so Harvard professor has come out and said that coconut oil is supposedly pure
poison so obviously this is caused a bit of controversy on the Internet as you
would expect so I'm gonna go over a points that this professor made and
debunk them because this this really isn't true and it's not correct and it's
something that has been debunked multiple times over the last few years
so I think that it deserves more airtime just to shed some clarity on it I
believe that it was last year that the American Heart Association also made the
claim that the statement that coconut oil is something you should be trying to
minimize and you diet so this again was head back with a lot of backlash from
people of course in the Paleo and the Kido genic community and other omnivores
in general and overall this topic coconut oil being oil which is which has
a lot of saturated fat is something which is back and forth in the
nutritional world just like eggs many people are in the believe have the
belief that it's extremely bad for you and other people think that it's God's
gift to the earth so coconut oil just like eggs are very controversial in the
sense so there are many different kinds of fat that we have in the diet the main
three that you're going to hear about they're going to be saturated fats
monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats so animal products tend to be
higher in saturated fats such as meat and eggs and coconut oil which is an
animal product and all of all avocados that the center behind monounsaturated
fats and and seeds and nuts and oils from these seeds like soybean oil tend
to behind polyunsaturated fats but most foods obviously have a mixture of all
three or two and whether a food is a saturated fat monounsaturated or
polyunsaturated fat is dictated by which fat dominates the fat ratio of that food
for example avocados are mostly monounsaturated fat therefore the seen
as a source of monounsaturated fat but coconut oil in specific is demonized by
those who think that saturated fat is unhealthy because it's pretty much got
the highest set rate of fat content when compared to other oils in fat
sources like lard or butter so a lot of times in places like YouTube especially
vegans for example who want to make saturated fat out to be really unhealthy
will cherry-pick evidence and by the way some of them describe the evidence on
saturated fat it almost seems like this there are no studies in existence which
show that there's no correlation between saturated fat intake and heart disease
but the truth is is that there are 17 systematic reviews and meta-analyses
which show that there's no clear a link between things like heart disease and
other diseases that cause an early death and saturated fat now in the world of
science funding is a big problem and funding bias for example many people
will say that when a study shows that there's no link between disease and
dairy many times these studies are funded by the dairy industry or for eggs
are funded by the egg industry and because of this many people will
discredit positive results between dairy and eggs and health because of this
funding and this could certainly be a possibility who knows but there's no way
to conclusively you know know this and accept that a study is flawed when it's
funded by someone because in general these studies a peer-reviewed meaning
it's not like the the industry that's funding them pays for it and it's put
out there by selected few scientists it's peer reviewed and it's looked at by
other people through an objective and unbiased lens so I bring up this point
because the American Heart Association which make it very clear that coconut
oil is supposedly unhealthy funded by you know companies which have a lot of
sugar in their products like Nestle for example or the coca-cola company now
this are like really important to understand and that's the effects that
something like saturated fat or any food product for that matter has on risk
factors as opposed to the actual disease that we worried about all mortality
death so that's something to keep in mind here because there are some links
between saturated fat and unfavorable changes to cholesterol for example in
the body but you know when you look at the effect that coconut oil saturated
fats these sorts of foods have on something like heart disease and there
really is any conclusive evidence that it's
causative of it simply that there might be a relationship to it like people who
consume more saturated fat in some studies maybe a more risk for heart
disease or an early death but this could be simply be due to the fact that people
in general who consume more saturated fat are consuming food products which
are more unhealthy which are higher and hydrogenated trans fats which overall
consume more calories or they smoke so many of these studies which seem to
point toward saturated fat being causative of an early death just
correlative because I don't take into account and control for other variables
which have a significant impact on people's health so these meta-analysis
of observational studies have reported no significant associations between
saturated fat intake and risk of coronary heart disease stroke or
cardiovascular disease in general now you're going to have many people point
to studies where they replace saturated fat with omega-3 and omega-6 and that
replacement decreased the risk for heart disease but then we also have other
studies which show that when you replace the saturated fats with just omega-6
which are known to be inflammatory and highly prone to lipid peroxidation and
those circumstances the risk for heart disease actually increased so there's
there are very subtle distinctions that have to be made here before you make the
conclusion that you should be swapping all your saturated fat intake out for
polyunsaturated fat intake you know overall whether you consume some coconut
oil or other sources of saturated fat isn't the biggest deal in the world what
you should be focusing on is your overall diet and lifestyle you know
there are big effectors to worry about instead of a tablespoon of coconut oil
that you may be putting in your food for the date the the biggest factors that
you should be primarily focusing on there's your overall weight overall
calorie intake and expenditure how much you're exercising these sort of factors
are gonna faster pass any sort of potential risk that a tablespoon of
coconut oil would with cause and there are other things to consider as well
like there have been shown to be positive correlations between saturated
fat and monounsaturated fat and testosterone while polyunsaturated fats
have an inverse relationship with testosterone with
that an eight week study looking at resistance train males following a
ketogenic diet experienced an increase in testosterone and that could possibly
be because of that increase in saturated fat intake so there are a number of
factors to consider here and you shouldn't start to get worried about
consuming a bit of coconut oil or consuming animal products that have some
saturated fat and if you're loving an overall healthy lifestyle don't get
mislead by articles like this that say coconut oil is poison and don't psyche
getting scared that having a tablespoon of it is going to cause detrimental
effects on your health you know the primary thing you should be worrying
about is the overall amount of food that you're in taking whether your health is
improving whether you feel good and also going and getting a blood work done at
the doctor's if you can afford that if that's available to you and seeing how
your body is actually responding to the diet that your your you're giving it
because you know we're all gonna respond to food differently some people are
going to have genetic sensitivities to saturated fat and even dietary
cholesterol people with something called the apoe4 gene so that's in the minority
but we're all different so it's not okay to make a statement like coconut oil is
poison therefore everybody should be decreasing the consumption of it it's
not as simple as that so hopefully you guys enjoy this video leave your
