Tropical Oils
- Palm Kernel Oil
Pressed from the fruit of the oil palm rather than its seed, so it is not one of the seed oils. Around half saturated fat, mostly palmitic acid, and a meta-analysis of controlled trials found it raises LDL cholesterol compared with vegetable oils low in saturated fat. Palm kernel oil comes from the seed inside the same fruit and carries more saturated fat again. Both stay solid at room temperature without hydrogenation, which is why coatings use them.
Sun et al., Journal of Nutrition (2015)
Seed Oils
- Sunflower Oil, Canola Oil
Refined oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid. Controlled trials show oils rich in linoleic acid lower LDL cholesterol compared with saturated fat, and heart health bodies support their use. The concern raised in popular coverage is about the omega-6 to omega-3 balance of the wider diet, and about oxidation products when these oils are repeatedly heated.
American Heart Association advisory, Circulation (2017)
Sugar Alcohols
- Glycerin
Chemically a sugar alcohol, used to keep bars soft and moist rather than to sweeten. The EU safety authority found no safety concern at food levels. Large amounts can draw water into the gut and have a laxative effect.
