Stoler encourages Mom Talk listeners to embrace healthy fats

Media Buzz: Listeners of the national program Mom Talk Radio learned how embracing better-for-you fats such as those found in avocados, nuts and Malaysian certified sustainable palm oil can help you spring clean your diet. Author, health and wellness expert, and registered dietitian nutritionist Felicia Stoler helped listeners kick off the spring cleaning process with a discussion about healthy fats.

Stoler explained to host Maria Bailey, “Looking at different oils that people can use over the summer, I know a lot of times people like to use olive oil for everything. Olive oil just has monounsaturated fatty acids. We need to have polyunsaturated fatty acids, too and something I’m a huge fan of is sustainable Malaysian palm fruit oil. It’s grown certified sustainable.” Stoler adds, “It’s used in a lot of products to replace trans fats. It’s naturally trans fat- and GMO-free.”

Sime Darby Bhd continues to innovate, pushing the palm oil agenda to the fore.

Sime Darby Plantation Managing Director Datuk Franki Anthony Dass
stresses that R&D plays a critical role in the future of the palm oil industry. The breakthrough Sime Darby had with Genome Select means the new palms will be able to produce yields of about 11 tonnes oil yield per hectare using the same land. This is in line with the move towards more effective use of land, further reducing the need to expand agricultural land to cultivate more oil palm. The company’s R&D team is also shifting its focus to the downstream business, looking at specialty products and creating palm oil-based super food. “Palm oil-based foods will have various elements of health including anti-obesity and longevity. No other oil can match palm oil in its nutritional value,” he says. Palm oil is a rich source of antioxidants, including vitamin E such as tocotrienols, and carotenoids including beta-carotene and lycopene.

Renowned researcher studies tocotrienols’ effect on bone health

High dietary intake of vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) was reported to decrease bone mass in rodents by Keio University team in 2012 ¹. However, this assumption may not be true, based on a new study conducted by researchers — led by the renowned Professor Maret Traber – at Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University. The new study demonstrates that oral administration of high dose of alpha-tocopherol as well as mixed-tocotrienol do not cause any significant negative effects on bone mass, bone microarchitecture, bone formation and bone marrow osteogenic (bone forming) gene expressions.

Rising Health Awareness Among People to Propel the Global Market for Mixed Tocopherol – Press Release

Albany, NY — (SBWIRE) — 05/09/2017 — Tocopherol has the capacity to protect and fight many diseases such as restless leg syndrome, neurogenic problems, Huntington’s chorea, oral cancer, lung cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. This is the reason why the awareness about the health benefits of tocopherol among people is spreading in many emerging nations. Tocopherol or vitamin E, obtained from nuts, spinach, tomatoes, and almonds is used for various reasons. The application of mixed tocopherol is increasing in the pharmaceutical industries, which is a key factor expected to propel the global mixed tocopherol market. A large number of pharma companies are using tocopherol to manufacture medicines that can cure various health issues.

Vitamin E tocotrienols may improve metabolitic profiles in older women

Dietary supplements containing vitamin E tocotrienols derived from annatto may lower inflammation and oxidative stress in older women with osteoporosis, says a new study.

Vitamin E in Multivitamins

Considering that upwards of 60% of Americans have insufficient vitamin E levels, its inclusion in multivitamins is important for helping meet the recommended dietary intake of this vital nutrient. The main role of vitamin E in the body is to contribute to antioxidant defenses that help counteract the oxidative stress produced by biological processes. In addition, there are some early indications that vitamin E’s antioxidant qualities can also help reduce the risk of chronic health disorders such as cardiovascular complications, cognitive decline, and diabetes.

Vitamin E is special but not wrinkle proof

Many people ask whether vitamin E will help prevent facial wrinkles in men and women. Actually there are no product recommendations for using vitamin E to prevent wrinkles caused by aging in adult men and women. However vitamin E is necessary and essential for human nutrition. It is a naturally occurring product belonging to the fat soluble vitamin group.

The truth about superfoods and antioxidants

What can be pretty annoying are things which are extravagantly marketed despite the fact that they cannot possibly match depicted expectations. One such item is a fad called “clean eating” – this irritates me because the term implies that if we do not embrace the foods faddists suggest, then somehow we would be eating dirty rubbish instead.

Research delivers insight into the Worldwide mixed tocopherol market forecasts to 2022

In order to enable an in-depth analysis, the global mixed tocopherols market is segmented based on types, end-use applications and geography. There are four types of tocopherols, namely, alpha tocopherol, beta tocopherol, gamma tocopherol and delta tocopherol.

Geroprotectors developed using artificial intelligence to launch in Europe

To develop the first formulation for Life Extension scientists at Insilico Medicine developed a “signature of aging” for every tissue in the human body by comparing the gene expression in young and old tissue. Gene expression data is hugely variable, so the team needed to develop a set of tools to capture the minute changes that transpire during the aging process.
