Yikes! Somebody's hawking *palm oil* as a healthy alternative to (fill in the blank)?
It's among the most heavily saturated fats available, known in food industry parlance as "vegetable lard". Here's a quote from the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_oil "The World Health Organization (WHO) states there is convincing evidence that palmitic oil consumption contributes to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.[69] Research in the US and Europe support the WHO report.[70]" Palm oil would be great for plugging those arterial holes of Robin's, though; it's not one of those wimpy "runny" oils like canola or safflower. And if you hydrogenate it to make it even harder, you can probably use it to drive nails afterwards.
