Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    That’s where I followed on as well, but it kept seeming like I was finding mixed results on the articles. I don’t know enough about which studies are funded by which groups, and I’m pretty sure I’m finding biased stuff. It’s okay, though, I’m not asking you to look things up for me, I just was curious if you had some kind of insight into the industry or not.

      I think if you drill down a bit past the first paragraph citing uncertainty, you’ll find there’s a pretty consistent body of scientific findings naming various ill-health effects. Maybe follow up on those specific studies, supplementing with ScienceDaily and PubMed material as needed?

      I’m not a nutritionist, and haven’t spent much time myself researching palm oil studies, but I can tell you as someone who’s tried to keep abreast of nutritional news for decades, so far I’ve only seen negative findings upon palm oil, both as a food and as an ecological agent of destruction.
