Palm oil itself is a very healthy, wonderful fat.
I have to disagree.

From here:

Palm oil is high in saturated fat and low in polyunsaturated fat. Biomedical research indicates that the consumption of palm oil increases the risk of heart disease.
(sorry to not see this sooner, I'm on the getting rid of palm oil bandwagon!)

Palm oil and its derivatives are in a huge amount of food products plus health and beauty products. It is really tough looking for things without it. Even the sustainable certification is apparently not all its cracked up to be.

There's a good Facebook page with lots of info about it... Search on my profile you should find it.
