C12s are like long chain fatty acids that got categorised into medium chain,” says Wallace. “About 70% of C12s act as long chain fatty acids, which are transported to the liver.” Longer chain fatty acids are more likely to be stored in the liver as fat and could, over time, cause health issues such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 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. However, consuming olive oil by following the Mediterranean diet was associated with improved glucose levels, which is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes if it is too high. It also reduced the level of triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and LDL cholesterol levels.

Researchers reviewed 30 studies where participants’ diets were altered to test the effects of olive oil, and found that the Mediterranean diet led to lower glucose levels and higher LDL compared to the Western diet. Intervening that diet with olive oil, where it had a high polyphenol content, further increased HDL.

Whenever a food becomes as universal as palm oil, it’s important to consider its effects on health.

Nutrition Information 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:Oils used for cooking tend to get their name from the nut, seeds, fruits, plants or cereals they’re extracted from, either by methods of crushing, pressing, or processing.

Facts About CAROTINO PREMIUM Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fatty acids. If your cholesterol is in the healthy range, consuming olive oil is fine. Since monounsaturated fatty acids are neutral, they won’t cause trouble with your cholesterol. However they also can’t get you out of trouble if your body is desperately needing more polyunsaturated fatty acids. Consuming too much saturated fat – more than 20g for women and 30g for men per day, according to UK guidelines – makes the body produce cholesterol in our bodies that increases the risk of heart disease. While Carotino Red Palm & Canola Oil is trending among both healthy choosers and gourmet cooks, there is still some confusion about where and when to use this healthy oil versus olive oil. Factors that you should take into consideration include your current cholesterol level and the temperature of the dish you plan to prepare. Carotenes and Vitamin E in CAROTINO® act as scavengers of damaging free-radicals and play a protective role in ageing, atherosclerosis and cancer.
