To be fair, we didn't know about hypertension, HBP, Cholesterol etc. we just blamed everything on witchcraft. Palm Oil like every other food is good in moderation.
I was surprised to find palm oil in one of the three ingredients in my peanut butter. You would think they would use peanut oil if anything. That stuff is everywhere.

We’ve known processed foods aren’t good for us, but has anyone ever told you WHY? Recently, a few recent studies came out that found because processed foods are essentially pre-digested there is nothing left for your gut flora by the time it reaches your intestines. Your gut flora is responsible for so much of your health, including the immune system, endocrine system, weight management, heart and brain health (we actually have a second “brain”, a small clump of neurons, in our stomach. Look it up!). We don’t even know the extent of everything gut flora is responsible for but we do know how vital it is to keep it healthy. When you eat processed foods, you are literally starving all the beneficial creatures living in your digestive system because your body absorbs every bit of it before it reaches them. This information was relayed to me by my doctor. you can look up the studies , which were published by the BMJ, and read the findings for yourselves.

@@johnsheppard4428 I only saw that from online videos but it's scary. I do understand that people need to make a living but some businesses are too greedy, deforest more to produce more.

Palm oil is high in saturated fats and has been linked to heart disease, cancer, and raising LDL cholesterol. Also, there are two types of palm oil, one of which is a seed oil and is considered processed (technically both are considered processed, but the seed portion is more so).
Yup just like all monounsaturated fats. Oils and fats from things we should never be taking the oil from and consuming like cotton oil or corn oil. The body wasn't made to use monounsaturated fats and that's why if you don't eat any and consume only polyunsaturated fats like tallow of grass fed butter or olive oil your likelyhood of getting heart disease is much much much smaller.
You both are spouting misinformation. Tallow and "grass fed" butter are full of saturated fats, B and D vitamins which are fat soluble, and even good cholesterol that's why they're considered healthy. The body stores saturated fats. Avocados has high monounsaturated fats that's why they are healthy. Polyunsaturated are that of margarine and highly processed seed oils. Palm oil ain't that of a health issue and far better than seed oils. The only major problem is agri monoculture and reduction of biodiversity by habitat destruction.
Wrong info mate 😂. Dont be fooled by US gov, they want sell more sunflower, canola, vegetable corn oil (protect the industry). The truth is, sunflower, canola, vegetable corn oil is far worst than palm oil. Research more about palm oil benefit u will get the truth
@@unagisama5476A 2015 meta-analysis and 2017 advisory from the American Heart Association indicated that palm oil is among foods supplying dietary saturated fat which increases blood levels of LDL cholesterol and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, leading to recommendations for reduced use or elimination of dietary palm oil in favor of consuming unhydrogenated vegetable oils.
One major problem for that. You'll need more land, i.e. cutting down more forests to plant palm trees in order produce oil that are meant for vehicles.

Fun fact: people say that vegetable oils are better than animal fats such as lard, used for most cooking before vegetable oils became highly popular, but interestingly, the rates of heart disease and obesity have actually gone up steadily together with the use of plant oils. The verdict is still out on whether this is correlation or causation, but there's a few reasons that suggest the latter.
@@robertmedina3282 Oh yeah absolutely, and as far as I'm aware it's the leading cause of obesity in the modern world. An average person eats twice as many carbs as they need to fuel them.
Drawing conclusions between two things that both just correlate with time is always dubious. There are plenty of countries that eat primarily vegetable oils, even rich ones (see: Mediterranean olive oil consumption) that have much lower obesity. I don’t think a conclusion may be drawn here.

