It all started about a decade ago during the early 2000s, in what appears to be an independent search. Researchers from Monash University (Australia) and University of Uyoin (Nigeria) began to analyse the key components that make palm oil so unique and both came up with strikingly similar conclusions.

the health benefits of palm oil include reduced risk of a variety of disease processes including:

  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Arterial thrombosis
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Cancer
  • Cataracts
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Macular degeneration
  • Platelet aggregation (blood clotting)
  • Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels)
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Vitamin A deficiency
  • It has great cooking properties BECAUSE it maintains its properties even under high temperatures.
  • Its smooth and creamy texture and absence of smell which makes it a perfect ingredient.
  • It has a natural preservative effect which extends the shelf life of food products.
  • It is also the highest-yielding vegetable oil crop, which makes it very efficient. It needs less than half the land required by other crops to produce the same amount of oil. Palm oil helps to preserve the environment better than other vegetable oils.

This amount of palm oil also contains 120 calories, 1 mcg vitamin K, and 2.17 mg of vitamin E. Fresh red palm oil has all these nutrients in high amount.
