Can palm oil interfere with the contraceptive pill like saw palmetto?
Hello. I've read from various websites that saw palmetto reduces the effectiveness of contraceptive pills. Can the same be true for palm oil, which is added to various foods? However, are there different chemical compounds in both palms and can palm oil be consumed normally?

The saw palmetto fruit is used as a pharmaceutical raw material, and it is a completely different plant from the palm tree from which the oil is extracted. Cooking oils, including palm oil, will not affect the effectiveness of birth control pills.

Palm oil is extracted from the seeds of the oil palm tree. A better option is to use other fats, as palm oil is high in saturated fats, which can adversely affect heart function and cholesterol levels. In addition, the production and cultivation of oil palm is very harmful to the environment. Native vegetable oils seem to be a more favorable dietary choice.