@@68able2 That's what you were on about!! Ok then, you'll survive. Chill. Yes , me too. I consume a lot of saturated fats as I am on ketosis for a few years now. Butter, coconut, olive and palm oils are great because of mct oils in them. Body fat (triglycerides) are created after carbohydrates digestion. Technically sugars turn fat, fats don't. Side Note: Obesity is caused because of high carb high fat high sugar (high fructose )processed foods ( preservatives). The issue is insulin resistance and too much carbs and not enough excercise.
Palm oil is also heavily contributing to deforestation and carbon emissions in Indonesia et al. The trees are only useful for one season (maybe a couple idr) so they burn them after each harvest 😬 It’s one of those things where it *looks* green from above, but it’s actually an ecological disaster
Palm oil trees can be used up to 30years. If you want to ban one oil crop ban others too. Sunflower, canola, soybean are all annual plant and you need to plough the land EVERY year. Not to mention maize, wheat and other main crops. So stop the hypocrisy. Burn after each harvest? Please dont look stupid when you are trying to be smart. Help each other to make a better world.
In Malaysia palm oil stays productive on average for 25 years, so no, it's not cut down after every season as it takes 2-3 years for the trees to actually start producing fruits. The clear-cutting and deforestation is because of land and forest being cleared for new plots of palm oil trees, not because they're cut down after every season.
Many forest animals including elephants and primates die from this habitat destruction to grow palm oil trees or to raise grass-fed cows. Both are horrible.
I know economically it's good, but I hate these palm oil plantations. Where I'm from 90% of the forest that my dad brought us for nice hikes and waterfalls have all been screwed over just to plant these.
The context here is: people who eat palm oil in cooking have nothing to fear about, it’s those who ate it from processed food are to worry because it’s laced with transfat and sugar that is plenty is western part of the world, people here have no problem whatsoever, because we eat to live, not live to eat.

Good info. You forgot the part where the struggling young widow/widower has two or three jobs and no time to cook. Or the struggling family where both parents work full time and OVERtime to make ends meet, and neither parent has the time or energy to cook healthy. My husband, for example, has to work 7 days a week most of the time. He’s lucky if he can get two days off from work per month (and no, that’s not an exaggeration). We are pretty well off, but even so I went and got myself not just one but two jobs (because I like working). Between the two of us working constantly, we barely saw our kids and my two eldest (13 and 11 at the time) were doing all the cooking. “Cooking” for a 13yo and 11yo amounts to making a pot of rice, cooking some pre-cooked chicken in the oven, and _maybe_ some sort of canned vegetables. So just from that experience alone it wasn’t hard for me to understand how a single parent (or even a married couple) would be unable to cook healthy meals at home. (It’s not that hard to understand if someone uses more than their last two brain cells on life support.) I mean, the math is pretty simple. Most daytime jobs don’t let you clock out until 5. The average commute home is 30-45 minutes depending on traffic/area, but most people don’t make it home until 6. If bedtime is at 8 (like it is in my home), that doesn’t leave much time to cook and spend time with your family. So it’s not hard to comprehend why so many people opt for the box dinners. If memory serves correctly, hamburger helper takes like, idk, 20 minutes tops? Anything healthy from scratch probably takes more than an hour. (I say that because it takes me at least half an hour just to make my homemade salad and homemade dressing that I eat every day. Adobo takes over an hour, sushi takes at least two hours depending on your ingredients and amount; tofu tikka masala takes over an hour…I could go on…) I’ve cooked healthy and I’ve cooked unhealthy and I can tell you by far the unhealthy foods take less time.

Funny how most people blame palm oil for obesity and heart disease but go ahead to consume tons of refined sugar. Red palm oil is actually good and protects the heart because of its high content of carotenoids.
As someone actually living in Malaysia, it is interesting to see how foreigners talk about palm oil and its industry. I wonder how many are actually nutritionist and industry expert.

