Palm Oil vis-a-vis Coconut Oil

Tuesday 11 August 2009
StarSpecial Monday 10 August 2009 carried an article "The Miracle Oil". And the oil meant here is Virgin Coconut Oil(VCO). A local company Ori Health Sdn Bhd is the developer of a host of coconut oil-based beauty products under the label Orifera. According to the General Manager, VCO in fact promotes weight loss by increasing our body's metabolic rate so that it burns more calories. " Studies have also shown that VCO provides many other health benefits including improved absorption of vitamins and minwerals, improved thyroid function, heart health, detoxification and faster healing from illnesses and injuries." Ori products are certified Halal and has the USFDA accreditation.
Similarly, palm oil-based beauty products too share similar attributes, and more. More, because palm oil contains the highest amount of Vitamin E compared to other oils. Vitamin E in beauty creams and products delays the ageing process.
