ranks much lower on the scale of saturated fats when compared to coconut oil.
To those here who are still undecided whether or not coconut oil is or is not
good for health, I have one suggestion: Cook all your food in coconut oil and
become a guinea pig for mankind. When you do have your heart attack, come visit
me and tell me about the rest of the story. Mervyn1389Lobo>>>>

 

RESPONSE : It is said :
“Fools learn nothing from wise men; wise men learn much from fools.” The reason
is very easy, given at the bottom. 

There is a
misconception spread that coconut oil is not good for the heart. This is
because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. However, coconut oil is
beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps in
preventing various heart problems including high cholesterol levels and high
blood pressure. The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as it
happens in case of other vegetables oils. It does not lead to increase in LDL
levels. It also reduces the incidence of injury in arteries and therefore helps
in preventing atherosclerosis.

Floriano is very right
in stating that the FDA is composed mainly of corrupt scientists serving
corporate interest. Millions of dollars are at stake and in this case it is US
marketed Palmolein oil. Regions of the west coast from Maharashtra to Malabar
have been only using coconut oil in cooking and consuming coconuts for
centuries. Mervyn  himself admits
in another post that he is a former farm labourer. Was he and his ancestors
using olive oil back in those times? A little of education and a new place and
higher salary never dreamt of, an a tinge egoism, gives one an impression of
having attained all that there is, including knowledge.
