4.  Palm Oil.

As the name implies, palm oil comes from the fruit of oil palms. This oil is mostly saturated and monosaturated fats, along with small amounts of polyunsaturates, which makes this oil a pretty good choice for cooking.

The unrefined type of palm oil is called Red Palm oil, and this is, naturally, the best type. Red Palm oil is rich in coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, and many other nutrients.

The only problem with this type of oil is that there have been many concerns raised lately regarding the sustainability of palm oil. Growing these types of palm trees means less natural environment for Orangutans, which are an endangered species.

Do some research and let you conscience be your guide when it comes to this oil.

      Yet another person brainwashed into thinking all animal fat in any amount is bad. And then backing up their attack by saying something totally irrelevant.

    Great list! Read another site’s list touting canola oil as healthy so I knew that list was bunk, but this one I mostly agree with.
