US MAHA war on seed oils could benefit Asian palm and coconut oil

The backlash against seed oils in the U.S., spearheaded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his Make America Healthy Again campaign, has raised concerns about their health impact. Critics like Cate Shanahan, who refer to these oils as the "Hateful Eight," argue that they're harmful. This movement could shift consumer preferences away from seed oils and toward alternatives like palm and coconut oil, which are widely used in Asian cuisine. The change in dietary habits might have broader implications for global oil markets and health trends.
