News flash: Carrots as unhealthy as Spinach!
Okay, seriously. No health benefit to coconut oil? I thought lauric acid, which is half of what's in coconut oil, is antimicrobial which sounds like a healthy thing to me. Also yes, saturated fat does raise LDL by making small dense particles "big and fluffy" which might be better so far as disease risk is concerned. Saturated fat also raises HDL, the one people generally like to see be high. And the usual nothing-to-see-here-folks-move-on old time belief high LDL was supposed to cause heart disease. Plus safflower oil being promoted as a "healthy" vegetable fat. Olive oil, yes. Safflower oil? Yikes! Somebody please pass the coconut oil!
