09 Jul 2020 --- The issue of deforestation for palm oil production is widely known. Still, a new study from the University of Exeter, UK, says coconut oil threatens more species per liter produced than palm or other vegetable oils. The researchers use this example to highlight the difficulties of “conscientious consumption.” However, the authors emphasize that the objective of the study is not to add coconut to the growing list of products that consumers should avoid. Indeed, they note that olives and other crops also raise concerns.
