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

Tennessee is sure full of super fat folks
Go to any Wallyworld
That one up on the mountain north of Chattanooga isnt too bad nor is the one near me in Campbells station in Wiilamson county
But the reason folks are fat is they heat more than they burn
Big gulp drinks etc
And take disability early and resell their pain meds script
Just lazy sponges quite a few of them with little self discipline
Thats what I observe here sadly

Excellent. Now let’s see him do that with the shell between the husk and the meat inside. “Anybody remember where I put my machete?” (Nonetheless, that was still pretty cool).

"...saturated fat in the diet (in the gut and stomach) do not magically make it into your bloodstream. the stomach wall and the intestinal lining are very smart semi permeable membranes...."Which is why I get diarrhea upon eating fatty foods.

Yet another nitwit “professor” proving beyond any doubt that he is a nitwit. Coconut poison? I guess that is why there are no people living in the south pacific...they all died from coconut poisoning.
