About this deal

While Carotino Red Palm & Canola Oil is trending among both healthy choosers and gourmet cooks, there is still some confusion about where and when to use this healthy oil versus olive oil. Factors that you should take into consideration include your current cholesterol level and the temperature of the dish you plan to prepare.

Carotenes (Beta & Alpha) provide pro-vitamin A activity and are converted in the body to suit the body's requirements, unlike synthetically produced Vitamin A, which could be toxic, if taken in excess. Red palm oil is a great source of nutrients and antioxidants, but factors such as its saturated fat content can create complications for some people. While the vitamin E in red palm oil may improve heart health, other aspects of the oil can lead to heart problems. Compared with other liquid vegetable oils, red palm oil is worse at lowering cholesterol, and may even raise “bad” LDL cholesterol levels. One study found that palm oil increased cholesterol in healthy individuals compared with olive oil, for example. Red palm oil is less refined than bleached palm oil. The refinement process involved in producing red palm oil removes fewer nutrients, which makes red palm oil a potentially healthier alternative to standard palm oil.

Recent studies have shown that extra virgin olive oil is safe to use for cooking. Researchers carried out a number of experiments monitoring extra virgin olive oil as it cooked at 120C (248F) and (338F) on a pan for different lengths of time. They found that temperature, but not time, had some effect on the polyphenol content in the oil. C12s are like long chain fatty acids that got categorised into medium chain,” says Wallace. “About 70% of C12s act as long chain fatty acids, which are transported to the liver.” Longer chain fatty acids are more likely to be stored in the liver as fat and could, over time, cause health issues such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

All fat molecules are made of chains of fatty acids, which are either held together with single bonds (saturated) or double bonds (unsaturated). There are three types of fatty acids: short, medium and long chain. Short and medium chain fatty acids are absorbed directly into the bloodstream and used for energy, but long chain fatty acids are transported to the liver, which raises blood cholesterol levels.

Mediators of Inflammation: “Supplementation with red palm oil increases β-carotene and vitamin A blood levels in patients with cystic fibrosis.” But Taylor Wallace, an adjunct professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at George Mason University in Virginia, argues lauric acid is not as healthy as some claims suggest. It is categorised as a C12 fatty acid, meaning it has 12 carbon atoms, and that puts it at the limit of the definition of a medium chain fatty acid. Whenever a food becomes as universal as palm oil, it’s important to consider its effects on health. Science has taken to researching this oil to identify the health benefits it provides as well as its potential risks. Nutrition Information In the right circumstances, red palm oil may offer significant benefits to heart health. The antioxidant effects of the vitamin E and carotenoids in red palm oil appear to help prevent atherosclerosis or the narrowing of blood vessels. More studies need to be done to confirm this effect, but current research is promising. However, consuming olive oil by following the Mediterranean diet was associated with improved glucose levels, which is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes if it is too high. It also reduced the level of triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and LDL cholesterol levels.

Olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fatty acids. If your cholesterol is in the healthy range, consuming olive oil is fine. Since monounsaturated fatty acids are neutral, they won’t cause trouble with your cholesterol. However they also can’t get you out of trouble if your body is desperately needing more polyunsaturated fatty acids.As with heart health, red palm oil may offer brain benefits. The vitamin E in red palm oil may be able to reduce or halt the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease due to lesions on the brain. This is because vitamin E protects the brain from free radicals, which can damage your neurons. Carotenes and Vitamin E in CAROTINO® act as scavengers of damaging free-radicals and play a protective role in ageing, atherosclerosis and cancer. Consuming too much saturated fat – more than 20g for women and 30g for men per day, according to UK guidelines – makes the body produce cholesterol in our bodies that increases the risk of heart disease. Oils used for cooking tend to get their name from the nut, seeds, fruits, plants or cereals they’re extracted from, either by methods of crushing, pressing, or processing. They’re characterised by their high fat content, including saturated fat, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
