- xeromal 2y agoThanks for the info! I assume the kernel is just the seed inside?

- ricardobeat 2y agoI’ve never seen palm kernel oil listed as a food ingredient. It seems to be most commonly used in cosmetics. This is a mix up on why certain oils are on the current “oils to avoid” list. Palm oil gets a bad reputation mainly because of environmental issues with how it's grown, not because it's unhealthy. But all these concerns get lumped together in the “bad oils” list.
