuse to take Euthyrox and follow a healthy diet instead, with a lot of Omega 3 and iodine , which are things I haven't eat for the past 10 years. If you can give me an advice I would appreciate it very much. Best wishes
Did you improve hypothyroidism with omega 3 and iodine ?
So … Just combine the use of Coconut & Palm oils … and maybe use other good oils in salad dressing etc - right?
Papm oil in Israel is only available at Passover, I've been buying it by the case and keeping it for the year for many years. Someone always tries to give me a health lesson when they see me checking out with three cases of palm oil. I've heard it all! I use avocado oil, palm oil and coconut oil mainly for everything I make.
I’m so happy you did this video!! I started using red palm oil last week in my cooking!! I wasn’t for sure I had just read it was ketofriendly!!
Umm all oil is keto friendly. Any oil is basically 100% fat and 0% carbs
Thank you, I was always quite sceptical about palm oil, although it is the most common oil used here and I personally still use it other than coconut and olive oil. Now I can keep using it in peace without a doubt.
Providing it's sustainably produced. I hope.
Thank you so much😊
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 wonderful information on red palm oil. ❤❤❤

Thank u very much Dr Berg for this clarification, it’s interesting to know!
Palm oil for me. Not many people know for some reason. Its healthy it makes food tastes better and has not given me any problems whatsoever.
sustainable eco-friendly.... then palm oil it is, because a square meters of palm oil can produce 3 to 5 time more oil than anything alse
The skin and wrinkles around my eyes look better in 3 or 4 days after eating this.

Found some great ‘peanut butter’ at Sam’s Club. - Ingredients: Roasted Peanuts - Sugar - Palm Oil - Sea Salt. (8g Carbs). I use a little as a treat. I know ...
Cool nice treat, also you could make your own peanut butter with or without salt. Easy to make.
red oil is from the fruit, can be organic, back in Africa palm is cooked, never cold pressed.
palm kernel oil is never red, it's different and extracted differently
Wow thank you so much from Jamaica
Palm oil especially red palm oil are very healthy they got bad rep becoz of soy oil company to extend it have been boycott in Europe...in msia n indonesia we got plenty so no need to buy expensive vit a n e supplement😊

I don’t know how people say palm oil is cheap I live in us and the same brand Dr Berg has it’s almost $15 in whole food I have one and not know how to use it
In my country 2 liters of palm oil is Rp. 30000 or $2 ish
Palm oil is excellent for the skin. Used it as an ointment when I had german measles. All spots went away in 3 weeks
Your video strengthens my view that "multi-national" food companies have their own financial agenda over the cost to human health
You can get these oils from Nutiva! Order them directly from them to get the best prices! I just purchased a 1 gal. container of Red Palm Oil for $23 vs the 15oz jar for $9!

@@rachelle1 You're welcome! Another thing, I just love the Hemp Seed Oil for Salad Dressing! It has a wonderful Walnut flavor that goes great with "Good Seasons" Garlic & Herb Dressing and the 24oz Plastic bottle is the same price as the 16oz glass bottle I get at my local health food store, so its like getting 8oz for free! Oh, and their Coconut Oil tastes better than anything I can get at the Grocery Store and their MCT Oil is oh so good as well! I just started using their High Fiber Hemp Protein Powder and let me tell you what, the very first time I tried it I had to do a 12 hr fast for a blood test and I was able to go 19 hrs without getting hungry! 3 Tbs Hemp Protein Powder, 1 cup Milk, 1 cup Blackberries and 1 Tbs MCT Oil and 2 tsp Munkfruit Sweetener!

Thanks for this video. It answered my questions on palm oil. To think palm oil is rich in vitamin E is amazing. Thanks Dr. Berg
I love your channel the way you go up close to the product thank you
I’ve never used palm oil, I know coconut oil is pretty stable when you cook with it. How does palm oil taste (with eggs)? I cook with coconut oil almost every single day but if palm oil stays stable when I cook my eggs with it, I’ll use it once or twice a week just for the additional health benefits...
its darn cheaper too!!
@@fidelcatsro6948 Only the refined version is cheaper I fear.
Ahh you don’t wanna eat pal oil with eggs
Thank you for the clarification because honestly I was curious about palm oil an it’s use.
Most welcome.
Thank you so much for covering this! So much info to research and process it's overwhelming. So I've avoided Palm oil.

ขอบคุณมาก. ฉันกำลังต้องการข้อมูลนี้.. From Thailand
Did not know this, only seen on some labels. Actually thought it was a no go. I just love coconut oil.
The western world needs to embrace sustainable palm oil as clearly explained in your video. Thanks
Sorry, it wasn't clearly explained, it was brushed over and swept to one side as if it didn't matter. I was disappointed in Dr Bergs handling of it.
ALL from Africa And Latin America
Funny how perhaps it was like 5 yrs that i used coconut oil in my cooking but ive always accepted the fact that when i dont get enuf sleep i end up not remembering a lot of things or i get lost to what i was gonna say. I knew cells in my brains are destroyed due to lack of sleep. But since ive used palm oil my brain functions is so much better than when i have a full 8 hrs of sleep. Ive not had a full 8 hrs of sleep for the past 2 decades and im serious!! Maybe one time only did i have that. So you can imagine lower than 5 and you keep forgetting things and how would that be when sometimes I'm forced once in 3 months to go dash out without a wink, you bet you don't even know who you are. However, I could attest palm oil works wonders because i didnt sleep a wink the night before due to a disturbance in my room but the next day i could rmemeber everything i wanted to say in that fast paced transaction like wow till i had to go back to sleep: there were no pauses while speaking of what i was going to say, not forgetting things every 3 hours or so. What happened!! During this pandemic coconut oil has been too pricey and Ive tried Palm oil which is not yet popular in the public market and glad i did try!! After i researched about it, decided to try it, and found amazing benefits!! Im never going to buy another brand of oit!! Try it!!

