As with heart health, red palm oil may offer brain benefits. The vitamin E in red palm oil may be able to reduce or halt the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease due to lesions on the brain. This is because vitamin E protects the brain from free radicals, which can damage your neurons. Because red palm oil has so many uses, you should consult with your doctor before taking it or any other supplement. Consider the following before using palm oil in your cooking: Studies suggest that getting enough oil in your diet can help you absorb vitamin A and other fat-soluble vitamins more effectively. If you have cystic fibrosis or another condition that makes absorbing fat difficult, adding palm oil to your diet may significantly improve your levels of vitamin A. This vitamin is also critical to the health of your eyes, so palm oil may help reduce your risk of vision problems. Potential Risks of Red Palm Oil Tocotrienols present as part of Vitamin E in CAROTINO® are known to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Olive oil contains 72 percent monounsaturated fat, 14 percent saturated fat and 9 percent polyunsaturated fat. In recent years, coconut oil, which is around 90% saturated fat, has become the latest trendy “superfood”. It’s been hailed as a superfood (including that it's less likely to be stored in the body as fat and more likely to be expended as energy) – but one Harvard University epidemiologist calls it “pure poison”.

Consuming too much saturated fat – more than 20g for women and 30g for men per day, according to UK guidelines – makes the body produce cholesterol in our bodies that increases the risk of heart disease.

However, some research suggests these health benefits could be partly driven by other components in the diet, rather than olive oil. One review of evidence found that the only benefit of olive oil independent of the Mediterranean diet was its ability to raise levels of beneficial cholesterol HDL. However, consuming olive oil by following the Mediterranean diet was associated with improved glucose levels, which is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes if it is too high. It also reduced the level of triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and LDL cholesterol levels.

Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fatty acids. If your cholesterol is in the healthy range, consuming olive oil is fine. Since monounsaturated fatty acids are neutral, they won’t cause trouble with your cholesterol. However they also can’t get you out of trouble if your body is desperately needing more polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mediators of Inflammation: “Supplementation with red palm oil increases β-carotene and vitamin A blood levels in patients with cystic fibrosis.” The message isn’t to add lots of oil because we think it’s good for us, because that’s just adding lots of calories,” she says. Red palm oil is a great source of nutrients and antioxidants, but factors such as its saturated fat content can create complications for some people.

Researchers reviewed 30 studies where participants’ diets were altered to test the effects of olive oil, and found that the Mediterranean diet led to lower glucose levels and higher LDL compared to the Western diet. Intervening that diet with olive oil, where it had a high polyphenol content, further increased HDL.

C12s are like long chain fatty acids that got categorised into medium chain,” says Wallace. “About 70% of C12s act as long chain fatty acids, which are transported to the liver.” Longer chain fatty acids are more likely to be stored in the liver as fat and could, over time, cause health issues such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