If you decide to drive all around the outskirts of divisions in Sarawak you can find a lot of Palm oil plantations. In the early mornings, you can smell palm fruits being burned. The roads going to separate division, you can at least see one to three large trucks and lorrys carrying the palm oil fruits.
They have also destroyed the habitat of the poor orangutan ,slash and burn to gain ground to grow palm oil ,it's horrendous what palm oil industry has done to the environment 😢
Industrial procession is consequence of overstretched global logistic system, which in itself consequence of world population overbreeding billions beyond natural Earth carrying capacity. Stop breeding, start childfree life, adopt instead of breed.
It would be great to mention the horrific implications mass produced monoculture has on the ecosystem, as well as how polluting the process of palm oil extraction is
What was skipped here is that palm plantations have reduced greatly the size of forests in Indonesia and Malasia, thus decimating the number of native and unique species there....
You realize this is a Shorts, right ? Watch the FULL video. Also most people even Malaysians and Indonesians are fully aware of what it does to the local ecosystem
What was skipped by this comment is palm oil is the most resource efficient vegetable oil used in various industries. Other oils either less versatile or even more environmentally destructive. To counter this industrial efficiency norm of the world mean to counter world overpopulation. Start by living childfree live, adopt instead of breeding.

@@davidb2206I'm curious to know how you define native. If populations don't become naturalized or native after thousands of years (and yes, the first Beringian migrations did happen at least a few thousand years before colonial Europeans arrived (not talking about the ancient Nordic travellers)), then what can be considered native? Are there any native Europeans? Any native Africans outside of the actual cradle? What about animals? Any native South American carnivorans considering their ancestors only moved there over the newly formed Isthmus of Panama approx 3 million years ago? We need to acknowledge that things are constantly in flux across geological time. Nothing has ever 'always' been there, so we need to consider what part of the timeline is useful for our definitions. The Beringian migrations had the both Americas peopled by at least 10 thousand years ago, well before living memory and allowing for plenty of time for distinct societies, cultures and genetic haplogroups to develop.

Don't be so brainwashed.. It isn't all black or white. Oils are a crucial part of life! It's all about how much (and you do need quite a bit) and how it was made. Even palm oil isn't a bad oil itself, it's processed into that. Aside from the harms to the environment due to extreme amounts of it being made, it still has a decent nutritional value when it's unprocessed. The countries from which it originate do not seem to face the issues US has. It's a combination of different habits that cause harm
@@ryanbentley1965 you don’t live in America, most of us can’t afford to buy the healthier quality farm raised stuff because all of that stuff is so expensive
Western world organizations just creates a narrative from the sidelines and applying sanctions which worsens the economic situation in Indonesia.

Besides like any of the popular seed oils are any better.
It all has to do with food science if anyone is wondering. Trans fats were used so widely because cis unsaturated fats will oxidize and turn rancid way quicker. Rancid oil is sticky and has a weird sharp smell to it. The oxidation of unsaturated fats produces free radicals in your body. The bonds in trans fats are shaped in a way that oxygen molecules physically can’t fit into the molecule to oxidize it. So using trans fats or fully hydrogenated oils was common because 1. It keeps product from going bad quicker and 2. Free radicals are molecules without the right number of electrons in its valence electron shell, so the free radical oxygen bounces around your body stealing electrons from different things. This includes your DNA, which once damaged has the potential to produce cancer. So once we abolished added trans fats, palm oil was discovered as a natural source of trans fats. Companies are forced to used palm oil to maintain product quality and shelf life.
Why? Environment? It's the most resource efficient. Other vegetable oils would be far more environmentally destructive. If your concern specifically Orang Utans. Well you can try moving the industry somewhere else. But, It probably won't work since the locals need food more than seeing Orang Utans, they are not tourists after all. It's unhealthy? Well you know your body best, so no comment. But does not mean you can forbid other people from consuming it, since it's matter of personal choice. Or you hate deforestation and environment in general and hate industrial vegetable oils for their role in environmental destruction. You can start by living childfree live, maybe adopt if you want kids. Industrialization and efficiency of logistic system after all is consequence of overbreeding of human population.

