Palm oil contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are known to be beneficial to health. It also contains saturated fat, which has been linked to cardiovascular problems .

If so, why? Please justify your answer.

No. Palm oil intake leads in greater LDL cholesterol than low-saturated-fat vegetable oils and higher HDL cholesterol than trans-fat–containing oils. Palm oil may increase certain heart disease risk factors. Repeatedly reheating the oil may decrease its antioxidant capacity and contribute to the development of heart disease. ]]> 2021-11-08 02:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nordini/gngt437ipo04b88s/wish/1873837321 Isnairrah Najiah Bt Ibrahim F19B0247 https://padlet.com/nordini/gngt437ipo04b88s/wish/1873838949 Is palm oil healthier than other vegetable oils? If so, why? Please justify your answer.

No. Palm oil is not healthy compared to other vegetable oil, this is because palm oil have high saturated fat content which can be harmful to our health like heart disease. But if we consumed as part of a balanced diet it won’t effect our health.

For the comparison of palm oil vs. vegetable oils low in saturated fat. Palm oil significantly increased total, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations compared with vegetable oils low in saturated fat.

If so, why?

Yes, palm oil healthier than other vegetable oils due to palm oil can lower the cholesterol, free from trans fat, can be used for weight loss and increasing the body's metabolism. Palm oil contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are good for health and palm oil also contains saturated fats, which are often associated with cardiovascular -related problems. However, research has proven that palm oil does not pose any additional risk of leading to cardiovascular disease when consumed because it is considered part of a balanced diet. In addition, palm oil is also free of cholesterol and waxy substances that are at risk for heart disease. In fact there is strong evidence to suggest that a diet containing palm oil can actually minimize cholesterol levels in an individual. In a 2015 clinical trial published in the journal Food and Function, it was stated that the use of both palm oil and olive oil was effective in reducing cholesterol levels by 15 percent. Palm oil is also free of trans fats, which are generally known to be unhealthy for an individual’s body. Vegetable oils such as soybean and sunflower are liquid at room temperature and need to go through an industrial process known as hydrogenation to convert them to semi -solids where producing trans fats are known to be associated with cardiovascular disease while palm oil is naturally semi -solid at room temperature and no need to be hydrogenated. Therefore, it does not contain trans fats. This is evidenced when there is a journal called The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition which says that replacing trans fats with palm oil can reduce heart disease risk markers and improve blood lipids.

The effects of palm oil on blood lipids are as expected given its high saturated fat content, which promotes the use of vegetable oils low in saturated and trans fat to substitute palm oil.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) aids in the removal of excess cholesterol from the body, making it less likely for it to clog your arteries. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is known as "bad cholesterol" because it transports cholesterol to your arteries, where it can build up in the walls of the arteries.

When compared to most other vegetable oils, palm oil contains a high amount of saturated fat; however, studies have found inconsistent effects of palm oil on blood lipids. When compared to vegetable oils low in saturated fat, it significantly increased LDL cholesterol by 0.24 mmol/L (95 percent CI: 0.13, 0.35 mmol/L; I2 = 83.2 percent). This effect was found in randomised trials (0.31 mmol/L; 95% CI: 0.20, 0.42 mmol/L) but not in nonrandomized trials (0.03 mmol/L; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.20 mmol/L; P-difference = 0.02). After controlling for the test oil dose and comparison oil type, only minor heterogeneity in study results remained (I2 = 27.5 percent) in randomised trials. Palm oil increased HDL cholesterol by 0.02 mmol/L (95 percent CI: 0.01, 0.04 mmol/L; I2 = 49.8 percent) compared to low saturated fat vegetable oils and by 0.09 mmol/L (95 percent CI: 0.06, 0.11 mmol/L; I2 = 47.8 percent) compared to trans-fat-containing oil. Palm oil consumption raises LDL cholesterol, and its effects on blood lipids are as expected given its high saturated fat content but depend on the individual body system.

Palm oil has higher contents of saturated fat compared to other liquid oils, for example olive oil contains less than half of saturated fat in palm oil. The high saturated content in palm oil can increases cholesterol levels and this leads to harmful disease like cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis and obesity. In addition to that, oxidized palm oil can also increase health risks, in which the oxidization occurs during the process of culinary use, generating toxins that adversely affect the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys.

It depends. Palm oil does contain saturated fatty acids which is considered unhealthy compared to some vegetable oils such as olive oil and sunflower oil. Presence of saturated fatty acids raises the unwanted Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level. Despite that, study shows that if consuming palm oil as a part of balanced diet, it will not cause much health risk.

On the other hand, palm oil also contains unsaturated fatty acids which is beneficial to health. Besides, palm oil is free from cholesterol and trans fat that could cause cardiovascular diseases. It is free from trans fat due to its chemical and physical properties that prevent it from undergoing industrial hydrogenation process which creates trans fat.
