    Karin Michels, who is an adjunct professor of epidemiology at Harvard, says coconut oil is not healthy, calling it "poison" at least twice in a widely-circulated video, and "one of the worst foods" she can name.https://usat.ly/2LmO5rW

        What nonsense. Saturated fats cause heart disease? That's dinosaur thinking at this point. Harvard funded by Unilever, a vegetable oil company--maybe why they can't move on

        Exactly. Though, I do wonder sometimes if this is really a "Unilever" angle OR if this is people still holding onto the belief that "the Easter Bunny is real?"

        The proof is that every person in history that has been stranded on a tropical island only to live off coconuts eventually died.

        In India people think that, coconut oil is best among all so price is also high in the market. Is it really true !🤷 What to say! Sounds weird.

        She is most probably being paid by big food corporations to push this propoganda against coconut oil.

        We in south India have used this poison daily for cooking our food, as hair oil, as massage oil and moisturizer for centuries. Anyway, we haven't died yet. ..and people seem to be living till their 80s and 90s. Guess we were plain Lucky :)
