Dangerous Effects of Palm Oil!

Why is palm oil considered unhealthy, especially concerning cholesterol levels and potential risks to heart health?

These follow are :-

• A comparison study between palm oil, olive oil, and coconut oil revealed that palm oil, when consumed, can elevate levels of "bad" cholesterol. This effect was particularly pronounced in healthy individuals.

• Variations in tocotrienol levels and saturated fats between fresh and aged palm oil can contribute to cholesterol buildup in arteries.

• Palm oil, containing approximately 34% saturated fat, notably palmitic acid from palm kernel oil, poses an increased risk of heart disease and other health issues upon consumption.

• Studies indicate that the presence of palmitic acid in palm oil can reduce mice's responsiveness to hormones like leptin and insulin, potentially increasing appetite and leading to overeating.
