There also disadvantage of palm oil
1. It contains high cholesterol which can lead to heart problem
2. It can also reduce the risk of having some certain diseases compared to other vegetable oil that contain healthy fat but as long as we are not consuming too much of it I don't think it can have any side effects

Nice one, we take red palm oil but we do not take so much because of the high fat content, most of the time the main purpose which I use it is to sweeten the food I eat but I don't really put much interest in the nutritional value it offers to the body, my main concentration of nutrient is always on the type of food I am eating, just as you said if it is consumed in a larger amount it can be dangerous to the body because of the high fat content but if we take in a moderate manner I think it is one of the best ingredients ..
