My dear Mervyn, You are right. That, indeed, is the advice.
However, have you ever wondered IF and WHY folks who inhabited Goan villages and the Islands of the East and West Indies, lived fairly long lives despite having a diet that was full of coconut? There is also an argument put forth about the type of MCTs found in coconut oil. Not being a coconutologist, I will skip comment on that except to say that : surely, coconut is not worse than animal fat. IF you agree, WHY is it that all the organizations listed, are NOT placing the same 'advisory' on Red Meats, Stress, Cow's Milk, Butter and ' couch potatoness'....... + wars and extra- marital affairs? BTW: if we concede that Floriano has every right to do just the opposite of what is being advised by these organizations, AND if we are in a position to conclude that Floriano is doing just that + will not change his mind, WHY are we still trying to 'convert' him? jc On May 12, 2012, at 9:11 PM, Mervyn Lobo <mervynal...@yahoo.ca> wrote: > floriano wrote: >> Sometimes, I do tend to think that you knowledgeable guys are full of >> 'shit' in CAPITAL LETTERS. > > ---------------------------------------------- > > > floriano, > Coconut oil contains saturated fat. > > > The United States Food and Drug Administration, World Health Organization, > International College of Nutrition, United States Department of Health and > Human Services, American Dietetic Association, American Heart Association, > British National Health Service and Dietitians of Canada recommend limiting > the consumption of significant amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels > of saturated fat. > > > Now, if you want to do the opposite, there is no one to stop you.
