Palm oil is one of the most widely consumed products on the planet, although huge amounts of people do not know that they are eating it or using it in other ways.

Incredibly, palm oil is found in over half of all supermarket products, including food, makeup and cleaning products.

However, it is coming under increasing scrutiny as its production has serious and devastating repercussions including deforestation, climate change and deaths of animals.

So what common products can palm oil be found in?

Life must be hard when you’re so stunningly beautiful you struggle to form meaningful relationships. I can’t say it’s a problem I’ve had in my life (swings and roundabouts eh).

While I’m keen not to invalidate others’ experiences, the idea that people hate you if you’re attractive has never been something I’ve seen among my certified hottie friends.

Those experiences are heavily publicised, though, and tend to rise to the top of the media agenda when they’re expressed in print.

Remember Samantha Brick? The woman so beautiful that people give her free stuff constantly, and women hate her ‘for no other reason than [her] lovely looks.’

Welcome to What I Rent, a weekly series where we take you inside someone’s house.

We all know that the current housing situation is a hellscape of mouldy walls, paying £1,000 to live in a box room with a fold-out bed, and the slow acceptance that you may never be able to buy your own home.

When you’re looking through endless awful listings and hearing of your mates finding sweet deals in areas that are now beyond expensive, it’s easy to lose sense of what’s normal.

A woman who has a severe phobia of vomit – which she associates with death – says she hasn’t been sick in over 25 years, saying she would even leave home if her housemate threw up.

Bartender Lauren Crooks, 34, developed her fear of vomiting – called emetophobia – when she was only seven, triggered by seeing various family members taken ill.

Now she takes extreme measures, including being teetotal, to avoid feeling queasy.

Explaining that she does not think she wants children, meaning she will never face having morning sickness, Lauren, of Louisville, Kentucky, USA, said: ‘I can’t even live with a sick person, as I’m too frightened… Read the full story

Alcoholic strawberry milkshakes are a thing and they sound absolutely amazing.

Introducing: Tequila Rose, which is essentially a Baileys-inspired strawberry dessert drink served up in a little shot glass.

Tequila Rose is pink, and is a creamy tequila-based liqueur that comes in a super fancy, black rose-covered bottle which is just perfect for Instagram.

According to Tequila Rose, the drink ‘flirts with the line between naughty and nice.’

I had my first intrusive thought when I was nine.

I was sat at the end of my bed when I felt this overwhelming urge to touch the the wooden side of the base. I’m not sure why I felt this particular urge – but a voice in my head said that if I didn’t do it a certain number of times, then something bad would happen.

I remember the anxiety it filled me with, the feeling of dread that filled my body as I worried that if I didn’t follow this particular compulsion, I would… Read the full story

If you’re not a regular Twitter-er, or have no interest in football or general pop culture, you might not know about the recent resurgence of former Everton goalie Neville Southall.

Nev has become something of a national treasure, using his platform to ask questions about and raise awareness of various social justice topics.

For the most part, people love #WokeNeville. However, this week he invoked the wrath of feminist writer Caroline Criado Perez, who also started the hashtag #EndWokeNeville.

When you make your name building sex robots, people are going to ask questions about your own love life.

Robotics expert Dr Sergi Santos takes down the assumption that sex robot users and makers are single and lonely – not only has he been married to his partner Maritsa Kissamitaki for 16 years, but he also credits his sex robot for improving their relationship.

Sergi and Maritsa are the minds behind Samantha, an artificial intelligence-driven love doll.

It’s still rare that we see a body that isn’t super slim and toned in all its unedited glory.

When we do, it feels refreshing, powerful.

We’re so used to not feeling represented that when we see a body that looks a little more like the general population’s, we feel the need to celebrate.

That’s the case for Grace Victory’s recent Instagram post.

Posing naked in a towel, a mirror selfie shouldn’t really be a big deal (unless you’re Kim Kardashian). But because Grace’s photo shows her body, a type of body we’re not used to seeing in the media, it’s been flooded with comments of support and gratitude.

A woman who has not worn shoes in three years – even marrying without any on – is now set to hike more than 500 miles barefot.

20-year-old Kasandra Smith, from Macon, Georgia, says binning her shoes massively reduced the anxiety she’d suffered with in the past.

Kasandra – who combines landscaping with a variety of jobs, including reading tarot cards – first started going barefoot after finishing school.

Growing up, she had a slightly larger frame and, feeling self-conscious doing PE at school, almost exclusively wore flip flops so she could get out of participating.

Rhe more she wore them, the more free she felt.

She explained: ‘I especially loved… Read the full story

Today is siblings day, a celebration of brothers and sisters that began in the US and has since grown to the UK.

Due to the event running overnight, anyone aged under 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

A man who lost his sight to a debilitating eye condition has found love with a fellow climber who has now become his eyes.

Richard Slocock, 38, from Shelton Lock, Derby, was devastated after being eventually diagnosed with macular dystrophy in 2015 after his eyesight rapidly deteriorated and now only has peripheral vision.

Richard, who had been climbing for over 12 years, found it difficult to come to terms with his loss of sight until he met his now-partner, Keely Fowkes, who has helped him achieve his dream climbing for team GB and now acts as his eyes.

Richard, who works for Rolls Royce aircraft engines, said: ‘Back in… Read the full story

Palm oil is a popular cooking oil.

One of the tropical oils (along with coconut oil and palm kernel oil), it’s made from the fruit of oil palm trees.

The oil is found in many edible products like bread, biscuits, cereals, and processed convenience foods, as well as being used to make cosmetics like soaps, toothpaste and makeup.

The product is super cheap to produce as it produces up to nine times more oil per hectare than its closest counterpart, and according to Harvard Health Publishing, it became popular in 2006 when the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration)… Read the full story

In very tiny doses, jealousy can be healthy in a relationship.

It could help motivate you to be a better partner (again, only if expressed and dealt with correctly) and acts as a detector of certain red flags if you know you’re not an overly jealous partner normally.

When jealousy becomes a common theme in your relationship or breeds controlling and manipulative behaviours, though, it’s toxic.

Even worse when the jealous person is feeling that way about something that happened in their partner’s past.

This is called retroactive jealousy, and is an obsessive behaviour pattern that involves worrying about and… Read the full story
