- A Harvard professor is pushing back on the health claims made by those who promote the use of coconut oil, calling it "pure poison."
- The professor, Dr. Karin Michels, says the saturated fatty acids in coconut oil make it dangerous to consume, and that it could cause serious health problems.
- Research regarding how fats are used by the body has gained a lot of attention in recent years, with many promoting certain types of fats as vital to a healthy human diet.
Criticisms of the "Standard American Diet" (SAD, for short) have grown louder and louder in recent years. The old, long outdated food pyramid that many of us were taught in school turned out to be just plain wrong, and it turns out that no, humans aren't supposed to gorge themselves on bread and pasta all day long.
With new research popping up all the time, it's becoming increasingly clear that loading up on carbs is a bad thing, and a diet rich in whole foods, meats, and healthy fats may ultimately be not just healthy, but also beneficial in the treatment of various types of sickness. That being said, not everyone is on board with some of the new foods and ingredients being hailed for their potential to make us healthier, and coconut oil has been taken down a peg by a Harvard professor who says it's "pure poison."
