Thanks, Mitch. Exciting research on Malaysian Palm Fruit Oil’s health benefits is ongoing in several different areas.
I’m a nutella user and I too am not aware that it contains palm oil. I guess I’m not much of a label-reader. There are just so many health benefits that we can get from palm oil. Very interesting!
