Palm oil is really dangerous, It's not allowed in many countrys
now, Australian for one.

Wow, I'd like to know more about that. Too bad, palm oil is quite
tasty.


I would like to see a reference for that too. My bull**** meter got
up to 75% on that one and I got curious. All I can find is one
environmental action group recommending a boycott of palm oil products
that are produced in areas where the orangutan still lives (because
people are clearing forests to plant oil palms), a few articles on
import bans (to shore up local production), some articles on
developing plantations (in Australia), and a reclassification of 'raw
palm oil' in India due to an import tax loophole. Nothing about
dangers in consumption but a lot of signs of a huge industry (who
knew!).




I've always heard that oiling up your palm can lead to blindness