Do people know how damn long time it takes before palm oil tree start producing fruits that can be harvested? At least 5 years! The tree only need "special" care during this growing period. Most of family owned plantation wil use organic pesticides to help the trees grow healthier. Once it start producing fruits, all it need just occasional trimming of the old leaves and harvest the ripe fruits 1-2 times a month. The soil and irrigation system are the most important aspect to ensure it live healthy life and maintain fruits production for good 20 to 30 years. There is no such thing as pesticides garbage westerners talking about needed for the tree to continue producing fruits.
Is it better for the skin? Is it safe to use it in soap
When people think of a "healthy" oil, olive oil comes to mind because of its high content of oleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid. Palm oil contains around 40% oleic acid.
Doctor berg, I m lucky I know what u r talking. Because I switched coconut to red palm oil and not only I tested my good colestrol increase also I can easily go toilet as it act as a lubricant. But u need to inform your viewers, its non refined palm oil for one spoon a day. Palm oil yellow refined cooking oil is only good for cooking. Yellow oil Health benefits not as powerful in comparison to red palm oil unrefined. Also red palm Oil fried egg and friend rice taste so delicious 😋
Sustaible enviroment oil is buying local product. Exp i'm from Malaysia, we planted coconut and palm tree, so buy palm oil lah. Oh ye, i rarely see coconut oil in supermarket. I usually use coconut milk in my food...
(1)Palm oil is make from the pulp (mesocarp)of the fruit,
(2)Unrefined or partial refined is call red palm oil,refined to golden color is refined palm oil
(3)Whereas Palm kernel oil is extracted from the seed of the fruit.
See the orange colour,is pulp(mesocarp) and the inner core white colour of the seed is Kernel where palm kernel oil is extracted so called palm kernel oil
I've always loved making my sauces with red palm oil for these health benefits I learned while in the university. I really needed to have a confirmation from you Dr Berg.
I think the special kind of vitamin E you get from red palm oil (I use nutiva) is critical for health. Tocotrienols or another kind. I've never been able to put my finger on it but I've been taking it for decades and every time I dismiss it as being useful, because it's messy (relying on just supplement E and food) my health turns worse or off peak, just not right away.

Dear Dr. Berg,
Is it palm oil in general or extra virgin palm oil?
Thank you very much!
Wow, and they say palm oil is bad . Not the red one. Is this good for fatty liver ?
Thank you for this video !!
Europeans demonized Red Palm oil for more than 5 centurys too.
I think we should have different oils in round-robin to get benefits of all oils. Only thing we should remember is how much oil we consume. Too much or too little is always bad for health.
Thank you have been avoiding palm oil but this has been a great insight
Palm nut oil gives me the worst GERD. I avoid it as best as I can but almost everything that used to contain butter or lard or sunflower oil now contains palm fat oil instead. I have proved my point by making my own bread which contains butter and not margarine. Pure peanut butter with no additives is fine but those withh added palm fut upsets my gut. i disagree with dr berg on this subject.
That particular Dr is right. Thank u Dr.
Red palm oil is very difficult to find around here ( Western New York). I can only find it at one store (wegmans) and they don't always have it.
No health food stores?
You can find this at Caribbean or African markets.
is palm oil good to cook with
Yes
The picture you have there is refined palm oil.
Thank you so much for this information Doctor.
You're very welcome.

Thanks for the thorough, detail information
The claim that Palm oil yields the highest oil per acre and yet destroys the environment is contradictory.
Then we shouldn't use oil at all.

Prior to the introduction of seed oils in the very late 1800s and very early 1900s, animal fats were the rage. And heart disease was practically unheard of! Saturated fats were proven to not be the problem. It's polyunsaturated oils that are the problem!
What are the best ways to consume the red palm oil?
Drink it. Really. If you using it for cooking you are at risk of oxygenated it which is bad for your body.
Hi
Thanks for all your good works.

Yes please do! It would be very helpful to know for our Ketogenic lifestyle.
Yes I agree
Dr Eric Berg, could you kindly do a "palm kernel oil" (that is, the oil derived from the palm nut) research and tell us about it too.
Palm oil is purest in my country. We don't bleach it. The main ingredient in our recipes are the red pure just pressed from fruits, Palm oil.
I wonder what you will cook in Nigeria without palm oil. Many of our recipes are made with palm oil.

Is the palm oil in peanut butter a healthy oil or is it ruined in the processing?
Thank you Dr berg❤
It's when we fry palm oil in Africa that we can only be able to turn that beautiful red oil to something like vegetable oil. I'm surprised at that vegetable oil colour still called palm oil.
Hi Dr Berg - I am a little confused here! Coming from malaysia, generally we have those "highly refined" palm oils and the less common red palm oil which you showed at the end of the video. I am assuming that your video above is specifically focused on the red palm oil is that correct? Because if it is, then i need to the make the transition to red palm oil as opposed to the current refined palm oil that i am currently using. Please share your thoughts
