Common Questions about Palm oil

What is palm oil?

Palm oil is a type of vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees. It is commonly used in a wide range of food products, as well as in non-food items such as soaps and cosmetics.

What are the health benefits of palm oil?

Palm oil contains a balance of healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, as well as vitamin E tocotrienols. These nutrients help support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant protection for cells.

What are the health risks of palm oil?

Palm oil is high in saturated fats, which can increase levels of LDL cholesterol in the body. High consumption of palm oil has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Additionally, the process of producing palm oil can contribute to deforestation and habitat loss for wildlife.

How much palm oil to eat per day?

It is recommended to limit the consumption of palm oil due to its high saturated fat content. The American Heart Association suggests that most of the fats we consume should be unsaturated, and that saturated fats should make up less than 6% of our total daily calories. Therefore, it is best to consume palm oil in moderation, and to opt for healthier oils such as olive, canola, or sunflower oil for cooking and meal preparation.
