Go to Trader Joe's and look at the ingredients, everything has Palm Oil as an ingredient.
This is important, and having a diet that suits your oxidative stress profile is important. And I do not care what anyone tells me, these oils are not something the body can handle well and are probably healthy only at low levels.
- imtringued 5y agoI don't know anything about palamitic acid but I know that carbs are the stronger driver of heart disease in our diet. Apparently everything causes cancer and heart disease and it's the 19th century people that magically avoided heart disease.
- podgaj 5y agoBoth carbs and fats will cause mitochondria disfunction at high doses and lead to disease. There are just some of them that do it faster than others as well. In the 19th century common folk did not have access to the large amount of calories as we do today. Plus there was much lower air pollution, pesticides, etc. To compare someone's health outcomes in the 19th century to someone living today is impossible. So all we can focus on is the now. And today we have an awful lot more people with metabolic disorders walking around.
