Most of what consumers think they know about palm oil and health is wrong. We correct the record with peer-reviewed science, medical partnerships, and a new international scientific conference built for the next wave of nutrition dialogue.
Palm oil is roughly 50% saturated and 50% unsaturated, naturally cholesterol-free, trans-fat free, and the richest known dietary source of tocotrienols. Peer-reviewed studies now show palm oil performs on par with olive oil on cardiovascular markers. The consumer conversation has not caught up.
This pillar closes the gap. We fund the research. We brief the doctors. We train the dietitians. We publish the papers. And in September 2026, we bring the world's palm oil scientists to Mumbai.
"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.
Five international experts. Twelve-month campaign. Target: 12 to 16 articles in mainstream Indian media, projected reach 110 million people. India is where the health narrative matters most.
Partnership with the Indian Medical Association and the Oil Technologists' Association of India. Joint seminars, guideline engagement, and physician-facing education across Indian states.
Techno-Economic Marketing for Palm Oil. Technical seminars delivered at trade shows and industry forums, targeting food technologists, nutritionists, and industry buyers in key markets.
India-focused podcast series with practising nutritionists unpacking the science on palm oil, saturated fat, and balanced diets. Reaches the audience most likely to have outdated information.
MPOC's consumer-facing FAQ booklet. Second edition published 2025. Answers the 35+ most-asked questions on palm oil and health, all backed by peer-reviewed research.
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. This pillar makes sure the public, the press, and the medical community actually hear it.
