Massive amounts of inflammatory PUFAs.

No, palm oil is terrible and everywhere in ultra processed food because it's extremely cheap.

There are few healthy vegetable oils and they tend to be very expensive: olive, macadamia, coconut, etc.

EDIT: I stand corrected, it has moderate amounts of PUFA, but terrible Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio (45/1), which is thought to have metabolic consequences.

My understanding has been that it's cheap, saturated, and solid/stable, so it's a straightforward replacement for the hydrogenated oils that were previously being used in many of the same applications before the whole trans fat issue banished them.

Canola oil is cheap and it improves health outcomes in humans despite twitter sophistry.
