Aceite de Palma

¿Qué es?

El aceite de palma es un aceite comestible que proviene del fruto de la palma de aceite (Elaeis guineensis). El aceite de palma crudo, o "aceite de palma rojo", tiene un alto contenido de betacaroteno.

El aceite de palma contiene grasas saturadas e insaturadas. Algunos tipos de aceite de palma contienen vitamina E y betacaroteno. Estos tipos de aceite de palma pueden tener efectos antioxidantes. El aceite de palma refinado se obtiene blanqueando, desodorizando y neutralizando el aceite de palma crudo.

Las personas usan aceite de palma para prevenir y tratar la deficiencia de vitamina A. También se usa para la malaria, enfermedades cardíacas, cáncer y muchas otras condiciones, pero no existe una buena evidencia científica que respalde estos otros usos.

¿Qué tan efectivo es?

Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database (La Base Exhaustiva de Datos de Medicamentos Naturales) clasifica la eficacia, basada en evidencia científica, de acuerdo a la siguiente escala: Eficaz, Probablemente Eficaz, Posiblemente Eficaz, Posiblemente Ineficaz, Probablemente Ineficaz, Ineficaz, e Insuficiente Evidencia para Hacer una Determinación.

La clasificación de la eficacia para este producto es la siguiente:

Probablemente eficaz para...

  • Deficiencia de vitamina A. Agregar aceite de palma roja a la dieta de los niños o durante el embarazo en los países en desarrollo reduce la posibilidad de tener niveles bajos de vitamina A. También parece ayudar a aumentar los niveles de vitamina A en aquellos que ya tienen niveles bajos.
Existe interés en utilizar el aceite de palma para otros fines, pero no hay suficiente información confiable para decir si podría ser útil.

¿Es seguro?

Cuando se toma por vía oral: El aceite de palma se consume comúnmente en los alimentos. Pero el aceite de palma contiene un tipo de grasa que puede aumentar los niveles de colesterol. Por lo tanto, la gente debe evitar comer aceite de palma en exceso. El aceite de palma es posiblemente seguro cuando se usa como medicamento a corto plazo. Tomar de 7 a 12 gramos al día durante un máximo de 6 meses parece seguro.

Advertencias y precauciones especiales:

Embarazo: El aceite de palma se consume comúnmente en los alimentos. El aceite de palma es posiblemente seguro cuando se toma por vía oral como medicamento durante los últimos 3 meses de embarazo.

Lactancia: No hay suficiente información confiable para saber si el aceite de palma es seguro para usar como medicamento durante la lactancia. Manténgase en el lado seguro y limítese a las cantidades de alimentos.

Niños: El aceite de palma se consume comúnmente en los alimentos. El aceite de palma es posiblemente seguro cuando se toma por vía oral como medicamento. El aceite de palma se ha utilizado a diario durante hasta 6 meses en niños menores de 5 años y durante hasta 12 meses en niños de 5 años en adelante.

Colesterol alto: El consumo regular de alimentos que contienen aceite de palma puede aumentar los niveles de colesterol de lipoproteínas de baja densidad (LDL o "malo"). Esto podría ser un problema para las personas que ya tienen el colesterol alto.

¿Existen interacciones con medicamentos?

Moderadas
Tenga cuidado con esta combinación
Medicamentos que retardan la coagulación de la sangre (medicamentos anticoagulantes / antiplaquetarios)
El aceite de palma puede retardar la coagulación sanguínea. La ingesta de aceite de palma junto con medicamentos que también retardan la coagulación de la sangre puede aumentar el riesgo de hematomas y sangrado.

¿Existen interacciones con hierbas y suplementos?

Betacaroteno
El aceite de palma contiene betacaroteno. La ingesta de suplementos de betacaroteno junto con aceite de palma puede resultar en demasiado betacaroteno.
Vitamina A
El aceite de palma contiene betacaroteno, que es un componente básico de la vitamina A. Tomar un suplemento de vitamina A o betacaroteno junto con aceite de palma puede resultar en demasiada vitamina A.

¿Existen interacciones con alimentos?

No se conoce ninguna interacción con alimentos.

¿Como se usa normalmente?

El aceite de palma se usa comúnmente en alimentos procesados y como aceite para freír.

Como medicamento, los adultos han utilizado con mayor frecuencia el aceite de palma roja en dosis de 7 a 12 gramos por vía oral al día durante un máximo de 6 meses. En los niños, el aceite de palma roja se ha utilizado en dosis de 6 a 9 gramos por vía oral al día durante un máximo de 6 meses. Hable con un proveedor de atención médica para averiguar qué dosis podría ser la mejor para una condición específica.
