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.Source:-https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/health/palm-oil-what-is-it-should-you-consume-7276057/Disclaimer:-This information is not a substitute for medical advice.
