flag Indian cardiologists urge reevaluating saturated fats and palm oil based on science, not fear.

flag At the 2025 Indian Medical Association conference, cardiologists urged a science-based reevaluation of saturated fats and palm oil, arguing that their risks are context-dependent and influenced more by overall diet and lifestyle than by fat type alone. flag They noted that replacing saturated fats with some unsaturated fats doesn’t consistently reduce heart disease deaths and highlighted palm oil’s advantages over trans fats. flag Experts also pointed to the potential health benefits of palm tocotrienols, compounds in red palm oil, for managing diabetes and hypertension, citing strong safety data. flag The discussions emphasized shifting from fear-driven dietary rules to balanced, evidence-based nutrition guidance.
