Nina,

I haven’t thoroughly evaluated red palm oil yet. I do know it’s a rich source of select antioxidants such as carotenoids and tocotrienols.

A preliminary review looks somewhat promising with regard to cardiovascular health – in an animal model anyhow and perhaps in humans as well. I’ll keep an eye out for more research!

My multivitamin/mineral supplement contains palm tocotrienols. But isolated tocotrienols and whole red palm oil aren’t necessarily identical.

Be well!

I use VCO for three years now and i love it for baking and cooking. Love also coconut flower for baking or as a cereal.

I read that red palm oil also should be very healthy (on the noble-house.tk site, its an organic manufacturer and dealer), what do you think about that JP?

Greetings from me

I sure think it is. I use some form of coconut almost every day.

Be well!
