The ingredient is viewed controversially for its environmental impact andfor being a potential carcinogen when heated at certain temperatures.The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) released a study that found when palm oil is processed at temperatures higher than 200°C, it releases a carcinogenic chemical called glycidyl fatty acid esters that has been found to cause tumors in rats and mice. The EFSA categorizes glycidyl fatty acid esters as a “potential health risk”.

Not good!!!
It has palm oil and sugar. It’s not a secret. It listed on the label. They did a great job marketing it. I drink Coke. It’s flavored sugar water. Am I shocked? No, it’s on the label. As with most sugary treats, practice a little moderation. If you are against the use of palm oil, buy something else.
