You have to go back to the start of the fight against cancer and obesity. See the goverment had a study on obesity way back. The finding turned out that sugar was bad for you health and cause obesity. Not sure of date but there was even a bill trying to limit sugar in food in our government. But because this industry was such a large money maker for the government and that many in government officials had been invested in sugar that bill was blocked. Then the sugar industry with the help of media came out with a fake study saying saturated fats are bad not sugar. Because of this you now see so many low fat foods with high sugar content in them.
- Bottom line if fat are a good part of your diet
- Do not trust the meida to tell you the truth because there getting paid to lie to you
- Limit the amout of sugar you intake because it feeds canser cells and causes obesity.
- No low fat garbage.
This is sad but true...
@sweetpea the article that you quote is based on information distributed by the American Heart Association. I'm sure if we do a little research, we'll find that they are sponsored by one or more large food manufacturing companies that will suffer from the increased popularity of coconut oil. I'm guessing in this case that it is probably a diary company that is losing profit and wants the American people to stick to what they know: butter and or spreads made from animal product.
If you haven't seen it yet, I recommended to watch 'What The Health'. It's a documentary that is uncovering how food companies sponsor health associations and thus prevent them from providing any advice that might compromise their profits. You can find it on Netflix.
