"3-MCPD in Refined Cooking Oils". Palm oil is the most commonly used vegetable oil in the world today.
Pick up any package of processed junk in a box, bag, bottle, or jar,
and odds are it will have palm oil.. Not only does it contain the primary cholesterol-raising saturated fat
found mostly in meat and dairy, concerns have been raised about the safety of
palm oil, given the finding that it may contain a potentially toxic
chemical contaminant known as 3-monochloropropane-1, 2-diol,
otherwise known as 3-MCPD, which is formed during. the heat treatment involved in the refining of vegetable oils.
So these contaminants end up being widespread. in refined vegetable oils and fats,. and any products that contain them, including infant formulas.
It's been found in all refined vegetable oils, but some are worse than others.
The lowest levels of the toxic contaminants were found in canola oil,
and the highest levels in palm oil.. Based on the available data, this may result in a significant amount
of human exposure, especially when used to deep fry salty foods like French fries.
In fact, just five fries could blow through the tolerable daily intake.
