What are the health risks/benefits of Palm Oil?!
Question: What are the health risks/benefits of Palm Oil?
Answers:
I was under the understanding that palm and coconut oils can do nothing but clog arteries, and have no health benefits. I even called the company that makes similac, the baby formula, and told them off for using it, I said we have babies now dying of heart attacks, and they said well what then do you suggest we use, I said anything but not those. Now they are using I think it's soy and safflour (don't know spelling) oils...I think they used the palm and coconut oils because they were cheaper and they didn't spoil so easily, I thought rightly names simi lack, cuz it lacked about everything, they have made the formula better, but if you want your child to have a long and healthy life, it is always better to breastfeed.
Although both palm oil and coconut oil are saturated fats they nevertheless have a lot of health benefits as well. See the palm oil link below.
