Life in Congo, Part V: What a (long) strange trip its being....

Whoa, there Tim! Its crossposted to rec.boats.paddle (another newsgroup I frequent, as well as some other roffians), and Mary is NOT someone you want to tangle with. She stands up for herself quite well. This might get VERY interesting. :-) --riverman |

The "T" at the end of Palmolive was supposed to be the itty bitty superposed TM trademark symbol and that's the way it showed upon on my screen when I typed it. Wolfgang stupid computer. :( |

She stands up for herself quite well. If I had noticed the crossposting, I would have eliminated the second group, as I normally do not like to enter the crossposting milieu. But my post wasn't meant as a slant towards Mary, but to poke fun at roff, which of course IS full of bull**** on a regular basis (See - there goes some now.) So Mary, you can stand up or be seated and it will make no difference to me - whatever makes you comfortable. :) -- TL, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

I would like to see a reference for that too. My bull**** meter got up to 75% on that one and I got curious. All I can find is one environmental action group recommending a boycott of palm oil products that are produced in areas where the orangutan still lives (because people are clearing forests to plant oil palms), a few articles on import bans (to shore up local production), some articles on developing plantations (in Australia), and a reclassification of 'raw palm oil' in India due to an import tax loophole. Nothing about dangers in consumption but a lot of signs of a huge industry (who knew!). Palm oil is very high in saturated fat (the bad kind). |

Wrong kind of "dangerous". It's a monstrous clog on the arteries. In its native form, I believe, it's got quite a bit of saturated fat, and it frequently shows up in food products in a hydrogenated form, which is the worst stuff out there. So, it's not bull****, but nevertheless a really bizarre non sequitur. While it's true that palm oil is high in saturated fat, so are pork chops and prime rib. I wouldn't eat a diet very rich in palm oil, but I don't consider it "dangerous." It's very stable and has a pleasant flavor. If I recall correctly, it's supposed to be especially good for baking. |
