Olive Oil in better

when we were younger,my sisters used to tease me for choosing palmoil to eat yam rather than eggs (still dont like egg that much now). they need to read this piece

Any oil that freezes/solidifies at room temperature is not good for the heart and blood vessels. A typical red palm oil will always freeze at room temperature unlike soybean oil and olive oil. Even the groundnut oil also does the same wt red palm oil. Research shows that the palm oil or groundnut oil when present in the blood also tends to freeze and thereby obstructing the flow of blood in the blood vessels. And due to modernization, palm oil produced in industrial scale is even worse because they do not seperate the oil properly from a by-product we call 'oguru' in my dialect (Izhiangbo, Ebonyi state). But the palm oil produced localy is properly seperated from the oguru and therefore has a lower tendency of freezing at room temperature. And from what i have observed Ebonyi state produces the best palm oil in terms of quality (but not quantity) because most of the oil is processed localy.

except if you're a cold blooded animal, i dont see any reason why you should be worried about palmoil solidifying in your system. your insides are warmer than room temperature

even at body temperature they can still solidify. Imagine the kind of temp. U subject ur g.nut oil that has solidified before they melt

I like it better in all soups than vegetable oil which I like for frying and dish of rice.

Good...

Thanks for d info.I love yam, coco-yam and red palm oil.

Oh yeah! Tank gawd we have white yam with red oil in our lunch list today

drnoel: it has also been implicated in the developement of high calorie associated diseases. Besides I wonder why one would want to consume something that is so remarkably used in the production of soaps, detergents and creams

it's not the pure red oil that is use for soap production, I think it's the byproduct of red oil. Fiber or something.

Is there blue palm oil? Just wondering y red was specified

[quote author=etunoman76]Red palm oil is healthier than olive oil and coconut oil and has been proven to reverse the symptoms of heart disease and protect against certain canc

Move over olive and coconut—there’s a new oil in town proven even more effective at cutting the risk of heart disease and degenerative illnesses: red palm oil.

Red palm oil has been celebrated as a healing tonic among ancient civilizations, but has been overlooked by modern health practitioners due to its mistaken similarities to palm kernel oil. Both palm kernel and red palm oil originate from the oil palm Elaeis guineesis. But palm kernel oil is derived from the seed, while red palm oil is extracted from the fruit.

Recent research suggests that the two aren’t as alike as previously thought, as red palm oil has shown superior health benefits to not only palm kernel oil, but to virtually every other edible oil on the planet! In fact, Dr. Oz claims, “none compare to the powerful nutritional virtues of red palm oil.”

A Nutritional Powerhouse

Rich in phytonutrients, red palm oil owes the majority of its antioxidant super powers to its high concentration of carotenes and tocotrienols. You’ve probably heard about carotenes such as lycopene and beta-carotene, which lend the bright red and orange hues—and powerful health benefits—to tomatoes and carrots. Red palm oil significantly contains more potent levels of these phytonutrients.

Tocotrienols are a superior form of vitamin E (40 to 60 times more powerful than tocopherols) that control free radicals and inflammation (the primary cause of heart disease). Tocotrienols are also powerful anti-cancer agents that help ward off cancers of the skin, stomach, pancreas, liver, lung, colon, prostate and breast.

Over 700 published studies have shown that tocotrienols have an unprecedented number of health benefits when combined with the other super nutrients in red palm oil, which include: a unique complex of phytosterolsplant squaleneco-enzyme Q10carotenes

Unprecedented Health Benefits

Red palm oil is an overall immune system tonic that improves liver detoxification and can help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NFLAD). It protects against osteoporosis and arthritis. Both tocotrienols and mixed carotenes naturally accumulate in the outermost layer of the epidermis, thereby shielding hair and skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.

However, the most well-documented and scientifically validated nutritional benefit of red palm oil relates to heart health. Even though red palm oil is high in saturated fat, it actually helps prevent and reverse heart disease. Studies have shown that the oil breaks down plague buildup in the arteries and prevents blockages from forming.

Red palm oil is a potent natural anti-inflammatory, and as such helps to prevent inflammation in the artery lining. Science has now confirmed that inflammation in the arterial linings is the major cause of cholesterol buildup! Red palm oil naturally improves cholesterol and lowers high blood pressure.

A study funded by the National Institutes of Health found that red palm oil reduces your risk of stroke by 50% due to its protective effects on brain cells. The super vitamin E in red palm oil stimulates blood flow to the brain and also defends against Alzheimer’s disease and dementia!

Sustainable Red Palm Oil

Unfortunately, red palm oil is the subject of much controversy. Production and demand of red palm oil have led to deforestation and the demise of the orangutan population. In 2004, a nonprofit organization called the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was founded to partner conservation groups with palm oil firms in order to create more sustainable manufacturing practices. When looking for palm oil, make sure it carries the RSPO stamp of approval.

Red palm oil should also carry the labels “virgin” and “organic.” When processed and refined, red palm oil loses not only its dark color… but also all of its nutritional benefits. If ever you see red palm oil listed as an ingredient in processed snack food, you can be sure it’s not the heart healthy kind.

Experts recommend that to treat a chronic health condition or for a dose of extra protection, supplement with one to two tablespoons of virgin organic RSPO-approved red palm oil daily.= = = = = = = = = = =

This is such a revelation and a relief from all the myths. I have really been wondering how it didn’t affect our fathers who lived so long in great health yet had palm oil completely as part of their life.
