‘…During the lecture, titled "Coconut Oil and other Nutritional Errors," Karin Michels has made herself very clear with regard to dietary recommendations, and underlined that coconut oil is not healthy. Its superfood status had already come under scrutiny last year after the American Heart Association (AHA) updated its guidelines, which recommended that people avoid the saturated fatty acids found in coconut oil. Michels went a step further than to recommend avoiding the foodstuff, saying "coconut oil is pure poison" and "is one of the worst foods you can eat." There's no study showing significant health benefits to coconut-oil consumption. And, according to Michels, coconut oil is more dangerous than lard because it almost exclusively contains saturated fatty acids, ones that can clog the coronary arteries. You can identify fats that contain large quantities of saturated fatty acids by checking to see whether they remain solid at room temperature, as is the case with butter or lard…’

Thank you.
The contemporary western adult diet is a mixture of many of these, 2 to 3 times a day. Almighty God must’ve created something inside the human digestive system to counteract the long term harm we could be doing to our bodies. Clearly a ‘fried’ everything diet with sodas and hard alcohol takes a toll on our well being.
My wife approves.
“I love sno balls”
I once ate a dozen and got a stomach ache—that proves coconut is poison!
I KNOW COCONUT OIL IS POWERFUL BUT AN ANTIDOTE FOR POISON?
It might be premature to call coconut oil an antidote for poison, but a 2005 incident in Iran certainly suggests it may have something to offer.
Hospital officials there reported of a young man who had attempted suicide by ingesting the pesticide aluminium phosphide. Upon admittance to the hospital, he was experiencing severe indications of toxicity and given several counteractive substances, including charcoal, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium sulphate, and coconut oil.
The result? He survived, and coconut oil, while probably not deserving of all the credit, was labeled as an important part of the protocol.
While I certainly wouldn’t solely rely on coconut oil as an antidote for poison, it is interesting to see it mentioned as such....

The old steam engine phrase, Going "balls to the wall," is another way to describe such an extreme dietary lifestyle. Until science comes up with a better steam engine, moderation should be the governor.
They told us coconut oil would give us heart attacks and foisted margarine upon us. Margarine isn’t even food.
That/those, too, are a perfect pairing.
This is FDA/AMA disinformation, to protect favored parmeceutical industries, to disfavor natural (unpatentable) remedies, and to discourage independent ownership of one’s own health.
The original slander against coconut oil in the 80s was sponsored by the ASA: American Soy Association. Theaters and others stopped using coconut oil, and switched to soy oil, a waste by-product that the ASA wanted to exploit.
Regardless of the health benefits - which I have enjoyed immensely - coconut oil is inarguably the most stable and least prone to rancidity. It is the only one I use for cooking.
Rancid PUFAs from processed vegetable oils - such as in soy, rapeseed, even olive to a lesser extent - cause free radical damage to the arteries, which stable coconut oil does not.
Saturated fatty acids (”saturated fats” do not exist per se), like cholesterol levels, are red herrings, blamed for conditions primarily caused by other dietary and fitness factors. (Vegans who consume zero cholesterol may have high levels; most is made by the body.)
If you really want to consume PUFA oils, get minimally refined, and very fresh, and keep them in the freezer.
Well said. I am a nutritionist, and I say, well said.
I’ve heard that before haha. Snickers S’mores aren’t bad either but nothing compared to Mound S’mores.
The kind that takes me three days to make?
Or is it the yellow cake from a box smeared with sugared Crisco and topped with coconut flakes from a package?
