Palm Oil And Heart Disease

There are multiple factors that lead to the development cardiovascular disease. While some individuals are born with conditions that predispose them to strokes or heart disease, a majority of people participate in a combination of risk factors that lead to the development of cardiovascular disease. A few of those risk factors include a lack of physical activity, smoking, and poor diet. The more frequently individuals expose themselves to these risk factors the higher their chances of developing cardiovascular disease.

All families in the world have their own personal family risk factors pertaining to their health. These risk factors come from generations that are then sometimes passed down to the newer generations of the family. Some of these risk factors that families have could be diseases or cancers that can unfortunately take one’s life to soon because it attacks their body a certain way and causes it to shut down. But, many families could possibly overcome these risk factors they may have by changing their life styles and not following in the steps of earlier generations. My family risk factor, heart disease, will be discussed through the risk factor, how life style might play a role in the risk factor, what can be done to help lower the chances

Imagine having such intense indescribable pain that is radiating through the chest area towards the arms, neck, and jaws that causes a black out. Now imagine waking up in a cold, stark white hospital room, machines hooked up everywhere making strange noises, and a Doctor speaking what sounds like a foreign language with their list of big words that include Myocardial Infarction, and angioplasty to name a few. Then the three most unnerving words come out of the Doctor’s mouth that would terrify even the most harden criminal, ‘the widow maker.’ After going over medical history after medical history, the determining factor for ‘the widow maker’ is cigarette smoking. Those that survive these heart attacks should count themselves extremely

Palm Oil makes up more than 50% of daily used goods, particularly food goods, but this is not without effects on other animals, plants and people. Many people are completely unaware of the effects of Palm Oil. This is the reason why more awareness of Palm Oil and it’s effects, is necessary. This report will look at what Palm Oil is, how it is used, it’s positives, it’s negatives and sustainable Palm Oil.

Palmetto Heart is now part of the Palmetto Health USC Medical Group and became official on April 1, 2016. Palmetto Heart has four offices throughout the Columbia area, which two offices are located in Columbia, and one office in Hartsville, and Sumter. Palmetto Heart’s team of cardiologists is dedicated to providing patients with the same level of care and compassion throughout the visit. With treating conditions that range from heart valve disorders to peripheral vascular disease to atrial fibrillation, it is important to provide access to certain individuals that are allowed to be authorized to receive or review the information pertaining to the patient’s information.

Cardiovascular disease has reportedly been the number one disease killer for men and women in the United States of America. Every one out of four deaths is caused by heart disease in the United States alone (Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention). Heart disease refers to the different types of conditions and symptoms that can affect the one’s heart and its functions to the body (Mayo Clinic). Cardiovascular/Heart disease has many causes and conditions, prevention methods and symptoms, and treatment options.

Diseases like diabetes and heart attacks have increased due to the over consumption of processed fats and animal products. The average American consumes more than enough protein and not enough essential fatty acids to balance

The process can be achieved by chemical or enzymatic routes. The change in the TAG composition has been known to change the crystallization properties of the fats including the microstructure 28, solid fat content29, rheology30 and the hardness of the fats. These properties determine the spreadability, flavor release, hardness of fats in the final application. Schmidt et. al31 studied and compared the physical properties of the blends of vegetable oil with fully hydrogenated vegetable oil and their chemically interesterified randomized counterparts. The randomization of the fatty acids on the TAGs caused a reduction in the melting point and the solid fat content of the samples31. Ahmadi et al.32 studied the differences in the physical properties of the non-interesterified (NI) and chemically (CI) and enzymatically (EI) interesterified blends of fully hydrogenated canola oil (FHCO) and High Oleic sunflower oil (HOCO) in different proportions. The change in the TAG composition did reduce the solid fat content of both the interesterified fats compared to the non interesterified fat at lower temperature, however beyond 70°C, the SFC of the NI fats was lower32. The storage modulus (G’) had the following trend: CI>EI>NI and was dependent on the TAG composition, while

If you’ve ever read the “Ingredients” label on candy or peanut butter or even margaine, you might have spotted this horrible component of food. It can hide under various names, but it’s still the same terrible substance. Palm oil is horrible for the environment, animals, and people.

Additionally, Palm Oil is highly productive, meaning it is capable of yielding more oil from less land than any other vegetable oil on the market and with relatively modest efforts. As a result, palm oil production has become an important source of income and a major part of the economy in the regions where it is grown, providing livelihoods for local communities and helping to bring people out of poverty. Since 1980, palm oil production has increased drastically with estimations of production increasing by 50% through 2050. It is estimated that there are 13-14 million hectares of palm oil plantations across the equator, producing a total of 56.2 million tonnes of palm oil in 2013. This land coverage provides 35% of the global vegetable oil

Palm oil is used in anything from food to consumer products. It is even estimated that 10% of all U.S goceries contain palm oil. The ingredient is used so often because it is considered the cheapest cooking oil in the world (Questions and Answers about Palm Oil). It is in products as diverse as Nutella, shampoo, cereals, toothpaste, ice cream, vitamins, detergent, and sometimes even the fuel in cars. This basically signifies that palm oil is everywhere. Furthermore, there are numerous brands that supply most of their products using palm oil as a major ingredient. For instance the popular brands Kraft, Starbucks, General Mills, and Colgate are just a few of them (Gertz). However, if one were to look under the ingredients list, palm oil could very easily be disguised by a few different names. A couple of them are palm kernel, palmitic acid, sodium kernelate, stearic acid, and vegetable fat (Breyer). If one were to check the labels of the products that they were using, they would be shocked about this

Because trans fatty acid is also unsaturated oil, we consider it is healthy (Millstein S., 2015). That is why the FDA encouraged people use it in 1950s, so many companies think their products are healthy. (Smith Y., 2015) However, through fifty years, a large amount of scientists associated the trans fatty acid increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Because they found the process, which synthesizes the trans fatty acid and produces a compound called partially hydrogenated oil (PHOs), the trans fatty acid has already demonstrated that decreases the high-density cholesterol and increase the low-density cholesterol. The author investigated that intake of the trans fatty acid increases the risk of coronary heart disease more than saturated oil (Nicole M. de Roos, Michiel L. Bots, Martijn B. Katan , 2001). Because of those reasons, the FDA promotes to push the new law to protect peoples’

Palm Oil is a versatile resource used for many purposes, the largest one of these purposes is in cooking and foodstuffs, which accounts for over 65% of total consumption.

Issue- Palm oil is one of the world's most popular edible vegetable oil. Palm oil is used in most goods available at your local supermarket. This particular oil is affordable but it comes at an immense cost to our environment. Palm oil has been connected to many human rights, animal, and environmental violations yet organisations and companies all over the world persist in using this particular oil in just about everything, in fact this popular oil is in about half of all products on store shelves. Including products like soap, snacks, laundry detergent, cosmetics, and even ice-cream.

Palm oil is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and the oil is derived from the kernel seed of the palm (Poku, 2002). Palm oil has a characteristic dark red color because of a high amount of beta-carotene (Lai et.al.,2015; Ng and Choo,2016).Palm oil is commonly used as cooking medium in Africa, Southeast Asia and parts of Brazil due to its lower cost (Behrman et al, 2005). and its nutritional and health attributes have been well
