Palmuöljytön nuudeli?

Palmuöljy on terveellistä vain prosessoimattomana. Elintarvikkeissa käytetty palmuöljy on lähestulkoon poikkeuksetta hapetettua, ja siten hyvin vaarallista.

With all of this talk about the ethics of palm oil, a person might wonder whether eating it is healthy in the first place. The oil itself is derived from the fruits of the oil palm. It is consumed in both oxidized and fresh forms. As a fresh food, it contains health benefits, such as the reduction of blood pressure and the risk of arterial thrombosis. Unfortunately, much of the commonly used palm oil is in an oxidized — that is to say, processed — form. Once the oil is oxidized, it poses health dangers on the psychological and biochemical levels, such as reproductive toxicity and organ toxicity, impacting organs such as the kidneys and lungs.
