It's an evolutionary battle, and the humans are losing. Thomas Morton travels along as they search deep in the jungle, and deep underground, for the life-saving drugs we so desperately need. 'Indonesia's Palm Bomb'-Palm oil is used in almost all of the foods we eat and most of our household products: everything from packaged bread and cookies to toothpaste and soap.
