A number of companies have been bringing products to market containing Red Palm Oil which is pressed from palm tree fruit and is supposed to be extremely high in antioxidants.  Although it does contain tocotrienois (from the Vitamin E family) as well as carotenoids (which the body converts into Vitamin A), so far there isn’t scientific proof that it wards off disease.  Several studies suggest possible benefits including stroke and liver disease prevention, but the jury is still out on how effective it may be.
