Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 , I use Palm Oil when deep frying something I don't want the coconut flavor in. Bruce Fife's books put Palm Oil in second place against Coconut Oil for Caprylic acid levels. With that said I can tell you it is different enough that my body doesn't process it as easily. I had gastric bypass three years ago. VCO _NEVER-EVER_ gives me a moment of pause. But Palm Oil can and sometimes does cause me gastic upset. I eat very small quanities, but use it freely with my family. Hope this helps. > > Hi all, > > I have read that Caprylic acid is also found in Palm oil as well as > Coconut oil.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hello Dr. Fife: I had ordered 33 lb. of Palm Oil because of the IMPACT Coconut Oil has on it and we can only use small amounts. I was relieved to see that you have a book out now about Palm Oil and was just going to order myself a copy when I noticed the word TOCOTRIENOLS and thought you must be referring to the RED Palm Oil. I have the white one, so this is not the same thing, right? Thanks, Bonnie Palm oil Hi All, I haven't posted for awhile because I do a lot of traveling and don't always keep up on the forum conversation, although I do try to read it whenever I can. I wanted to let everyone know I have a new book out. It was just published this month. It's titled " The Palm Oil Miracle. " I chose this title to match my book " The Coconut Oil Miracle.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Bonnie, Both red and white (RBD) palm oils contain tocotrienols. RBD has had about 25% of them removed during processing, but it still is the best source for them next to red palm oil. Tocotrienols, for those who don’t know, are a special super potent form of vitamin E.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 The best way to use coconut oil for weight loss is not to simply add it into your diet, but replace other oils with it. Processed polyunsaturated cooking oils and hydrogenated oils should be eliminated completely from your diet. You can experience weight loss with combining coconut oil with various diets but it works very well with a low carb diet. One of the benefits of coconut oil is that it has a satisfying affect on hunger so that you can eat less when coconut oil is added with foods and still feel satisfied and not get hungry between meals, or at least not as much. My book “Eat Fat, Look Thin” explains this in detail. Using this system, some people seem to lose weight without even trying, while others require more conscious effort to limit how much they eat.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thank you for that. I was never sure about this White Palm Oil and I have never actually found any information on it, while surfing. There's just no information out there about it. So you're saying that the White one is missing about 25% of the Tocotrienols? Where can I find a break-down on this White Palm Oil, if you know? I wanted to buy the book, but didn't think the information in it, would pertain to the Oil I have. In fact your book Coconut Cures (page 31) shows that the PLAIN Palm Oil NOT to be as nutritionally endowed as the Red Palm Kernel Oil. So this book will not really help me.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi Mr. Fife, I have a question for you. I have read your book on " The Coconut oil Miracle " and the Coconut oil has helped me in everyway except losing wt, but I feel so much better on it I plan to stay with it. Now my question is wouldn't you have to chose which oil you take, either Palm or Coconut ? How could you do both and not gain? Does the Palm help with metobolism and thyroid and energy and wt. loss.? Thank you and I will ck. out your book.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Pat, Coconut oil does many things to improve health. Palm oil also offers many health benefits which are different from coconut oil. I recommend using both. However, palm oil does not have the metabolic stimulating effect that coconut oil has. If your main goal is weight loss, coconut oil is better. Palm oil contains nutrients that coconut oil has little or none of. Palm oil is the richest dietary source of vitamin E, beta-carotene, and tocotrienols and also contains alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene, and 20 or so other carotenes, plus CoQ10, squalene, and other nutrients.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I have an odd question for you Bruce. Back when I was diagnosed diabetic back in 2001, I was told to stop taking beta carotene supplements because beta carotene would give false high readings when I used my glucometer. I would assume that given my diabetes that avoiding palm oil might be a good idea. But I thought I should ask your opinion.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Alobar, I have not heard of diabetics being cautioned about beta-carotene. I did a quick google search to learn more and couldn’t find any reason why diabetics shouldn’t consume beta-carotene. However, I did find reports like the one below titled “Diabetes linked to beta-carotene deficiency” which indicates that maybe diabetics should be taking it or at least eating foods with it. Palm oil appears to be very good for diabetics because it improves circulation. As you know, poor circulation is a major problem with diabetes. Palm oil also helps prevent heart disease. http://www.yourhealthbase.com/database/a87m.htm Re: Palm oil I have an odd question for you Bruce.