Johnson & Johnson

Global mega-brand Johnson & Johnson have issued a position statement on palm oil in 2020.

‘At Johnson & Johnson, we are committed to doing our part to address the unsustainable rate of global deforestation, particularly in precious rain forests.’

~ Johnson & Johnson

However, despite this virtue signalling, the brand’s supply chain continues to slash and burn forests and release mega-tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, and killing hundreds of endangered species. Once these animals are gone – they are gone for good. See research on Johnson & Johnson’s palm oil sources.

Look Up Johnson & Johnson on PalmWatchIn a new oil-palm plantation near Sungaihantu, in South Kalimantan, the skeleton of a tree is the last relic of the rainforest that once was.

Johnson & Johnson makes claims of sustainability including a ‘promise’ to stop deforestation. Promises mean nothing – action is what matters.
Johnson & Johnson has a high ranking on the WWF Scorecard and an RSPO certification. However this high ranking is greenwashing and this mega-brand is purchasing huge amounts of palm oil from two mills that are responsible for deforestation: Peputra Group and Jhonlin.

Kelloggs/Kellanova

In late 2023, Kelloggs became Kellanova for their US arm. Savvy consumers have been pressuring Kelloggs for decades to cease using deforestation palm oil. Yet they actually haven’t stopped this. From their website:

‘All of the palm oil that is used in our products is sourced from a combination of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Certified Segregated supply chain, RSPO Mass Balance mixed-source supply and the purchase of Green Palm certificates.’

Read more: Kelloggs website

This phrasing above means absolutely nothing. In reality, Kelloggs’ supply chain continues to slash and burn thousands of hectares of forests and release mega-tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. Kellogg’s is therefore involved in the killing thousands of endangered species. Once these animals are gone – they are gone for good. See research on Kelloggs’s palm oil sources including a PDF of their palm oil mills.

Boycott Kelloggs because their products contain palm oil linked to deforestation and species extinction

Global Witness October 2021 Report: Violence and death for palm oil connected to household supermarket brands (RSPO members)

Kelloggs makes claims of sustainability for palm oil on their website. However these claims do not match what is happening on the ground. This is pure greenwashing.
The brand has a high ranking on the WWF Scorecard and has an RSPO certification. However this high ranking is greenwashing and this mega-brand is purchasing huge amounts of palm oil from four mills that are responsible for 44% of all deforestation: Jhonlin, Mulia Sawit, Tunas Baru Lampung and Peputra Group

Palm Oil Detectives thinks it is wise to boycott all Kelloggs sub-brands until it has been independently verified that they have stopped 100% of their deforestation activities throughout the world.

Four Things to Know about Cholesterol

Cholesterol is among the most feared substances, but why? You need cholesterol to produce some hormones and to build vital structures in your body. But too much-referred to as high cholesterol-can build up in your arteries and lead to heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.

That’s why it’s important to get tested and know your cholesterol numbers; they show how much cholesterol is circulating in your blood.

We asked Sonia Tolani, MD, an expert in cardiovascular disease and cholesterol management, to explain the good and the bad about cholesterol, and how to have healthy levels. To start, she says, “Know your cholesterol numbers and keep them in check. You are in control. Maintaining normal cholesterol levels significantly reduces your risk of heart attack and stroke.”

A. Prof Sonia Tolani from @whccolumbia talks about why consuming #palmoil #meat and convenience foods may put you at risk of a #heartattack 🫀🫁 or #stroke. For your #health you should #Boycottpalmoil, go #vegan 🥕🥦 #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect https://palmoildetectives.com/2022/10/19/four-things-to-know-about-cholesterol/

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a substance that circulates in your blood. Your liver produces most of the cholesterol in your body. Other cholesterol enters your body through food.

The two most important types of cholesterol:

  1. LDL (low-density lipoprotein)
    • This is the bad one; your target number depends on your risk for heart disease. Most people should aim for an LDL below 100, but those with diabetes or who have cardiovascular disease should aim for lower, below 70.
  2. HDL (high-density lipoprotein)
    • This is the good one. For women, a good level is above 60; for men, it’s above 40.

Too much LDL, or too little HDL, increases health risk.

Saturated fat: foods to avoid

Where does cholesterol come from?

Your liver and cells in your body produce about 80% of the cholesterol in your blood. Food brings in the other 20%. Food that’s high in trans and saturated fats contributes to bad levels of cholesterol (not food that’s high in cholesterol, as once was thought). Bad means bad for your health.

When you take in more cholesterol, your liver reduces its cholesterol production and removes the excess. But some people’s livers don’t do this well, because of their genes.

Trans and saturated fats

Trans fats are primarily artificial (created by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to make it more solid) but some occur naturally in animal products. The Food and Drug Administration banned trans fats in the United States in 2018, with the final allowable manufacturing date of Jan. 1, 2021. But some processed and packaged food may still have trans fat because of how it is processed.

Packaged food includes:

  • Biscuits
  • Cookies
  • Crackers
  • Frosting
  • Microwave popcorn
  • Pie crusts
  • Pizza
  • Vegetable shortening and oil

Look at the nutrition facts panel on packaged food to see how many trans fats it contains.

In addition to increasing heart disease and stroke risk, consuming trans fats increases risk of type 2 diabetes. The American Heart Association recommends that most people reduce or eliminate consumption of trans fats.

Saturated fats occur naturally in many foods, such as animal-based and tropical oils, including:

  • Beef
  • Butter, cheese, cream
  • Coconut
  • Lamb
  • Lard
  • Pork
  • Poultry, especially with skin
  • Palm oil

Research shows that not all saturated fats are bad to eat. The American Heart Association recommends that most people limit daily consumption of saturated fats to 13 grams per day.


Know your numbers

How much cholesterol do you have?

The amount of cholesterol you have depends on genetics, diet, age, activity, assigned sex at birth, and other factors.

Where, when, and how do I get a cholesterol test?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

  • Healthy adults should have their cholesterol checked every four to six years.
  • Children should have their cholesterol checked at least once between ages 9 and 11 and again between ages 17 and 21.
  • People with family history of heart disease should get their cholesterol checked more often.

Ask your doctor about the lipid panel blood test.


Keep cholesterol levels in check (low!)

  • Eat a low saturated fat diet, like the Mediterranean-style diet.
  • Exercise regularly (30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week).
  • Maintain a healthy weight.

In addition, due to genetic factors, some people need medications to keep their cholesterol in check. Talk to your doctor about your known risk factors.


High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that you can control with healthy eating and/or medication. The first step is knowing your cholesterol numbers.
