Purpose: The purpose of this study is to learn the effect of food products that contain palm oil, which is used as fast food by the teenagers. Material and Methods: Glucometer for measuring of concentration of glucose in the blood, scales for measuring the weight of teenagers students, 100 students (50 boys and 50 girls), foods that contains palm oil. Annually measurement of body weight comparing to the previous weight, and the glucose is tested at the beginning and in the end of the study.

The glucose concentrated in blood at the beginning of the research was 5.2 mmol/l and at the end of the study was 5.9 mmol/. Out of the total of 100 students, at the beginning of the study on 98 students the glucose test showed normal parameters and in 2 students the glucose was in limit of increasing the concentration in the blood. At the end of the study the glucose test from 100 students to 86 were with normal parameters, to the 12 students was in the limit and to 2 students we had glucose value over the limit.