The attributes of palm oil in cooking have long been recognised, especially in the preparation of high-heat Malaysian cuisines. As compared to other vegetable oils that are rich in unsaturated fats, palm oil is more resistant to high cooking temperatures and is also less easily degraded as it is stable due to its higher saturated content. This makes meals cooked with palm oil safer because less harmful chemicals can formed as a result of thermal oxidation. Other vegetable oils such as canola and olive oil have different fat compositions. Canola oil is abundant in polyunsaturated fats (linoleic acid or known as omega-6 fatty acid). Polyunsaturated fats are susceptible to deterioration and can produce a range of dangerous compounds when exposed to high temperature. In contrast, olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat (oleic acid or omega-9 fatty acid), which has higher heat resistance than polyunsaturated fats. Although there is a monounsaturated fat-rich variety of canola oil (high-oleic canola oil), it is produced using a genetic modification approach. Nonetheless, the performance of these two oils, olive and high-oleic canola oil, is still inferior to palm oil in terms of thermal stability, especially for deep-frying and other culinary applications. With the intention of providing healthy cuisines, few restaurants nowadays have wrongly switched from palm oil to olive and canola oil in their food preparation. This is due to a lack of knowledge on the health and nutritional advantages of palm oil among the restaurants operators. Numerous clinical research comparing the health effects of palm oil to those of olive and canola oils have shown the similar benefits. Palm oil has been proven as an excellent source of natural vegetable oil, suitable for consumption as part of a healthy, balanced diet. All of these studies were carried out by prominent international research institutes, and the results revealed that a palm oil-rich diet had the same effect on blood cholesterol levels as olive or canola oil. Palm oil was also demonstrated to have no link to the increased risks of heart disease or stroke.
Manufacturers switched to palm oil and replaced seed oil and animal fats in food manufacturing. Given current technology, these same fats are also available from coal. But it could be more expensive to convert coal to fats

While palm cultivation enriches the lives of the people living in this area, it is also driving many of the wildlife that originally lived here to the brink of extinction. A well-known example is the endangered Asian elephant.

A lot of older doctors are stuck in their ways and thought they could just stop learning in the 90s as soon as they got their degrees. Many things we thought we knew back then are obsolete now. Science is ever improving!
I knew it wasn't a healthy option but the main concern was the deforestation and the habitat loss for the orangutans and other animal species.
When I was young most of the country was jungle. Now when we drive from north to south its all palm plantation after palm plantation. Gone are the jungles, the elephants, the rhinos, the orang utan.
@@johnsheppard4428 I only saw that from online videos but it's scary.
I do understand that people need to make a living but some businesses are too greedy, deforest more to produce more. That has massive consequences on the environment.
We consumers are responsible but by avoiding buying anything with palm oil, we might prevent more deforestation.
That's all we can do from our side.
@@johnsheppard4428I try my best not to buy food with palm oil.
Rn the wildlife live in the palm plantation so it is not a huge habitat loss
@@aleeya00Bs. Nothing lives in palm plantations. Its monoculture. Only generalist, adaptable species can survive there.
Palm oil is high in saturated fats and has been linked to heart disease, cancer, and raising LDL cholesterol. Also, there are two types of palm oil, one of which is a seed oil and is considered processed (technically both are considered processed, but the seed portion is more so).
Yup just like all monounsaturated fats. Oils and fats from things we should never be taking the oil from and consuming like cotton oil or corn oil.
The body wasn't made to use monounsaturated fats and that's why if you don't eat any and consume only polyunsaturated fats like tallow of grass fed butter or olive oil your likelyhood of getting heart disease is much much much smaller.
is this why America is still fat as hell? then what was the point of getting rid of all the delicious trans fats?!?
You both are spouting misinformation. Tallow and "grass fed" butter are full of saturated fats, B and D vitamins which are fat soluble, and even good cholesterol that's why they're considered healthy. The body stores saturated fats. Avocados has high monounsaturated fats that's why they are healthy.
Polyunsaturated are that of margarine and highly processed seed oils. Palm oil ain't that of a health issue and far better than seed oils. The only major problem is agri monoculture and reduction of biodiversity by habitat destruction.
Wrong info mate 😂. Dont be fooled by US gov, they want sell more sunflower, canola, vegetable corn oil (protect the industry). The truth is, sunflower, canola, vegetable corn oil is far worst than palm oil. Research more about palm oil benefit u will get the truth
@@unagisama5476A 2015 meta-analysis and 2017 advisory from the American Heart Association indicated that palm oil is among foods supplying dietary saturated fat which increases blood levels of LDL cholesterol and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, leading to recommendations for reduced use or elimination of dietary palm oil in favor of consuming unhydrogenated vegetable oils.
Another fun fact. Palm oil can be further processed into diesel. Its also cheaper than regular diesel. Only available in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The future of world energy.
One major problem for that. You'll need more land, i.e. cutting down more forests to plant palm trees in order produce oil that are meant for vehicles.