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I am wondering if anyone knows where most of the palm oil is coming from? ... the link below highlights the destruction of the Orangutans environment due to palm oil plantations and I'd hate to think I would be contributing to it if I buy this ... thanks, susie Palm oil comes from Malaysia, Indonesia, South America, and Africa. Don't believe the hype about the orangutans being endangered by palm plantations. Most of what is being said is simply not true. Organizations like CSPI are promoting this idea because they are very anti-saturated fat. They have been fighting coconut and palm oils for decades. In fact, it is primarily because of CSPI that coconut and palm oil received a bad reputation in the 1980s and 1990s. It is also due to CSPI that good saturated fats were removed from our foods and replaced with hydrogenated vegetable oils-a true artery clogging monster. CSPI is fighting to prevent the switch from hydrogenated oils to coconut and palm oils. Recently, they have renewed their attack against palm oil. However, there is ample scientific evidence now (that wasn't available in the 1980s and early 1990s) that clearly demonstrates that palm oil does NOT promote heart disease but in fact, protects against it. Since CSPI cannot argue against palm oil based on scientific evidence they are now trying to wage a public relations campaign against the palm oil producers in an effort to make them appear environmentally irresponsible. The information they are giving out is full of lies and half truths. Palm oil is the MOST environmentally friendly oil crop in the world. For example, soybean growers produce 48 gallons of oil from every acre of land. In comparison, palm oil producers produce 635 gallons of oil on the same amount of land. Soybeans need 13 acres to produce the same amount of oil that palm produces on 1 acre. Also, the soybean crops must be sprayed heavily with pesticides that contaminate the environment. Some of the new genetically modified soybeans are highly resistant to pesticides so farmers can douse them with even higher amounts to kill insects that are becoming resistant to the poisons. Soybean fields are fenced off preventing the natural migration of wildlife further disrupting the ecology. Soybeans must be plowed under and replanted every single year, so there is constant disruption occurring in the soil and on the land so that no wildlife or other plants can exist on a soybean field. In contrast, palm trees only need to be plated once and then they will continue to produce for over a quarter of a century without any further disturbance to the ground or environment. Wildlife is free to roam and live among the palms. Other plants grow between the palms without being disturbed. Pesticides are not needed or used. A mature palm plantation looks much like a rain forest, full of trees, scrubs, grass, and wildlife-including large animals like wild boar and tigers. It is obvious who is the most environmentally responsible, but the anti-saturated fat folks are grasping for anything they can (even making things up) to fight the replacement of hydrogenated vegetable oils with palm and other saturated fats. This is why my book " The Palm Oil Miracle " is so very important. It gives the FACTS about palm oil and dispels these myths and lies. You will no doubt hear more about how palm oil is destroying the environment, causing heart disease, etc., etc. in the months and years ahead. I encourage everyone who wants to know the truth about palm oil to read my book. I'm sorry this message has become so long, but there is a lot that can be said on this subject and this is becoming a HOT topic right now. Just a few months ago CSPI took out full page ads in the " New York Times " to denounce palm oil and linked it to destroying the environment. This issue is going to come up again and again. People are becoming confused and misled. If you want to learn more, check out my book at www.piccadillybooks.com <http://www.piccadillybooks.com/> .

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 If I take beta-carotene capsules daily, my blood sugars jump up. My doc told me to switch to vitamin A. Blood sugar readings then dropped. Same thing for Niacin. I can take Niacinamide with no problem, but niacin jumps up blood glucometer readings. I was never able to ascertain if beta carotene really increases blood sugars, or if it gives a false reading on the test strips.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi !

Please put forward. I finished the books in Korean version. Just answer or response to the agent asap. rote: Hi All, I haven't posted for awhile because I do a lot of traveling and don't always keep up on the forum conversation, although I do try to read it whenever I can. I wanted to let everyone know I have a new book out. It was just published this month. It's titled " The Palm Oil Miracle. " I chose this title to match my book " The Coconut Oil Miracle. " Palm oil, like coconut oil, is a miracle food. However, palm and coconut oils are very different and have different health benefits. The benefits of coconut come primarily from the medium chain fatty acids. Palm oil has essentially no medium chain fatty acids, but it has other things that coconut oil doesn't have.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Soybean, corn, canola, and safflower oil production cause far more damage to the environment and to wildlife than palm oil ever has. In producing these crops the environment is doused with tons of pesticides. Generically engineered soy, corn, and canola are commonplace in our foods and the foods fed to the animals we eat. These altered plants escape into the environment causing unknown harm. Despite the danger and destruction these polyunsaturated oil crops cause you don’t hear anyone campaigning to ban them or to boycott them. Why? I’ll tell you why. Because the opposition to palm and coconut oil is sponsored by big business who produce competing oils. These companies are experts in molding customer opinion and essentially brainwashing people. They are using environmental and consumer groups (such as CSPI) to spread false information. They themselves can’t go after the palm oil industry because that would be too obvious, so they feed lies and encourage other groups to be the ones who stand in the limelight in the attack against their competitors. That way they appear to be innocent bystanders, that just happen to reap in the profits as a result. Don’t be fooled by the orangutan issue, it is all a ploy by big business to capture the vegetable oils market. Bruce Don't use PALM OIL It seems they are destroying monkey habitat to collect palm oil. There's nothing wrong with the oil.. it's just tearing up too much jungle to get it.
