Clinical Investigation of the Protective Effects of Palm Vitamin E Tocotrienols on Brain White Matter

Gopalan, Y., Shuaib, I. L., Magosso, E., Ansari, M. A., Abu Bakar, M. R., Wong, J. W., ... & Karuthan, C. (2014). Clinical investigation of the protective effects of palm vitamin E tocotrienols on brain white matter. Stroke, 45(5), 1422-1428.

WMLs are closely related to vascular events of the brain and areindications of fragile brain vascular network, as well as anindependent prognostic measure of future stroke risk and othercognitive health illness, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

RED PALM OILPalm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia developed and patented a physical refining process that produces RPO of similar quality to RBD palm oil, but that retains most of the carotenes, vitamin E, and phytosterols of CPO.

RPO retains up to 80% of the carotene and vitamin E content of CPO.

Trans Fat – A health issue & Palm Oil is a viable solution

1990Mensink and Katan publish landmark study: diets rich in trans fats conferred the least favorable effects on serum cholesterol levels vs diets rich in saturated fats or oleic acid

1990—2000A meta-analysis of studies found that 2% increase in energy intake from trans fats was associated with a 23% increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease
