Why are MD's so misinformed?

[Guest guest]

Hello Bee,

I had an appointment with my GP today to go over routine blood work.

During my appointment I asked her for her point of view on coconut oil

and she told me to NEVER ingest it - that it would lead to hardening

of the arteries and heart disease. Why is this? Why is the medical

community so ignorant about nutrition? She told me that the best oil

to use is Canola oil. Can you believe it? I mean, what are they

teaching the docs at medical school? I am astonished that doctors,

being intelligent individuals, follow the " system " with such big

blinders on. Don't they do research on their own or do they just

believe everything that is fed to them by the AMA and the FDA. I am

saddened by what is happening to this country in terms of our medical

community and agriculture industry. What is to become of future

generations if they think that processed, low fat, and artificial

sweeteners are good? Yikes!!!
