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.
