Palm oil is very bad for your health, and it's very bad for the environment.
- NoGravitas 10y agoReal peanut butter only has peanut oil.
- briHass 10y agoWhy is palm oil bad for your health? I always considered it to be one of the better plant-oils, with a low polyunsaturated fat composition similar to coconut, though really actually closer to butter (50% saturated, 40% mono, 10% poly.) Not saying anything about its environmental impact, which I haven't researched, however. http://chartsbin.com/view/1961 http://chartsbin.com/view/1961
- miguelrochefort 10y agoPalm oil is one of the healthiest oils. Peanut oil is one of the worst oils (arachidonic acid). You're correct about palm oil production hurting the environment.

- throwaway2048 10y agoThe problem with palm oil isnt the raw liquid form, the problem is palm oil is very cheap and is typically a target for (partial) hydrogenation into stuff like margarine. This produces a lot of trans fats unless carefully controlled and those are super unhealthy.
