hey guys I wanted to do a video on some

of the differences between palm oil and

coconut oil there’s been a lot of

attention on coconut not a lot on palm

oil now palm oil has gotten a bad rap

because what’s happening in the

environment so you want to make sure you

get something that’s eco-friendly

sustainable but this talk is not

necessarily on that piece of the puzzle

it’s mainly on the health benefits of

palm oil in fact there’s no other crop

that can yield as much oil per acre as

palm and it absorbs fewer pesticides and

chemical fertilizer then coconut oil and

corn oil and soy oil so it does have its

advantages now the majority of saturated

fat in palm oil is called palmitic it’s

44% okay and palmitic acid also has

gotten a bad rap from some of the

studies so mainly these studies if not

all the studies are done on refined

isolated plum attic acid which does not

come in nature very very few if any of

the studies were done on actual palm oil

itself now I do want to put three links

down below of some pretty hardcore

credible studies that show that

saturated fats are not dangerous

especially the compared to unsaturated

fats so I’ll put those down below and

you can check them out now palmitic acid

can be used for energy by the body

coconut oil is nine times lower palmitic

acid but it’s very high in lauric acid

which then turns into mono lauren which

is really good for the immune system

it’s antiviral antimicrobial now there

are many other types of fatty acids and

coconuts that actually have additional

health benefits and a good portion of

coconut oil is medium chain fatty acids

which are really good to increase energy

and also help you make ketones now

what’s interesting about palm oil is

that it’s very very high in vitamin E

okay now vitamin E in nature always

comes in a complex and the other half of

the vitamin E complex are composed of

compounds called tocotrienols and I

recently purchased this book called

tocotrienols vitamin e beyond taka Falls

it’s a mouthful

but this book shows you all the amazing

research of the vitamin E complex it

says right here vitamin E is a

collective name for a family of fat

soluble compounds so it has a lot of

different things in it tocotrienols move

more freely and more efficiently within

the cell membranes then due to corals

especially in tissues with saturated

fatty layers such as the brain and the

liver now typically when people get

vitamin E from the health food store

they don’t realize they’re getting a

synthetic version of vitamin E and only

one little tiny fraction of the vitamin

E complex tocopheryl

okay they’re not getting the whole

complex so I’m just gonna summarize

what’s in this book right here because

the benefits of taking vitamin E and the

whole complex are huge anti-cancer anti

tumor neuroprotective it counters

radiation damage that’s incredible

actually there’s benefits of regrowing

your hair and that’s why I’m going to be

putting this ingredient in my hair

formula as well very soon I mean by the

mini is one of the main antioxidants

that protects the inside of your

arteries from oxidative damage so it’s

quite incredible

so palm oil has one of the highest

sources of the vitamin E complex and

palm oil also has vitamin A now it’s

true that it is a pre vitamin A it’s a

beta carotene in alpha carotene but some

of that does convert into retinol which

is the active form certain cultures in

Africa for example that have a high risk

of going blind are consuming palm oil in

getting improvement with eyesight

because one cause of blindness is a

vitamin A deficiency and it also has

quite a few final nutrients one called

the phytosterols which are the

precursors to steroid hormones okay so

like cortisol for example as a steroid

hormone to help fight stress here’s a

really good source of palm oil right

here red palm oil loaded with vitamin A

and vitamin E okay you can check it out

right here this is what it looks like

right here looks pretty healthy now I

know some of you are gonna ask in the

comments section how much vitamin E in

vitamin A is in coconut oil and the

answer is close to zero okay I think

there’s like point zero zero one percent

there’s not much at all so coconut oil

has its benefits but palm oil has some

additional benefits that I wanted to

increase your awareness of but just make

sure that if you’re going to buy some

make sure it’s sustainable eco-friendly
