When I read most Gizmodo articles I can usually understand the math to some extent. This article went so far over my head I couldn't even hear the woosh.

I may have misunderstood the article (not the math, I didn't even try the math) but it came across to me like several academics having a normal, fairly polite back-and-forth and the writer trying to portray it as a knock-down drag-out like plate tectonics.

That paper, though. This is such a beautiful subject.

Well, Macron definitely said that - I heard it first on NPR, then looked up an article. Whether or not it becomes actual French policy remains to be seen.

Soundbite in nutrition this week is that coconut oil is as unhealthy for you as beef fat. Paleo and organic people have lost their sh-t, saying in effect, Big Canola paid for the study.

My response? Awww, poor little babies got their feelings hurt. How do you think it feels for people like me to sit and hear you say that everything I eat (gluten, grains, dairy, sugar, legumes) is unhealthy and I'm going to die a horrible death?
 
Re: Science: Vaccines Work, GMOs Are Safe, Everything is a Chemical

Doesn't coconut oil have a relatively high saturated fat content and what unsaturated fats it has tend to be monounsaturated fats?

Even lard, in all its porky deliciousness, has tons of monounsaturated fats and IINM, a fairly high polyunsaturated fat content as well?

So... duh?

Definitely duh. I just think it's amusing that all these Paleo followers (Dave Asprey especially) are upset about this study. This, coming from people who think it's okay to put butter in their morning coffee.

Speaking of butter in the coffee, some quick math. 1 tablespoon of butter (grass-fed or not) is 100 calories. Right or wrong, I drink 4-5 large cups of coffee a day. But the coffee is black, and at 20 calories a cup at most... that would be an extra 500 calories a day. Unnecessary.

I think anyone who puts butter in their coffee might be clinically insane. It's probably best to stop reading that kind of stuff. You clearly don't buy it and all it does is enrage you.

Let the morons part with their money and health. You do you.

And it still lowers the risk for dementia/Alzheimer's (at least for now), so do you want to go with a bad heart and know it, or go with a good heart without a clue of what's happening :D

As far as I'm concerned, coconut oil being as unhealthy as beef fat doesn't sound all that concerning. I'd be more concerned if the headline was that it is as unhealthy as sugar.
