Pros

Red Palm Oil contains high amounts of

Carotenoids

Sterols

Vitamin E

However only natural and cold pressed unrefined red palm oil contains these compounds in high amounts. It just so happens that natural and cold pressed unrefined red palm oil can be pricey.

Alzheimers

Arterial thrombosis

Atherosclerosis

These are all diseases that red palm oil can prevent.  However the sole problem is that palm oil is generally found in many forms that do not contain the required compounds that fight cancer and other harmful diseases.

Red palm oil is generally hydrogenated for the use in making food on a commercial level. it increases the shelf life but makes it toxic for humans. But we are still using it. It causes toxicity of the kidney, lung, liver, and heart.

Conclusion

In my view I think that palm oil has some great benefits, but the palm oil that is consumed vastly does not have the same amount of benefits as unhydrogenated, natural and cold pressed unrefined red palm oil.
