Endocrinologist Natalia Tananakina reported on the negative health effects of palm oil consumption.
Endocrinologist Tananakina drew attention to the fact that palm oil contains a lot of saturated fatty acids. In particular, it contains a large amount of palmitic acid, which in turn can lead to an increase in cholesterol levels. If palm oil is consumed on a regular basis in the diet, it can seriously harm the health of the cardiovascular system.
