Palm Oil Has a Reputation for Being Bad for You — Here's What Nutritionists Really Think
Palm oil appears to have some health benefits. Some studies have shown that palm oil can help reduce the risk factors for heart disease and aid in brain functioning, says nutritionist Maggie Michalczyk.
Palm oil is high in tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E that act like antioxidants. Some research suggests that tocotrienols can slow the progression of dementia and lower stroke risk, she adds.
Still, palm oil isn't the healthiest oil you can use for cooking. And the jury is still out as to the other suggested health benefits. "The oil is about half good \(unsaturated\) and half bad \(saturated\) fats, but it’s in so many varying foods that it’s difficult for researchers to determine if it’s good or bad for you,” says Rizzo.
Some studies even show negative side effects. “There are studies that disprove the studies that show palm oil has benefits for heart disease,” says Michalczyk.
