Palm kernel oil is primarily composed of fatty triglycerides, with approximately 80 percent saturated fats and 20 percent unsaturated fats. Palm kernel oil can be found in a number of products, including margarine, vegetable oil and shortening, creamers, chocolate and ice cream. Depending on the amount per serving, palm kernel oil may offer some health benefits. Cholesterol-free One benefit of palm kernel oil is that it is completely free of cholesterol, which is not the case with animal-based fats like butter. Due to the cholesterol-free nature of vegetable-based oils and margarines, like palm kernel oil, there has been some speculation that these types of oils and fats are healthier than butter. However, this may not be the case. According to the Cleveland Clinic, margarines contain trans-fats that can lead to heart disease. Vitamin K Palm kernel oil also contains vitamin K. Vitamin K is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that is important in bone health and as a coagulation factor in the blood. While you could potentially get 67 percent of your daily recommended allowance of vitamin K in a cup of palm kernel oil, you would be highly advised not to do so. The same serving size would deliver 94 percent of your daily calories, and nearly nine--times the recommended allowance for saturated fats in a single day. This would be one benefit of palm kernel oil that does not outweigh the risks. Palm kernel oil does not contain cholesterol, so it is a healthy substitute for butter and lard in cooking. Palm kernel oil, when used alone or when mixed with other oil (like, Shea butter) helps in nourishing, and preventing dry skin. Palm kernel also aids in healthy hair, nail, and lips treatment. Use as an hot oil treatment on dry, hair scalp for that soothing feeling and needed moisture Here are the benefits of palm kernel oil.

Palm kernal oil increases 'good' cholesterol as compared to other saturated oils such as coconut oil. Thus the health benefits of palm kernel oil also include promoting healthy cardiovascular health. Palm kernel oil products are trans-fat free - Another of the benefits of Palm kernal oil is that it is high in a variety of fats, vitamins and other nutrients but has no trans-fatty acids which are implicated to increase the risk of cancer, interfere with fat metabolism, enhance fat deposits in the arteries, and reduce the body's ability destroy of carcinogens and other toxins. As mentioned before, one of the good qualities of palm kernel oil is that solid fats made from palm oil are healthier than other seed and nut oils as it does not have to go through hydrogenation. Hydrogenation of oils produces TFAs along with saturated fatty acids. TFAs have been found to trigger breast cancer, colonic cancer, and heart disease. Hydrogenated oils are also believed to cause development of Type 2 diabetes and impairment of brain development in newborns. Thus one of the health benefits of palm kernel oil is that it is a heart and body friendly oil.
