0monnakoda: I was able to find a study by Ibegbulem and Chikezie, both biochemists, but which involved work with rats fed with palm oil, palm kernel oil, and a third control group. They opened by stating that palm oil contains 50% saturated fats, and 50% Unsaturated fats. Hence, said it was not atherogenic. But the work was headed for controversy as the rats fed with palm oil diets, and those fed palm kernel oil showed a lower HDL (good cholesterol) than those in the control group, with Palm Kernel oil effecting a greater reduction. But, LDL (bad cholesterol) levels in the rats fed palm oil were the same as for the control group, while showing a 22% rise for the palm kernel oil group. The researchers conclude that " the seeming non-atherogenic nature of palm oil may have been due to it's greater array of antioxidants" If I've learnt anything from the study, it's to avoid palm kernel oil. More work needs to be done, no doubt. http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/academicjournals/ajb/0000/37553-37553.pdf |

not just palm oil, any thing you eat too much is not good for you, even water |

If you eat any food high in poly saturated fat like palm oil, you should please not drink cold water. Cold water causes the palm oil to clog and then it blocks the arteries leading to heart attack. drink lukewarm water. |

No mind oyibo people, it is their business strategy to first scare you before they sell you something. I have heard of this, palm oil is bad for you, research and there have been similar research/scares on palm-wine, pounded yam and garri. It was said that alcohol and pounded yam constitute to make a potent poison. All of these research are probably lies bent on depriving Nigerians of their food stuff so that Nigerians become absolute consumers of European and Asian commodities. Here's a remarkable thing - after i read the stuff on palm oil being bad for you, my girlfriend one day returned with a very sophisticated designed bottle of palm-oil which was made in Scotland (i think) and marketed as premium palm oil,listing its health giving values. That's oyibo for you. |

passion007: The arguments are supported by "facts" on both sides.How can Nigerian scientists do research when they are busy looking for money and fighting for who's 'professional' and who's not.The real research scientists are the ones tagged 'non professionals' and cut out from employment while the so called 'professionals' get all the jobs and support from government,but are more concerned about their pockets and care less about research. |

0monnakoda: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1836037Med J Malaysia. 1991 Mar;46(1):41-50. You see Oyinbo people with their petty 419(only dem get authentic)..na so dem go tell you say 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' so that dem go sell wella..yet dem still dey sick and die like ant with all the apple wey dem don chop. The minute an African country introduces something beneficial, they shoot it down with stewpid negative research. "An Agbalumo a dey keeps d borry gim gim o" unfortunately our scientist here are not really into research..I know there are local fruits around us that are more nutritional and beneficial than their "apple" but we choose to ignore them because 'oyinbo haff said' (I know am guilty) |

We itsekiri have been eating banga soup, owo, egun obobo(pounded ripe plantain with palm oil), yam and palm oil with pepper soup and red oil for centuries before the white men came and we have very little incident of heart attack. In fact you will hardly find heart disease in itsekiri villages where palm oil is consumed everyday. So many things can lead to heart disease especially a modern lifestyle where we eat lots of fatty food or high cholesterol diet, with salt and spices, have very little exercise and undergo lots of work related stress. |

Take a look this: Pesticides limit the action of beneficial microbes in soil that help plants draw in nutrients. Fertilizers focus on certain key chemicals and don’t take into account the trace minerals, organic components, or beneficial microbes. Genetically modified foods have made their way into our food supply, and we don’t know how they will affect us long term. On top of these problems, we refine and process our food so it lasts longer, tastes better, and is more addictive. We strip and destroy vital nutrients as we do so. Much of the food we find in grocery stores barely resembles what humanity has been eating for thousands of years. There’s no wonder we have so many auto-immune disorders, food allergies, and growing epidemics with obesity. Our bodies don’t know what we’re ingesting; they aren’t finding the nutrients they need; and they are begging for us to eat more, so we do and get fat http://www.sunwarrior.com/news/natural-vs-synthetic-vitamins/ In other words, your Nigerian roadside roasted yams, corns, your cow-skins (kpomo) your Agidi, isam, Moimoi, palm-oil's, Eba, Nigerian soups, I.E Nigerian traditional foods are far, far, far healthier and better for you than imports. If you're lazy, better you give your small child soaked garri or Akamoo, as in the old days, than give them Noodles. Those packet noodles are virtually worthless; your child is likely to grow up short, if you feed them contemporary oyigbo food in their formative years. |

Elmos: I think the above article by Elmos had settled te wgole issue. The western mistaken Red palm oil an Palm Kernel Oil. Red Palm oil is not bad it the palm kernel oil that is bad. |
