It is far more dangerous than Alcohol or smoking put together. And, ironically, India is the biggest importer of the Palm Oil in the world, claims Dr Bhave, of PGI.
He goes on to say that, the product is today the biggest threat to our posterity.
There is no fast food available in this country without Palm oil. If one goes to a grocery store, and ask to get a food product without Palm oil, you will not get.
Apprehensions are also there that, the chocolates and biscuits of reputed companies or brands are all made from the same oil. It is a different matter that, people are made to believe that, they are good for health. Which is not the truth, says the results of the findings.
Hardly people know that the Palm Oil or the Palmitic acid, the big companies who produce packed munchies is just because the oil is cheap.
Studies show that, each time a child eats any product with Palm oil, the brain behaves inappropriately and also signals to secrete fat around and in the heart which leads to Diabetes at an early age.
The World Economic Forum has projected that, 50 per cent of the people who die at young age will die of diabetes or cardiac arrests.
The inclination of the children towards junk foods, far from the healthy diets like fruits or vegetables, is a real paradox.
A letter from about one lakh doctors has been sent to the prime minister of India to check the prevalence of the Palm oil to ward off the impending danger to the posterity.
