Going nuts over coconuts?

[faridaro]

According to the video below - coconut oil (which I've been trying to incorporate into my diet lately) purportedly increases the absorption of endotoxins - bacterial inflammatory compounds. Would appreciate your opinions!

His name is Mike Mutzel - he is functional medicine consultant and expert on ketogenic diet (whatever it means).

I liked the liveliness of the discussion. Some specific comments (IMO):

Patrick P1: So wait the Association that makes millions putting its

stamp on high Carb foods like Coco puffs, is putting out opinion studies

that fat is bad? Self-preservation anyone? I am sure the AHA would love

to be class action sued for admitting they where wrong when they said

Fruit Loops was better at preventing Heart disease then Salmon and

Avacados.

Patrick P: I know you where not supporting the AHA I was just making a

general statement about how corrupt even the AHA is. I was never a

conspiracy theorist before but man you look at these institutions and

see who funds them and it is like, "Wait Bayer funds AHA? Don't they own

Monsanto and make medications that treat heart disease? Monsanto makes

veggie oil?" Is it really as shock the AHA wants us to believe a

chemical oil is healthier than a natural one?
