While palm oil has been found to be somewhat benefical to our health, it's still considered an unhealthy oil, not just for our health, but for our enviornment too. Sadly, palm oil has been, and still continues to be, one of the major drivers of deforestation, destroying the habitat of some incredible and already endangered species. But that's not just it, our Earth's wonderful soil is being ruined too, with millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.
