Palm oil, a common cooking oil, does not have medicinal properties or effects on its own, but is able to provide the body with nutrients such as saturated fatty acids. Palm oil is a tropical plant fat that contains 50% saturated fatty acids, 40% monounsaturated fatty acids and 10% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The human body digests and absorbs palm oil at a very high rate of 97%. However, palm oil, as an edible oil, does not have any special benefits or effects. Like the vast majority of other vegetable oils, palm oil does not contain any cholesterol. However, due to its relatively high saturated fat, palm oil is not recommended to be consumed in large quantities over a long period of time, especially not as a single daily cooking oil. It is recommended to consume it with other fats and oils containing unsaturated fatty acids, such as corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, etc., to increase the richness and diversity of fats and oils, which is more beneficial to human health.
