The nutrition-packed vegetable oil A member of the vegetable oil family, palm fruit oil is cholesterol free and it supplies our bodies with some basic daily energy needs. Why palm oil is better for health. Palm fruit oil, naturally semi-solid at room temperature, does not require hydrogenation. It is a good replacement for partially hydrogenated oils for many reasons. Palm fruit oil is trans fat free. Palm fruit oil provides the same "hard or solid" fat that is required for pastries, cookies, crackers and other items that require long shelf stability and a particular mouth feel or texture. Palm fruit oil is odorless and tasteless, perfect for consumers and manufacturers alike looking for a healthy oil for cooking and baking needs. Palm fruit oil is rich in antioxidants. Animal studies have found that tocotrienols may have the abilty to reverse blockage of the carotid artery and platelet aggregration thereby reducing the risk of stroke, arteriosclerosis and other heart disease problems. Animal studies have found that tocotrienols may exhibit activity against tumor promotion. Cellular and animal studies have found that tocotrienols may inhibit certain types of cancer. Palm fruit oil increases 'good' HDL, compared to other saturated oils, suach as coconut oil. 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. Palm oil products are trans-fat free. Palm fruit oil contains a variety of fats, vitamins and nutrients, but NO trans-fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are found pre-dominantly in hydrogenated oils.


Several recent studies have implicated trans-fatty acids in increasing the risk of cancer, interfering with fat metabolism, enhancing fatty deposits in the arteries, and reducing the body's ability to rid itself of carcinogens, drugs and other toxins. Palm fruit oil is made up of a mixture of fatty acids and contains valuable vitamins and nutrition that our bodies need. Human studies have shown that a palm oil-enriched diet does not raise blood cholesterol, and may even lead to lower plasma cholesterol (the HDL level of cholesterol most commonly linked to heart disease). The majority of palm oil's use in foods - in the baking of cookies and crackers, for example- is in a non-hydrogenated form. Palm oil. A source of goodness! Palm fruit oil is one of the most nutrition filled vegetable oils on the market.
