[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1645051, member: 196898"] It is easy to confuse Palm oil which is like most other vegetable oils with Palmitic Acid or Stearic acid, which are most easily converted into transfats and which are very close in chemical compound to acetone which is a basic building block in human biology (aka lego bricks) The acids can lead to inflammation in the body and are considered harmful. e.g. [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21753123[/URL] for a bit of light reading (Not!) There are environmental reasons why one should reconsider using Palm Oil in diet (South Sea Bubble?) since the crop is depleting useful land mass for its cultivation. It is mainly used for biofuel synthesis now, and bottles of palm oil are hard to find in supermarts. [/QUOTE]
