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. -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::: Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, Other days you're the bug. |

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 -- TL, Tim .. . . well, except for the "it's not bull****" part. ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

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. --riverman |

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. Wolfgang stupid computer. ![]() |

The news servers I'm using did not remember that old messages! Need some time to read the report from the beginning! OsmoJ |
