What nutrients are actually in the vegetable oil we use every day? Palm oil is a common ingredient in many foods, yet its nutritional role is often underestimated. Some nutrients are absorbed differently by the body. Fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K rely on dietary fats to be absorbed from the foods we eat. Palm oil plays a role here. It is cholesterol free, trans fat free, and naturally contains vitamin E, which helps explain how it fits into everyday nutrition. Understanding how fats support nutrient absorption makes food choices easier to navigate. This is part of Malaysia’s effort to share clear, accessible nutrition facts that support informed decisions. Watch the video to learn how nutrients and fats work together. #MPOC #SustainableMalaysianPalmOil #NutritionAwareness

Many people underestimate how early eye health is shaped by everyday dietary choices. Research conducted in Malaysia shows that natural carotenes found in palm oil may help protect eye cells from oxidative stress, a factor linked to age related eye conditions. This evidence, developed through scientific collaboration, adds clarity to how naturally occurring compounds can support long term eye health. When nutrition is understood through science, informed choices become possible.
