Malaysia produces a lot of palm oil, and my observation of the women there is they are way way grossly overweight which I think is put down to the fact of all their food contains or is cooked in palm oil. But most don't care cause they hide it all under their tent style clothes they wear.
It would be interesting to look at the stats on heart attacks in Malaysia compared to other countries.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Palm oil consumed as a dietary fat as a part of a healthy balanced diet does not have incremental risk for cardiovascular disease. Little or no additional benefit will be obtained by replacing it with other oils rich in mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids.

I'm very sure we've had a chat about this around seven or eight years ago, and you were not a fan of palm oil at that time.

I,m not a fan of palm oil at all and would never use the stuff, I use olive oil and Peanut oil. However I was responding to the ops palmoil concerns and asking for some citations showing his concerns. I cited a paper whose conclusion you quote above
as another perspective
"Palm oil consumed as a dietary fat as a part of a healthy balanced diet does not have incremental risk for cardiovascular disease. Little or no additional benefit will be obtained by replacing it with other oils rich in mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids.

As SternAAlbifrons points out Palm Oil seems to be contentious and the problem seems to be when it is in the oxidised state. He cites a couple of articles addressing this. so the op has a few articles to peruse.

Not least because the palm oil and processed food industry funds a lot of "research"
I searched for the funders of this paper and could not find ant indication - always a reason for caution.

There are many studies which point out very real dangers to human health caused by palm oil,particularly when processed - AND because of the way it is is farmed (leaving out the catastrophic impact on the environment itself)

"A considerable amount of the commonly used palm oil is in the oxidized state which possesses potential dangers to the physiological and biochemical functions of the body. Oxidation is as a result of processing the oil for various culinary purposes. Studies have revealed that relative to fresh palm oil, oxidized palm oil induces an adverse plasma lipid profile, free fatty acids, phospholipids and cerebrosides. Additionally, oxidized palm oil induces reproductive toxicity and organotoxicity particularly of the kidneys, lungs, liver and heart."

Study in WHO journal likens palm oil lobbying to tobacco and alcohol industries

"We highlight the industry’s mutually profitable relationship with the processed food industry and its impact on human and planetary health, including detrimental cultivation practices that are linked to respiratory illnesses, deforestation, loss of biodiversity and pollution. This analysis illustrates many parallels to the contested nature of practices adopted by the alcohol and tobacco industries. The article concludes with suggested actions for researchers, policy-makers and the global health community to address and mitigate the negative impacts of the palm oil industry on human and planetary health."

Agree that it is definitely harmful environmentally, I believe laws should be passed requiring labeling clearly identifying its use and the percentage of the product.

I’m leaving for Cambo soon and I’ve been reading a lot about palm oils causing massive heart attack around a 6 month period of heavy consumption and also other vegetable oils in Cambodia that will literally cause plaque in your artery and kill you very fast.

How do you guys avoid these dangerous oils? Do you just cook yourself and avoid them or what? Definitely stay away from palm Oil, you will die fast
You sir an absolute genius. I have been puzzling over all these heart attack deaths in Cambodia for years. This is it!

14 days in Cambodian quarantine will take his mind off the dangers of palm oil.

Of all the things potential newcomers worry about, has anyone heard of anything so obscure as palm oil?

There is good reason that calories from fat is listed in the "Nutrition Facts." And while nobody should think about it with a balanced diet, mine sure isnt. And many others overeat. This definitely accounts for the unusual amount of heart attacks in Cambodia.

Cite your references for this assumption please.

Palm oil and the heart: A review World: Osaretin J Odia, Sandra Ofori, and Omosivie Maduka. J Cardiol. 2015 Mar 26; 7(3): 144–149.

Palm oil consumed as a dietary fat as a part of a healthy balanced diet does not have incremental risk for cardiovascular disease. Little or no additional benefit will be obtained by replacing it with other oils rich in mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Therefore, in conclusion it is the opinion of the authors that palm oil consumed as a dietary fat as part of a healthy balanced diet does not have incremental risk for cardiovascular disease. Little or no additional benefit will be obtained by replacing it with other oils rich in mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids. We recognize that more longitudinal population-based studies are needed to fully characterize the impact of the consumption of diets, which utilize palm oil compared to other accepted “heart healthy” oils like olive oil on the future risk of heart disease using lipid parameters as intermediate markers of risk.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4365303/
Palm oil is a vegetable oil that contains 50% triglycerides that are known to increase the risk for stroke, heart attack, heart disease by hardening and thickening the arteries. Palm oil also contains 40% oleic acid, a heart-healthy fatty acid.
