There is certainly also a difference between industrial processed decolored, deodorized white palm oil and natural dark orange palm oil. Especially regarding vitamin content (tocotrienoles - vitamin e)
Red Palm oil is rich in tocopherols, so is anti cancer. And Palmitic acid is in mother milk, is good for you, in Africa cancer is rare and new, and the parts of Brazil who eat red palm oil, cancer is very rare and new, the parts of Brazil people never eat, cancer is old and have a lot cancer. Europeans , North Americans and Australians Will keep being the kings of cancer in the world, while demonized red palm oil.
Palm oil is not a bad oil to use, especially the darker coloured ones. The most dangerous oil which should come into comparison here are the so called ‘vegetable oil’ (which, of course, there’s no such thing as vegetable oil) like rap seed oil/canola oil. Apart from olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and ghee, I will also opt for palm oil rather than those other seed oil out there!
Here in Brazil (mainly the northern and southwest) we have access to environmentally friendly palm oil, but I live in the south where to buy it, it would have travel for hundreds of miles to get to me. So yeah, I will stick to my natural pasture fed milk cows butter, thank you.
The study also found that Oxidized LDL was 14% higher with butter than palm stearin for the LC/HF group. It's a 3 week study, and that would be comparing only 6 people eating butter with LC, but still...
The big difference here is price. I bought a small jar of the good quality deep red palm oil & it cost at least double the price of the same volume of Kerrygold or similar quality butter.
In your video and your implications, I perceived you are not in favour of palm oil because you believed “it’s not an environmental friendly” products. I do hope you do more research on this topic about “palm oil industries are not environmentally friendly” and let me know your finding. It’s good for you to come to Malaysia for a visit and personally experience how the palm oil plantations look like. Your own eye are better than the crooked reporting that the west did. Fyi, I do believes palm oil are purposely demonised to promote seeds oil. I assume you fully understand the biased and untruthful high cholesterol hypothesis and saturated oil - similarly, you should have a chance to understand the biased and untruthful hypothesis about palm oil plantations are not environmentally friendly. Thank you.
No it’s not true, almost all major grocery store are selling various international and local brand of Pure Butter. It’s just the price of butter are much higher than palm oil. But yet, we must compare apple to apple ie butter are food grade (as you can eat with it) and most palm cooking oil out there on the shelf are not food grade except you get a high quality red palm oil or palm kernel oil.
@razmi Ihsan I reckon you have not been to Malaysia or do not know much about it. Butter and ghee are easily accessible everywhere in the country! They are not as expensive as you thought, especially ghee. Malaysians do also use ghee in their cooking apart from Palm oil and coconut oil.
So normally the people use cold press natural palm oil or industrial palm oil ? So weired the western media attack palm oil and many nations usef it heavily
In Indonesia (probably in Malaysia and other Southeast Asia countries) palm oil is basicly the main oil for cooking, coconut oil is more rare and expensive, while butter (and even more grass-fed/finished) is somewhat a luxury item :) but here vegetable/seed oils (soy, corn, cotton, etc) are also pricey and harder to find in markets. So, in that perspective it's kinda better that we use mainly palm oil :D
"Do people really use palm oil?" As far as I know it's extremely common, especially in tropical Africa, Brazil and some parts of southern Asia. Butter isn't the cheapest option everywhere, in my area for example it's several times more expensive than canola oil.
I believe this study has emerged is because of the recent incident about The Hong Kong Consumer Council found that some Of Malaysia’s Favourite Biscuit Brands contained the genotoxic carcinogens glycidol or acrylamide or both, which are contaminants produced during processing and these cancer-causing contaminants often emerge when processing certain ingredients, such as palm oil, at high temperatures.
Palm oil is what has replaced the "trans" fats in the likes of Betty Crocker cake mixes, some peanut butter to prevent the peanut butter from separating, etc.
Great information, I'm always looking for alternatives to omega 6 veg oils which are highly inflammatory and yet mainstream advice is still telling us to consume it over Saturated fats.
Palm oil is very common in Asia and Africa, so YES people DO care about palm oil 😊 So, you are not ‘wasting time’ talking about it just because it’s not common here in the US.
As a food allergy parent, I can tell you that we have used a lot of palm oil over the years, so, yes, there are people use it and who will care about this content. Thanks for covering this!
Great discussion of funding nuance. Nice to see Virta doing what is necessary to get their research done. For the other side of this issue, we might consider the FDA's attempts to get NAC off the market, and whomever is behind all of the disinformation about Ivermectin (calling it, "horse medicine", for example, when it is saving lives in India and elsewhere right now). Clearly funding can be an issue.
Can you do a video on cacao butter? It has the highest stearic content, even more than beef tallow. Would this be good for human consumption in place of other cooking oils?
Add to that, LCHF diet takes time to get fat adaptive,,,, plus the first period it's natural that the LDL will go up for the first few months then it starts getting down.
so heres the short answer people who their palm oil is expansive in their country: butter is better and creamy! people with both oil is the same price: palm oil👌
Thanks! What's the detailed difference between a stearin, spelling?, and an oil? And, aren't there two or three different palm oils? Palm oil, palm kernel oil(not sure if these two are the same), and palm fruit oil? The problem with these studies is that the headline will read, "New Study Finds Palm Oil Is Better Than Butter.". That's all most people will get in their head. Then, the funders of the study will run with it to convince people the palm oil in their processed foods is better for you. Yet, this study is flawed, and not long enough.
Palm oil in general there are natural processed red palm oil (food grade) and processed decolorisation palm cooking oil. These are extraction from outer layer (or skin) of palm fruit. Palm Kernel Oil are extracted from palm seed/nut which in nature it’s transparent in color. Palm Kernel Oil are rich in Laurie Acid and mostly naturally extracted, so it’s good grade oil.
I imagine that the problem is not the oil because we know that saturated fats are not bad for your health, the problem is the extraction method that determines its quality. We must avoid refined oils that are bad for health. There are also the environmental implications. Personally, I use unrefined fats produced close to where I live.
I live in Indonesia where palm grows very fast, with less resources than other crops. But I'll go to the supermarket and get some environmentally friendly butter instead. Import. From France. 14,000 miles away. 👍😉
I dont use palm oil myself but I have noticed that a lot of products in the market says ingredients list as palm oil after rapeseed oil. I wonder is this good🤔 or should I also avoid this as other seed oils.
I don’t know if it’s true but I have heard that palm oil is easier for people to break down, who have had their gallbladders removed than other fats. I prefer butter but I would be interested in organic palm oil if it was better for my body since I do not have a gall bladder.
I don't have a gallbladder and don't see the difference. I prefer to use animal fats all the time. Butter, ghee, lard and duck fat for the most part. This is the stuff our European grandparents cooked with. The tropical people use coconut oil and ate mostly fish as far as I have learned but it's an expensive fat to cook with.
@@KenJackson_US in an ideal situation, no, they can't fund them because of conflict of interest. But since the studies on LCHF is not many, the HCLF have more influence within the gov and private sectors leading to difficulties in getting research funds, it's reasonable for those companies and agencies to fund research like this.
Don't those who fund HCLF diets also have conflicts of interest, @@razmiihsan8897? It's a shame we can't get governments to pay attention to conflicts and downgrade their dependence on studies by conflicted parties.
I read a study only last week that palm oil doesn't give you cancer but if you have cancer it, spreads that cancer all over your body. So we have removed everything containing palm oil from the house and I have had to search for alternative products for my husband who is lactose intolerant and it was in everything! So I will be sticking with my Kerrygold butter from lovely cows. Interesting article though, thank you.
Destroying oraguntan habitat - South East Asia has destroyed masses of forests - I saw it happening in 1998 !!! Logging going on everywhere. If only people realised what they are doing.

