The Advantages of Palm Oil

A dietary staple for more than 5,000 years, palm oil is made from the West African
Elaeis Guineensis tree, also called the "oil palm." Palm oil is a staple included in many products:shortening, margarine, soap and chemicals, among other things. Palm oil has a number of nutritional benefits and when consumed in moderation can improve a handful of common health conditions.パーム油とパームカーネルオイルの違いに注意することが重要です。パームオイルは一般に、農地型脂肪が多く、ココナッツオイルに組成が近いパームカーネルオイルよりもはるかに健康です。

1. 健康上の利点

   • アメリカのパーム油評議会によると、Elaeis Guineensisの木からの果物の肉質部分に由来する純粋なパーム油の利点はたくさんあります。 It provides a source of dietary energy, is easily digested and is an essential fatty acid.コレステロールを含まず、ビタミンAの前駆体であるカロテノイドが豊富で、フリーラジカルから保護できる天然の抗酸化物質であるビタミンEも豊富です。

   脂肪酸

   • One of the biggest benefits of palm oil is that it does not have to be "hydrogenated" to be used as a binding fat. Hydrogenated oil means that the oil has been hardened by chemicals to become solid. This is the process that creates "trans fatty acids," according to the APOC. These trans-fats can be bad for the heart and other organs. The body will naturally absorb the fatty acids in palm oil. Palm oil naturally exists in a semi-solid state, so it's a healthier option. Many products now use palm oil in place of hydrogenated oils; consumers can find this information on product labels.

   Cooking Benefits

   • Palm oil is used commonly in cooking around the world. It's readily available, inexpensive and neutral in flavor, making it good to use in most types of cooking.パーム油には有害なトランスファットが含まれていないため、ペストリー、クッキー、クラッカーなどのAPOCによると、「硬いまたは固体」脂肪を必要とする料理では特に優れています。 It's also tasteless, so it's good to use as a base oil for sauteing or frying food.パーム油で準備された食物を食べる人はそれから利益を得るかもしれません：American Journal of Clinical Nutritionによって発行された動物研究は、オイルが頸動脈閉塞を減らし、心臓病のリスクを減らすことができることを示しています。 Palm oil also helps with cholesterol:It increases the HDL, or "good" cholesterol.
