Do you avoid products with palm oil?

Question

Thanks marqueen. I am surprised indeed that this is in so many products in health shops as I thought such stores would be more keen to avoid the use of palm oil as you would expect them to be more environmentally concerned. Hmmm.

Answer 1

I do, but for me it is a health issue rather than an environmental one.

Answer 2

Yes, I do and it requires very careful label reading. Palm Oil is in many kinds of ice cream and the Newman's Own brand puts it in their organic cookies so even if the label says organic you still must read the label.