Agree.
Palm oil especially red palm oil has complete Vitamin E...
Well said. The palm industry has no choice but to defend itself due to the constant unfair attacks by the other food oil producers.
But isn't palm kernel oil better than palm oil?
@@KenJackson_US yes. Palm Kernel Oil as food grade fatty acid, it’s better option than palm oil.

Real palm oil is deep orange, and it's good for the human heart as long as you eat real, whole food with it, not processed crap and sugar
It's linked to cancer google it

Would be nice if you also put a link to that study/trial into the video description, so we can educate ourselves as well and cross-check.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I stick with my butter from grass-fed cows from the Black Forest in Germany cause I‘m Carnivore. The Black Forest is part of the state I live.
"Do people really use palm oil?" As far as I know it's extremely common, especially in tropical Africa, Brazil and some parts of southern Asia. Butter isn't the cheapest option everywhere, in my area for example it's several times more expensive than canola oil.
I use raw organic red palm oil as a source of tocotrienols. I don't cook with it, just consume a tbsp a day.
For fry, the only plant oil I am using is palm oil, the one that found in the supermarkets, please 🙏 inform us about palm 🌴 oil.
Interesting, but not relevant to me. I don’t eat palm oil. Kudos to Dr. Volek to find a way to squeeze LCHF into the study. 👍