Should we be eating something that can be turned into fuel?
Fun fact, The Indonesians and the Malaysians got the palm oil seedlings from Edo State, Nigeria, West Africa.
Fun fact: people say that vegetable oils are better than animal fats such as lard, used for most cooking before vegetable oils became highly popular, but interestingly, the rates of heart disease and obesity have actually gone up steadily together with the use of plant oils. The verdict is still out on whether this is correlation or causation, but there's a few reasons that suggest the latter.
Sure. Sugar consumption also went up significantly too.
The problem mostly is overprocessed and multiple times reheated seed oils. "Fruit oils" like coconut and olive oil are mostly fine
The main cause of heart disease and obesity is a lack of exersize
@@robertmedina3282 Oh yeah absolutely, and as far as I'm aware it's the leading cause of obesity in the modern world. An average person eats twice as many carbs as they need to fuel them.
Drawing conclusions between two things that both just correlate with time is always dubious. There are plenty of countries that eat primarily vegetable oils, even rich ones (see: Mediterranean olive oil consumption) that have much lower obesity. I don’t think a conclusion may be drawn here.
Palm oil plantations came online during those periods . Devastated their wildlife
Are you concerned with wildlife in general? Then stop consuming any vegetable oils in general, those are environmentally destructive.

Yes , me too. I consume a lot of saturated fats as I am on ketosis for a few years now. Butter, coconut, olive and palm oils are great because of mct oils in them.
Body fat (triglycerides) are created after carbohydrates digestion. Technically sugars turn fat, fats don't. Side Note: Obesity is caused because of high carb high fat high sugar (high fructose )processed foods ( preservatives). The issue is insulin resistance and too much carbs and not enough excercise.
No they both went up
Palm oil is also heavily contributing to deforestation and carbon emissions in Indonesia et al. The trees are only useful for one season (maybe a couple idr) so they burn them after each harvest 😬
It’s one of those things where it *looks* green from above, but it’s actually an ecological disaster
Your sooo right - thanks for bringing that up ✌️
👏👏👏 indeed my friend. I typically avoid as many products as possible if it contains palm oil.
Palm oil trees can be used up to 30years. If you want to ban one oil crop ban others too. Sunflower, canola, soybean are all annual plant and you need to plough the land EVERY year. Not to mention maize, wheat and other main crops. So stop the hypocrisy. Burn after each harvest? Please dont look stupid when you are trying to be smart. Help each other to make a better world.
In Malaysia palm oil stays productive on average for 25 years, so no, it's not cut down after every season as it takes 2-3 years for the trees to actually start producing fruits.
The clear-cutting and deforestation is because of land and forest being cleared for new plots of palm oil trees, not because they're cut down after every season.
Many forest animals including elephants and primates die from this habitat destruction to grow palm oil trees or to raise grass-fed cows. Both are horrible.
I know economically it's good, but I hate these palm oil plantations. Where I'm from 90% of the forest that my dad brought us for nice hikes and waterfalls have all been screwed over just to plant these.
The context here is: people who eat palm oil in cooking have nothing to fear about, it’s those who ate it from processed food are to worry because it’s laced with transfat and sugar that is plenty is western part of the world, people here have no problem whatsoever, because we eat to live, not live to eat.

Enlightening..But dark choc is good for your health and reduces depression. 🤗
Good info. You forgot the part where the struggling young widow/widower has two or three jobs and no time to cook. Or the struggling family where both parents work full time and OVERtime to make ends meet, and neither parent has the time or energy to cook healthy.
My husband, for example, has to work 7 days a week most of the time. He’s lucky if he can get two days off from work per month (and no, that’s not an exaggeration). We are pretty well off, but even so I went and got myself not just one but two jobs (because I like working).
Between the two of us working constantly, we barely saw our kids and my two eldest (13 and 11 at the time) were doing all the cooking. “Cooking” for a 13yo and 11yo amounts to making a pot of rice, cooking some pre-cooked chicken in the oven, and _maybe_ some sort of canned vegetables.
So just from that experience alone it wasn’t hard for me to understand how a single parent (or even a married couple) would be unable to cook healthy meals at home.
(It’s not that hard to understand if someone uses more than their last two brain cells on life support.)
I mean, the math is pretty simple. Most daytime jobs don’t let you clock out until 5. The average commute home is 30-45 minutes depending on traffic/area, but most people don’t make it home until 6. If bedtime is at 8 (like it is in my home), that doesn’t leave much time to cook and spend time with your family.
So it’s not hard to comprehend why so many people opt for the box dinners. If memory serves correctly, hamburger helper takes like, idk, 20 minutes tops? Anything healthy from scratch probably takes more than an hour. (I say that because it takes me at least half an hour just to make my homemade salad and homemade dressing that I eat every day. Adobo takes over an hour, sushi takes at least two hours depending on your ingredients and amount; tofu tikka masala takes over an hour…I could go on…)
I’ve cooked healthy and I’ve cooked unhealthy and I can tell you by far the unhealthy foods take less time.

@@davidb2206I'm curious to know how you define native. If populations don't become naturalized or native after thousands of years (and yes, the first Beringian migrations did happen at least a few thousand years before colonial Europeans arrived (not talking about the ancient Nordic travellers)), then what can be considered native?
Are there any native Europeans? Any native Africans outside of the actual cradle? What about animals? Any native South American carnivorans considering their ancestors only moved there over the newly formed Isthmus of Panama approx 3 million years ago?
We need to acknowledge that things are constantly in flux across geological time. Nothing has ever 'always' been there, so we need to consider what part of the timeline is useful for our definitions. The Beringian migrations had the both Americas peopled by at least 10 thousand years ago, well before living memory and allowing for plenty of time for distinct societies, cultures and genetic haplogroups to develop.

It all has to do with food science if anyone is wondering. Trans fats were used so widely because cis unsaturated fats will oxidize and turn rancid way quicker. Rancid oil is sticky and has a weird sharp smell to it. The oxidation of unsaturated fats produces free radicals in your body. The bonds in trans fats are shaped in a way that oxygen molecules physically can’t fit into the molecule to oxidize it. So using trans fats or fully hydrogenated oils was common because 1. It keeps product from going bad quicker and 2. Free radicals are molecules without the right number of electrons in its valence electron shell, so the free radical oxygen bounces around your body stealing electrons from different things. This includes your DNA, which once damaged has the potential to produce cancer. So once we abolished added trans fats, palm oil was discovered as a natural source of trans fats. Companies are forced to used palm oil to maintain product quality and shelf life.
Thanks for that information!! 😮😅❤️

"Sir, most of the products contains so much saturated fats"
"Alright. Let's use less saturated fats"
"You're welcome!"

