Re: Dr. Philip Chua's comment about coconut oil

[Guest guest]

If the " Doctor " sys coconut oil contains cholesterol, I would not

bother reading anything her had to say about anything dietary. The

man is an idiot. CHeck out the USDA food database for coconut oil:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/cgi-bin/list_nut_edit.pl

100 gferams of cocnut oil contains ZERO mg of cholesterol. If the

" doctor " does not know that, he is either a fool, or is being

malicious.

I just got information this pm that he is also going the rounds of hospitals

here in the Philippines saying the Coconut Oil has cholesterol. We will check

on him. He is American trained and a lot of people are saying that this must be

part of the negative campaign again on coconuts. They say his trips are funded

by the Soya Bean Industry.

He says no such thing! In fact, he says that coconut oil has " zero

cholesterol. " Here is what the article says:

<<Here is a list of the most commonly found ones on the grocery shelves,

including the calories (cal), fat contents in grams (F), saturated fat in

grams (SF), cholesterol (Ch), per tablespoonful:

• canola cal –121, F 13.6, SF – 1;

• coconut cal – 118, F – 13.6, SF – 11.8;

• corn cal – 121, F – 13.6, SF – 1.7;

• olive cal – 119, F – 13.5, SF – 1.8;

• peanut cal – 119, F – 13.5, SF – 2.3;

• soybean cal – 121, F – 13.6, SF – 2.0;

• palm cal – 121, F – 13.6, SF – 6.7.

All of these have zero cholesterol and sodium.

Canola has the lowest saturated fat content and coconut, the highest.

One coconut has about 1,349 calories and 127.7 grams of fat, 113 saturated

fats and 76 mg. of sodium.

Eating a lot of coconut oil or food items made of, or with, coconut, is not

really healthy. Our choice for cooking oil is, of course, canola oil.>>

My question is

Nina WHY ARE YOU EVEN ON THIS LIST?

Jeanne,

I think she was quoting Dr. Chua in the article, not expressing her

own sentiments.

Dr. Chua states the following:

" LOSING weight on a diet that is high in fat is dangerous for overall

health.

The risk of coronary heart disease has been found to be significantly

increased among those individuals who stayed on a high protein red meat diet

to lose weight.

While these subjects became slimmer, their cholesterol levels were high,

leading to a higher rate of heart attacks. "

All of these statements are false! But the food and drug industry want the

public to believe these falsehoods. Studies with low-carb diets high in fat

have repeatedly shown to give better cholesterol readings than low-fat

diets. Plus their overall health IMPROVES. People on therapeutic diets which

are extremely high in fat (90% of total calories) mostly from saturated fat

and cholesterol from meat and dairy and maintain the diet for several years

experience no harmful effects on the heart, no plaque buildup in the

arteries, and no harmful effects whatsoever. They do get better blood sugar

control, better mental function, etc. You don't hear about this because it

goes against what is " politically correct " so it is never mentioned by the

promoters of the low-fat, anti-cholesterol industry and their friends in the

media.

Jeanne is correct. I wouldn't touch canola oil with a 10-foot pole.
