#4Yet another thing on the cancerogenic pile sigh
At some point you have to ask yourself if everything but water gives us cancer.

#5Well, this study passes the "we dumped a bunch of X on cancer cells in a petri dish and they did a funny thing" red flag test.
Xenographs (implanting human cancer cells into mice) have their own caveats (the immune system is almost always severely compromised), but this seems like a cool study. I'm no expert on oral cancers however.
Curious to see the implication of the neuronal cells here, I'm looking forward to reading the whole manuscript.

Gotta watch out for lead in the water too!

#7Interesting article. One thing to note is that this study seemed to (correct me if I'm wrong) focus on palmitic acid, which can be found primarily in palm oil, but can also be found in meat, cheese, and butter, to name a few other sources.

If palm oil wasn't as profitable they will just grow the next most profitable thing in the orangutan habitat. The problem is one of not setting aside land for preserves vs one particular industry or another. Anything will expand to fill the space if land is offered for sale and zoned for industry.

Palm oil seems to be in everything.