Palm oil is possibly the single worse thing to happen to Indonesia, and the rest of the world for that matter. Those palm plantations are ecological deserts where there is virtually no life. The only sound is trucks and chainsaws, no birds, monkeys, or chirping of anything. 😢
Palm oil is pretty bad, but it's not the worst thing. The worst thing: population overbreeding.
It's this that actually make palm oil plantation and other environmentally destructive extractive industry necessary: more mouths to feed.
Stop breeding, start childfree life, adopt instead of breed.
Tell us you're not from indonesia without telling you're not from indonesia
They came and took the seed from Nigeria😂😂😂😂😂
I was stunned when I found palm oil in my pc while I was cleaning the vents.
My dad refuses to eat anything with palm oil in it... he's convinced it's poisonous... anytime he's in a grocery store, he reads every label before putting it in the cart...
Even "bad" insects play a good role.
Not to mention the destruction of rainforests in order to get that palm oil
It's in cowfeed too - that's why butter doesn't melt like it used to.
NICE INFIRMATION, THANK YOU
The attributes of palm oil in cooking have long been recognised, especially in the preparation of high-heat Malaysian cuisines. As compared to other vegetable oils that are rich in unsaturated fats, palm oil is more resistant to high cooking temperatures and is also less easily degraded as it is stable due to its higher saturated content. This makes meals cooked with palm oil safer because less harmful chemicals can formed as a result of thermal oxidation.
Other vegetable oils such as canola and olive oil have different fat compositions. Canola oil is abundant in polyunsaturated fats (linoleic acid or known as omega-6 fatty acid). Polyunsaturated fats are susceptible to deterioration and can produce a range of dangerous compounds when exposed to high temperature. In contrast, olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat (oleic acid or omega-9 fatty acid), which has higher heat resistance than polyunsaturated fats.
Although there is a monounsaturated fat-rich variety of canola oil (high-oleic canola oil), it is produced using a genetic modification approach. Nonetheless, the performance of these two oils, olive and high-oleic canola oil, is still inferior to palm oil in terms of thermal stability, especially for deep-frying and other culinary applications.
With the intention of providing healthy cuisines, few restaurants nowadays have wrongly switched from palm oil to olive and canola oil in their food preparation. This is due to a lack of knowledge on the health and nutritional advantages of palm oil among the restaurants operators. Numerous clinical research comparing the health effects of palm oil to those of olive and canola oils have shown the similar benefits. Palm oil has been proven as an excellent source of natural vegetable oil, suitable for consumption as part of a healthy, balanced diet. All of these studies were carried out by prominent international research institutes, and the results revealed that a palm oil-rich diet had the same effect on blood cholesterol levels as olive or canola oil. Palm oil was also demonstrated to have no link to the increased risks of heart disease or stroke.
Manufacturers switched to palm oil and replaced seed oil and animal fats in food manufacturing. Given current technology, these same fats are also available from coal. But it could be more expensive to convert coal to fats
Makes sense. Palms are kind of like prehistoric foliage and before bees had even come around to exist, beetles were the pollinators.
Africa is blessed
I thought he was going to say we've been eating bugs....whew!
No, actually we don’t all unknowingly consume 8kg of palm oil a year. I won’t eat anything with processed oils in it.
Obviously. He's referring to the average - the ratio between total population and total oil consumed.
Publix switched to palm oil for their buttercream and it will never be the same. 😭
Here in India a dairy company has begun selling bread saying it is made using no palm oil, instead only with butter
Just this morning I overheard my mom chatting with her friend on how old age disease is afflicting people with arthritis, hypertension, strokes etc even at age 65... However, these were not known amongst their own parents who reach 90 years and above without health issues and are strong trekking over 5 miles daily to farm etc... I simply told them that it's change in food consumption especially palm oil
Palm oil is all but banned from Sweden due to its horrific environmental effects. No local factories use it, solely imported goods do.
While palm cultivation enriches the lives of the people living in this area, it is also driving many of the wildlife that originally lived here to the brink of extinction. A well-known example is the endangered Asian elephant.
Good topic
