Agronomist Elizaveta Tikhonova called the beneficial properties of palm oil in an interview with Sputnik radio.
According to her, this product eliminates the lack of body fat. The expert noted that when choosing between butter and palm oil, it is better for an adult to trust the latter.
“Nobody has died of palm oil yet, nobody has got sick. Everything that is vegetable is better absorbed by the body, and it is not deposited anywhere. Palm oil is better absorbed, it will give energy faster, it does not clog the vessels with cholesterol, ”Tikhonova said.
In August, it was reported that in the first half of 2020, Russia began to abandon palm oil, reducing its imports by seven percent compared to the same period in 2019. In total, over the past 20 years, the volume of imports of palm oil has increased more than 10 times. At the end of 2019, they amounted to 1.06 million tons. Its demand is due to its ease of use and low cost compared to most vegetable and milk fats. Indonesia is the main supplier.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the consumption of palm oil can lead to obesity and the development of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases.
