Italian scientist gives thumbs up to Malaysian palm oil for boosting a healthy heart

[superadmin]

FOR many years, saturated fats have been cast in a negative light with strong associations drawn between their consumption and cardiovascular disease.

This has led to a widespread belief that all saturated fats, including those found in  palm oil, should be avoided to protect heart health.

However, with greater research and understanding in this space, we now know that dietary fats, including palm  oil, are not inherently unhealthy. In fact, palm oil could even offer some surprising benefits for heart health.

As a scientist dedicated to studying the complex interactions between diet and cardiovascular health, I have encountered many misconceptions about palm oil.

It is true that palm oil contains saturated fat but it is crucial to understand that not all saturated fats are created equal.
