Palm oil’s role in nutrition is often seen without the full picture. We help ground the discussion in science through peer-reviewed research, medical partnerships, technical seminars, and an international conference designed for the new phase of nutrition dialogue.
With a natural balance of saturated and unsaturated fats, palm oil is cholesterol-free, trans-fat free, and nature’s richest source of tocotrienols.
While peer-reviewed studies show it performs as well as olive oil for heart health, public perception is still catching up.
This pillar bridges that gap. We fund the research, brief the medical community, and empower dietitians with the latest data. And soon, we will be convening the world's most sought-after palm oil scientists.
"Palm oil is bad for your heart because it is saturated fat."
Palm oil is roughly 50% saturated and 50% unsaturated. It is naturally cholesterol-free and trans-fat free. Recent studies show palm oil matches olive oil on key cardiovascular markers when eaten as part of a balanced diet.
"Palm oil causes cancer."
There is no evidence that palmitic acid causes cancer. Concerns about 3-MCPD contaminants in refined oils apply to all vegetable oils, and Malaysian palm oil operates within EFSA limits through refining controls.
"Palm oil has no nutritional value."
Red palm oil is the richest known source of tocotrienols, a form of Vitamin E up to 60 times more potent than tocopherol. It contains 15 times the carotenoids of carrots, plus CoQ10, Vitamin K, and squalene.
Bioactive Power of the Palm: Reimagining for a World Facing NCDs
MPOC's new international scientific conference on palm oil and health. The first full-scale MPOC medical and nutrition conference held outside Malaysia since Putrajaya 2023. Hosted in Mumbai, the world's single most important market for the palm oil nutrition conversation.
From the expert panel and medical partnerships to technical seminars and consumer publications.
A year-long initiative featuring five global experts is underway, aiming for 12 to 16 articles across leading news outlets. With a projected reach of 110 million people, this project focuses on India – a country where health narrative matters most.
Technical seminars delivered at trade shows and industry forums, targeting food technologists, nutritionists, and industry buyers in key markets.
A friendly FAQ booklet commissioned by MPOC for the curious consumer. Published in 2025, this second edition tackles 35+ top questions about palm oil and health, all backed by the latest scientific studies.
Tocotrienols and Vitamin E. CoQ10 and squalene. Red palm oil carotenoids. Trans-fat replacement in industrial food systems. The science that makes palm oil a nutrition story, not just a fat story.
Palm oil has the research on its side. Our effort ensures the public, the press, and the medical community actually hear it.
