Hello,

The following link claim/tells lot of health benefits of PALM OIL:-

http://www.mpopc.org.my/consumer_health_benefits.asp

Healthier Hearts
Beautiful Skin
Diets & Eating
Preventing Cancer
Excellent Energy

These effects were thought just opposite previously.

No doubt, it a fruit pulp oil(alike olive oil) instead of seed oil. Its extraction/output is more than 20 times than other seed, so cheap. Being cheaper, it might remained backbencher, inspite better qualities.

What do you suggest/tell accordingly.

Best wishes.

Palm oil won't do that at all, BTW, there is nothing which prevents or helps to prevent ALL cancers; cancers come in extremely different types.

All of that depends on what else you do, how you exercise, what else you eat, how much luck you have. None of them are extensively helped in any way by palm oil.

Vested interest.
 
Welcome here, I think other recent reports done in USA, suggest alike it. Pls refresh yourself & study recent reports. Nothing as vested interests.
 
Kumar, is there any particular reason anybody should study this for you?

Kumar, I have done as you requested and read all the reports you provided links to.

Palm Oil is no magic ingredient, it confers no extraordinary health benefits.
 
Palm oil is more than just your every day vegetable oil. It's packed with nutrients that contribute to your daily energy needs. Palm oil provides a valuable source of beta carotene and vitamin E. Studies have found that tocopherols and tocotrienols, which are isomers of vitamin E found in palm oil, are antioxidants and may be associated with more favorable cholesterol profiles, and lower risk of heart disease and some types of cancer.

This is from the Americal Palm Oil Council. We need to look it in its recent status of research. This is extracted from fruit pulp instead most other from seeds--which nature might be protenting. Fruit juice/oil may be softer/lighter than seed juice. I think this oil is tasteless, odorless & snacks fried in it have better self-life. Fried snacks in it have better/origional taste as there is no taste of this oil included in those snacks. I think most french fries are fried in it. I think, it don't leave black( may be oxidised carbon) substance on burning in the container. Can you check some recent researches on it? Can't it be discouraged as "may be good, goods may not be entitled in current age"?:D Can't it be intentionally discouraged due to other oil's lobb's interest/vested interests as this is cheap & specific to few underdeveloped countries, probably?

A misperception from the past?
There's a good chance you've heard palm oil erroneously referred to and grouped together with palm kernel oil and coconut oil as a "tropical oil," a contributor to high cholesterol levels, or even as a trans-fat. Palm fruit oil is different and contains much less saturated fat than coconut and palm kernel oil. http://www.americanpalmoil.com/benefits.html

May this be a reason?

Since the early 1990's, there has been a phenomenal increase in the scientific literature published in relation to the health effects of palm oil. Several international conferences devoted solely to palm oil research have published their research findings as part of special supplemental issues of internationally reputable, peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Am. J. Clin. Nutr.
(1991) Volume 53 Food Nutr. Bull.
(1994) Volume 15
J. Nutr. Biochem.

Anything can be possible in modern world. Search by "palm oil" at pubmed brings many contradictory studies.


These changes in phosphorylation were associated with improved functional recovery and reduced cleavage of an apoptotic marker, arguing that dietary RPO[red palm oil] supplementation may confer protection via the MAPK and PKB/Akt signaling pathways during ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury.

In conclusion, hamsters fed the three palm oil preparations had lower plasma TC and non-HDL-C and higher HDL-C concentrations while accumulating less aortic cholesterol concentrations compared to hamsters fed coconut oil.

These data suggest that as currently used in Costa Rica, and most likely in many other developing countries, the replacement of palm oil with a polyunsaturated nonhydrogenated vegetable oil would reduce the risk of MI.

So we may try to understand, dynamically.:D

Kumar,

I realise that reading comprehension is not your strong suit but this just about takes the biscuit.

Lisa Simpson provided a link to a study which found that palm oil was higher risk than sunflower or soyabean oil.

You provide links to studies comparing palm oil and polyunsaturated nonhydrogenated vegetable oil (palm oil relatively bad) and palm oil and coconut oil (palm oil relatively good) and claim that they are contradictory.

You are aware that coconut oil is not polyunsaturated nonhydrogenated vegetable oil don't you ?

My intention in that post was to indicate(not claim) that there are contradictions in this oil understandings.

As I asked in another topic, can all the mentionings in previous links, which I provided be completely wrong? Those are some govt. agencies/big org., can't those be sued, if fraudlent/biased informations on internet is displayed by them for such an mass used health oriented product?

In many cases the bias is one of ommission. For example you could say something like:

"Cigarettes have been used my many who consider them a way of calming the nerves"

While this is not untrue, it fails to present the entire picture

This same approach is taken in film and book promotional matierial where quotes such as ".....this is the finest book ever written." is quoted from a full sentence which reads "I'd rather have my eyes gouged from my head with a rusty spoon than give the impression that this is the finest book ever written."

Please note that the above is a made up example

Where is the contradiction? You have a study that says A>B, and another that says B>C. Unless you provide one that says A<C, you have no contradiction.
 
Here you go, Kumar.

1) Palm oil is good for you.
2) Palm oil is bad for you.

Choose whichever statement you like, take a note of the number of that statement, write that number down carefully on a postcard, take the postcard to the post-office, make sure it is properly stamped, and then send it to ANYBODY BUT US!
 
Don, how then to decide, what is really true. If this nuch misguidance possible, anything can be thought as misguided. If this is proven that palm oil is bad for health all these informations are jusy misguidance, why action is not taken? According to your indications we can't trust anything.
