Lipids: “Antioxidant effects of tocotrienols in patients with hyperlipidemia and carotid stenosis.” CAROTINO® Premium is a nutritious cooking/salad oil which is rich in phytonutrients such as Natural Carotenes, Tocotrienols & Tocopherols (Vitamin E), Co-enzyme Q10 and is also cholesterol free. Facts About CAROTINO PREMIUM CAROTINO® is endorsed by the Swiss Vitamin Institute for its contents of Carotenes, Vitamin E and Co-enzyme Q10. However, consuming olive oil by following the Mediterranean diet was associated with improved glucose levels, which is associated with a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes if it is too high. It also reduced the level of triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, and LDL cholesterol levels.

C12s are like long chain fatty acids that got categorised into medium chain,” says Wallace. “About 70% of C12s act as long chain fatty acids, which are transported to the liver.” Longer chain fatty acids are more likely to be stored in the liver as fat and could, over time, cause health issues such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. While the vitamin E in red palm oil may improve heart health, other aspects of the oil can lead to heart problems. Compared with other liquid vegetable oils, red palm oil is worse at lowering cholesterol, and may even raise “bad” LDL cholesterol levels. One study found that palm oil increased cholesterol in healthy individuals compared with olive oil, for example. In recent years, coconut oil, which is around 90% saturated fat, has become the latest trendy “superfood”. It’s been hailed as a superfood (including that it's less likely to be stored in the body as fat and more likely to be expended as energy) – but one Harvard University epidemiologist calls it “pure poison”. Carotenes and Vitamin E in CAROTINO® act as scavengers of damaging free-radicals and play a protective role in ageing, atherosclerosis and cancer.

Whenever a food becomes as universal as palm oil, it’s important to consider its effects on health. Science has taken to researching this oil to identify the health benefits it provides as well as its potential risks. Nutrition Information

As with heart health, red palm oil may offer brain benefits. The vitamin E in red palm oil may be able to reduce or halt the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease due to lesions on the brain. This is because vitamin E protects the brain from free radicals, which can damage your neurons.But Taylor Wallace, an adjunct professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at George Mason University in Virginia, argues lauric acid is not as healthy as some claims suggest. It is categorised as a C12 fatty acid, meaning it has 12 carbon atoms, and that puts it at the limit of the definition of a medium chain fatty acid. Red palm oil is a great source of nutrients and antioxidants, but factors such as its saturated fat content can create complications for some people.

In the right circumstances, red palm oil may offer significant benefits to heart health. The antioxidant effects of the vitamin E and carotenoids in red palm oil appear to help prevent atherosclerosis or the narrowing of blood vessels. More studies need to be done to confirm this effect, but current research is promising. Recent studies have shown that extra virgin olive oil is safe to use for cooking. Researchers carried out a number of experiments monitoring extra virgin olive oil as it cooked at 120C (248F) and (338F) on a pan for different lengths of time. They found that temperature, but not time, had some effect on the polyphenol content in the oil.

Consider the following before using palm oil in your cooking: Carotino Oil is perfect for all your Christmas and everyday cooking. It's rich in Pro-Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Omega 3 & 6, Lycopene and Co-enzyme Q10 so cooking with Carotino Oil is an easy way to get those extra nutrients into your diet. It's great for frying, roasting, baking, and making soups, sauces, and much more! Try it for Christmas cake and mince pies!The message isn’t to add lots of oil because we think it’s good for us, because that’s just adding lots of calories,” she says. Researchers reviewed 30 studies where participants’ diets were altered to test the effects of olive oil, and found that the Mediterranean diet led to lower glucose levels and higher LDL compared to the Western diet. Intervening that diet with olive oil, where it had a high polyphenol content, further increased HDL.

Oils used for cooking tend to get their name from the nut, seeds, fruits, plants or cereals they’re extracted from, either by methods of crushing, pressing, or processing. They’re characterised by their high fat content, including saturated fat, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, some research suggests these health benefits could be partly driven by other components in the diet, rather than olive oil. One review of evidence found that the only benefit of olive oil independent of the Mediterranean diet was its ability to raise levels of beneficial cholesterol HDL. Cooking at high temperatures can damage some oils. Unless an oil is suitable, high heat may cause your food to taste bitter or scorched. The first and only molecular refined palm based cooking oil rich in Natural Carotenes, Tocotrienols & Tocopherols (Vitamin E) and Co-enzyme Q10 Red palm oil is less refined than bleached palm oil. The refinement process involved in producing red palm oil removes fewer nutrients, which makes red palm oil a potentially healthier alternative to standard palm oil.Cooking oils are a kitchen staple. But there’s a lot of conflicting information regarding how healthy each of them are. With so many on the shelves – from coconut to olive, vegetable to canola, avocado to rapeseed oil – how do we know which ones to use, and if we should be avoiding any altogether? American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: “Palm olein increases plasma cholesterol moderately compared with olive oil in healthy individuals.” The competition is open to UK residents only, aged 18 and over.

While Carotino Red Palm & Canola Oil is trending among both healthy choosers and gourmet cooks, there is still some confusion about where and when to use this healthy oil versus olive oil. Factors that you should take into consideration include your current cholesterol level and the temperature of the dish you plan to prepare. Olive oil contains 72 percent monounsaturated fat, 14 percent saturated fat and 9 percent polyunsaturated fat.
