He published a study about different countries that made it look like heart disease<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">was associated with fat intake. But the truth was that he started out with 22 countries and just tossed out the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">ones that did not fit his hypothesis! When other researchers analyzed his data using all the original countries, the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">link between fat and heart disease totally vanished. Keys were a fraud.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Popularity of coconut oil and the meat or kernel, for some reason has resurged during the past few years and its<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">health and other benefits to mankind have been exemplified.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">In fact, Bruce Fife Naturopathic doctor living in Philippines, the pioneer producer of Virgin coconut oil states that <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">recently Scientists have discovered a powerful new weapon against heart disease. As surprising as it may seem, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">this new weapon is coconut oil. Yes, ordinary coconut oil. Eating coconut oil on a regular basis can reduce your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">chances of suffering a heart attack!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">So, the second bout of attack has started by journalists for their survival and gain. Recently in the USA Today <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">appeared an article, \u201ccoconut Oil Isn\u2019t Healthy. It\u2019s never been Healthy\u201d This claim is on the assumption that<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">saturated fats in certain foods cause heart disease and not the unsaturated fats. We are beginning to understand<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">that low fat and low-cholesterol diets do not seem to be the answer to avoid heart disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">It is known that many on low fat and low cholesterol diets have had heart attacks, and in fact 60 percent of cases<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">who have had heart disease have low cholesterol levels in their blood. Multiple studies in the recent past have<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">shown that saturated fats are not linked to heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">It was the American heart Association that gave the bad advice for years that saturated fats cause heart disease<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">and recommended to go on a low-fat diet and to eat as much carbs as possible. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">According to Prof Ranil Jayawardena, coconut oil consumption significantly increases cholesterol LDL (bad <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">cholesterol) and HDL -good cholesterol. That is true. But is the LDL cholesterol in coconut oil a risk factor for <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">cardiovascular episodes when it is used little daily?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Eating fatty foods with high carbs seems to be the real culprit for heart disease and other noncommunicable<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">diseases.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">It is observed that the Sri Lankan women, including the domestics use little coconut oil in their daily cooking. For <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">temporizing and for frying they restrict the oil usage to 2-3 tablespoons of oil. This has been shown to benefit<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">weight, reduce belly fat and improve other health markers.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Eating 2 tablespoons (30ml) of coconut oil per day is a reasonable amount that leaves room for other healthy fats<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">in your diet like olive oil, and there seem to be no risks for cardiovascular episodes and there are more health<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">benefits.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Coconut oil is popular in several trending diets including ketogenic and Paleo diets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Coconut oil though a mainly saturated fat contains no cholesterol, and only traces of vitamins, minerals, and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">plant sterols.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">In another onslaught coconut oil is labeled as \u2018pure poison \u2018by a Harvard professor Karin Michel.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">She says, \u201cI can only warn you urgently about coconut oil, this is one of the worst foods you can eat\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Epidemiological studies find that groups of people who include coconut as part of their natives diets e.g. India,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Philippines, Polynesia, Thailand, and other Pacific basin islands have low rates of cardiovascular diseases<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">compared to the people in the Western world who do not include coconut in their diets have much a high risk of<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">cardiovascular disease. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Cardiovascular diseases are the number 1 cause of death globally, and most of those cases have never eaten <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">foods prepared with coconut oil. There are so many other factors as described earlier and the causes are <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">multifaceted.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">The bottom line is that Sri Lankans and other Asians including Polynesians and other countries along the tropical <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">belt, do use small amounts of coconut oil in the cooking processes, and though it has high levels of LDL bad <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">cholesterol, more than even butter should not be considered a risk factor for heart disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">It is true that coconut oil being a saturated fat will raise the bad cholesterol in your blood, but test of time for<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">centuries have shown us that the risk of cardiovascular disease no higher than those who do not use coconuts in<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">their diets.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">The only tree that was destroyed or uprooted during tsunami in 2004, in Sri Lanka was the coconut tree that<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">provided the inhabitants with shelter and the main ingredient in their cuisines, a blessing.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Those swaying palms are giving us a positive message. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">So, do not feel guilty, eat coconut in any form in your daily diet, as test of time has proved it is not a risk factor for <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">heart disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Hope this video talk was useful.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #120542;\">Take care and goodbye for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Disclaimer:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>The information contained in this article is for general information purposes only, and whilst the author will endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct, eLanka makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the eLanka website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained in this article for any purpose.
