Palm oil is one of the most versatile food products in the world.
It's used for preparing meals as well as an ingredient in
margarine, ice cream and many other foods. Palm oil, and red palm
oil in particular, is made from the fruit of the African oil palm,
both the seed and the flesh. While this substance has been used by
humans for thousands of years, the production of palm oil has
skyrocketed over the past few decades. Red palm oil is less refined
than bleached palm oil. The refinement process involved in
producing red palm oil removes fewer nutrients, which makes red
palm oil a potentially healthier alternative to standard palm oil.
Whenever a food becomes as universal as palm oil, it’s important
to consider its effects on health. Science has taken to researching
this oil to identify the health benefits it provides as well as its
potential risks. Nutrition Information A one-tablespoon serving of
palm oil contains: Calories: **0 Protein: Less than 1 gram Fat: *4
grams Carbohydrates: Less than 1 gram Fiber: Less than 1 gram
Sugar: Less than 1 gram Red palm oil is a great source of
carotenoids and vitamin E, which act as antioxidants to help
prevent cell damage. Getting enough vitamin E also helps your cells
communicate and keeps your immune system in good condition. Studies
also show that getting enough vitamin E in your diet can reduce
your risk of certain forms of cancer, heart disease, and age -
related macular degeneration. Potential Health Benefits of Red Palm
Oil Red palm oil is a great source of nutrients and antioxidants,
but factors such as its fat content and cholesterol can create
complications for some people. Studies have found some potential
health benefits to consuming red palm oil: Better Heart Health In
the right circumstances, red palm oil may offer significant
benefits to heart health. The antioxidant effects of the vitamin E
and carotenoids in red palm oil appear to help prevent
atherosclerosis, or the narrowing of blood vessels. More studies
need to be done to confirm this effect, but current research is
promising. Improved Brain Health As with heart health, red palm oil
may offer brain benefits. The vitamin E in red palm oil may be able
to reduce or halt the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s
disease due to lesions on the brain. This is because vitamin E
protects the brain from free radicals, which can damage your
neurons. Support Eye Health Studies suggest that getting enough oil
in your diet can help you absorb vitamin A and other fat-soluble
vitamins more effectively. If you have cystic fibrosis or another
condition that makes absorbing fat difficult, adding palm oil to
your diet may significantly improve your levels of vitamin A. This
vitamin is also critical to the health of your eyes, so palm oil
may help reduce your risk of vision problems. Potential Risks of
Red Palm Oil Because red palm oil has so many uses, you should
consult with your doctor before taking it or any other supplement.
Consider the following before using palm oil in your cooking:
Higher Cholesterol While the vitamin E in red palm oil may improve
heart health, other aspects of the oil can lead to heart problems.
Compared with other liquid vegetable oils, red palm oil is worse at
lowering cholesterol, and may even raise “bad†LDL cholesterol
levels. One study found that palm oil increased cholesterol in
healthy individuals compared with olive oil, for example. Increased
Risk of Disease Another drawback to red palm oil is that it is high
in saturated fats compared with other oils. Olive oil, which is
often touted as containing healthy fats, has less than half the
amount of saturated fat as red palm oil. Because saturated fats
have been linked with an increased risk of heart disease, this puts
red palm oil at a disadvantage compared with other vegetable oils.
