| Women Over 40 One Daily 60 Count ?What is Palm? (Detailed) As per our Product Specialist: Stearic acid is derived from hydrogenated palm oil. The hydrogenation process increases the amount of stearic acid which makes for more efficient use of this resource. Many people are concerned about the possibility of trans fats being produced in a hydrogenation process and the potential for negative effects on cholesterol levels. This occurs only with partial hydrogenation. However, the complete hydrogenation of palm oil does not produce trans fat. It simply increases the amount of the saturated fat which is stearic acid. This ingredient does not have negative effects on the body. The body will naturally convert stearic acid to oleic acid (a primary component found in olive oil). |
