#239 Coconut Oil Is Not Good For You?


Listen Later

The article points out (some of) the benefits and positive health effects of eating coconut oil yet, the conclusion remains "don't eat it, it's bad for you."

Huh?!?

Not quite sure we understand exactly what's at play, but you're probably as confused as we are...

Make no mistake about it; most fats are good for you including saturated fats. The research and data build a stronger and stronger case every with each new study. Yes, there are some, despite the openly clear evidence, that do not want to see what's right in front of their noses.

The purpose of this podcast is to try to untangle this horrible mess of an article while getting you to see the big picture of why fat (particularity saturated fat) should be a staple of your diet.

What we cover:
  • The most important concept Life By Design has developed and supported is the principle of requirements and strategies and it is the secret to solving this confusing and contradictory article.
  • Why fat, especially saturated fat, is an absolute must for your body.
  • Why you shouldn't listen to large government-funded agencies for any advice, let alone health care advice.
  • Our thoughts on why we think coconut oil and saturated fat are consistently being dumped on by popular media.
  • Our best attempt at trying to solve the non-sequitur conclusion of 'don't eat coconut oil' despite the authors admitting to some of the benefits of coconut and MCT oil.
