The CSPI folks must be zonkers! The palm oil, the red palm oil in particular, on the other hand, has many health benefits. It is considered one of the healthiest oils.
In fact I learnt from this site www.palmoiltruthfoundation.com that a daily dose of palm oil might lower the risk of stroke.
The red oil from the African palm contains high levels of antioxidants, especially vitamin E. Antioxidants are thought to protect the body from cell damage.
I tried it for 3 months and my doctor was so shocked by my now normalized blood pressure that he told me: "whatever you are doing, just keep doing it!
Another useful site that offers a contrarian view to all the scaremongering on palm oil by the likes of CSPI is www.deforestationwatch.org. All health concious people deserves to learn the truth and not be deprived of an extremely healthy oil!

Here's a New York Times article about a recent controversy involving palm oil. It appears the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is against palm oil due to the saturated fat content. From what I recall, this Center is some joke organization that I think may even be against meat in general. They just seem to be plowing ahead with the ineffective low-fat message that hasn't worked the last 30-plus years. Someone even got mad enough to put up this website, CSPI Scam, that shows all the inconsistencies and problems with the CSPI.
At any rate, I tried the palm oil on some meat tonight, and it tasted pretty good. At the very least, it's a way to provide a little diversity in flavors and micronutrients. With the phasing out of trans fat, palm oil use seems to be on the rise. More background information on palm oil in America is available at this site.
