Each Russian, including infants, consumes 77 kilograms of palm oil per year. We consume it with sweets and cookies, cakes and pastries, and with dairy products. And without even suspecting it. The number of counterfeit foods is not decreasing. But few people in Russia know that palm oil can be technical and food grade. It's like alcohol - people die from technical palm oil, and food grade palm oil is used to make vodka... In his documentary, journalist Arkady Mamontov explains why it is dangerous to use technical palm oil in the food industry and how this may be related to the growth of cancer in our country. The film raises the issue of an early change in the Technical Regulations for oil and fat products and the introduction of restrictions on the content of glycidyl esters of fatty acids in palm oil.
