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

Wrong kind of "dangerous". It's a monstrous clog on the arteries.
In its native form, I believe, it's got quite a bit of saturated
fat, and it frequently shows up in food products in a hydrogenated
form, which is the worst stuff out there. So, it's not bull****,
but nevertheless a really bizarre non sequitur.

While it's true that palm oil is high in saturated fat, so are pork
chops and prime rib. I wouldn't eat a diet very rich in palm oil, but I
don't consider it "dangerous." It's very stable and has a pleasant
flavor. If I recall correctly, it's supposed to be especially good for
baking.

It is amazing to me that someone I've never seen post on roff before can sum up
its essence in one short sentence. golf clap

Hi Mary: I think I'm finding that the culprit is Palm Kernal Oil, which is
86% saturated fats and contributes to LDLs, whereas Palm Oil (or Palm Nut
Oil) is 50% saturated fats, and does not raise LDLs, and some resources
claim that it even is beneficial to the HDL/LDL ratio. I think what they use
here for consumption in raw form is Palm Nut Oil, but I could easily be
wrong on this (and will post the appropriate apology to BJ for challenging
his useful and thoughtful statement.

In fact, I'll just do that now. Sorry, BJ; calling your claim bull**** was
pretty insensitive and brash on my part. Looks like theres a lot more to it
than meets the eye, so thanks for the heads-up. I was WAY too quick on the
draw.

I'd love to know where Colgate got ITS name. Coal tar, perchance?

Hmph! Stupid computer. The "T" at the end of Palmolive was supposed
to be the itty bitty superposed TM trademark symbol and that's the way
it showed upon on my screen when I typed it.

Myron,

This is part V but the first part I've seen! Somehow I have missed the

Thanks Herman! But I was already yesterday evening browsing the history of
roff with google and found all the parts! The news servers I'm using did
not
remember that old messages!

Need some time to read the report from the beginning!
