'Coconut Is Pure Poison' (Harvard Professor)

‘…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…’

I’ve seen that video of Dr. Eades. Good information.
I think the name of the fatty acid that you are referring to is linoleic acid. That is the one that Eade believes is stimulating obesity.

As to Dr. Michels’ comments, she is still presenting all of the crap science that fattened us all up (and killed us) for the last 40 years. She needs to get a new set of facts before embarrassing herself again on the world stage.

heh. Now that would be direct to blood stream ;-)

*** all these latest nutrition fads and claims from the “professors” are certified hogwash.***

I agree. Sixty years ago the fad was extra gluten in all breads! Now it is “gluten free” everything.

Our previous doctor believed in the “food pyramid” which would have led my type2
diabetes husband to an early grave. We have a new doctor now.

[trisham]

She’s receiving plenty of publicity now. It will probably be a boost to her career.

[Secret Agent Man]

So wrong.

[dfwgator]

She’s against Coconut because one dropped on her head when she was at the beach

"HAHAHA That girl got hit in the head with a coconut!"

[Bigg Red]

Lard does not “clog” the arteries.

[Mr. K]

Hold some in your hand, it will melt.

If it will melt at body temperature how can it clog your arteries?

I think they just want to keep it all to themselves.

[Nifster]

I love sno balls

[higgmeister]

Vindication for me. I hate Coconut.

[Rebelbase]

I had a dog once that could strip a coconut out of it’s husk, puncture the eyes, drink the milk then crack the shell open and eat the meat.

[dfwgator]

What if you put the lime in it?

[Bigg Red]

“S’mores” is the correct spelling. Probably a playful contraction of “I want some more”.

[DannyTN]

Thanks for the spelling correction.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too. She’s 40 years behind the times and the science.

Virgin first press coconut oil, help to make my case of the shingles a very mild one. I shared this information with two family members who also came down with shingles and the result was the same.

Wash the infected area with the oil. Do not use soap. Ingest a table spoon of it a day (I mixed it into oatmeal and yogurt) and take 5000mg of vitamin C a day until it clears up.

The "poison" didn't kill me, it helped cure me.

[CaptainK]

I forgot to add, get a prescription from your Doctor for Valtrex as soon as you see the first shingle.

IDIOCRACY PING!!!

Tell that the all the Asia pacific societies that are alive well and cancer free. She must have stock in Soy Beans
