Coconut oil is far from B'S . Best food stuff I have discovered. Filled with Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) – which are fatty acids that go straight to the liver and are a readily available source of prolonged energy.
Try a teaspoon in your coffee in a morning. You'll feel benefits ah tell thee.
Check out how many sports teams and people use it

And also has long chain fatty acids which are bad for you, nationalities that consume higher levels of coconut oil are more obese/have heart problems than nations that don't. Also there is evidence that it is detrimental to long term mental health issues such as Alzhiemers/Dementia.
I go by science not anecdata, basically it's snake oil, YMMV

Eh. The science is the exact opposite. It's been used in trials with good results in Alzhiemers. Also been proven to help weight lose. Which I can attest to personally. There's an island were the inhabitants get 60%of all calories from coconuts. 0 none nil incidents of heart disease.

You're wrong I'm afraid. No good evidence for it.

Anecdotal and not scientific. Some people swear blind empty sugar pills cured their cancer, it doesn't make it so.

If this is true, which I'd guess as not. It's called correlation, it does not equal causation.


Don't worry tho, there's many BS health fads out there, even sports teams get duped into some of them too.

Not really a fad when it's been used for hundreds of years. Sports teams etc always could but to be fair info is available from many places much easier these days and can be scientifically measured and quantified. When big sports teams all start going down the same route with their own doctors nutritionists all independent of each other go down same route it makes you wonder eh.

I spent winter chasing goals at gym. Hit 113kg. Dropped carbs but upped fats. Particularly coco oil. Now 105kg. Not done cardio work yet. 8 Kg dropped with a similar overall calorie intake. Carbs are gone which would explain a lot. But fats are well up to counter. Fats mostly being coconut oil. Been using coconut oil for several years now and I know the diff between something that works and something that doesnt
