| Gasp, now they're sayin Coconut Oil is not healthy if consumed. Click on the link below for video. Coconut oil is about as healthy as beef fat or butter Coconut oil is about as healthy as beef fat or butter The American Heart Association recently released a report advising against the use of coconut oil. The Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease advisory reviewed existing data on saturated fat, showing coconut oil increased LDL ("bad") cholesterol in seven out of seven controlled trials. Researchers didn't see a difference between coconut oil and other oils high in saturated fat, like butter, beef fat and palm oil. In fact, 82% of the fat in coconut oil is saturated, according to the data — far beyond butter (63%), beef fat (50%) and pork lard (39%). "Because coconut oil increases LDL cholesterol, a cause of CVD [cardiovascular disease], and has no known offsetting favorable effects, we advise against the use of coconut oil," the American Heart Association said in the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease advisory. Frank Sacks, lead author on the report, said he has no idea why people think coconut oil is healthy. It's almost 100% fat. Past weight loss studies might be responsible. “The reason coconut oil is so popular for weight loss is partly due to my research on medium chain triglycerides," Marie-Pierre St-Onge, associate professor of nutritional medicine at Cornell University Medical School, told TIME in April. "Coconut oil has a higher proportion of medium-chain triglycerides than most other fats or oils, and my research showed eating medium-chain triglycerides may increase the rate of metabolism more than eating long-chain triglycerides.” The problem is St-Onge's research used a "designer oil" packed with 100% MCTs. Traditional coconut oil only contains about 13 to 15%. Another study she published showed smaller doses of MCTs doesn't help with weight loss in overweight adolescents. The AHA recommends eating no more than 6% of saturated fat as part of total daily calories for those who need lower cholesterol. Before you trash your coconut oil, know that saturated fat is a loaded term. While the AHA warns against it, people who cut saturated fat out of their diet might not necessarily lower their heart disease risk, a 2015 BMJ review suggested. That's because some people fill the void with sugar, white flour and empty calories. Also, some fat is important to help bodies absorb nutrients from other foods. Many have said butter has gotten a bad reputation. Still, it might not be a bad idea to opt for vegetable oils or olive oil, Stacks said. Plus, coconut oil can still be an effective moisturizer or hair conditioner. "You can put it on your body, but don’t put it in your body," Sacks said.

| It seems like one day something is good and the next day it's bad.

| I was warned when I went to the DR on vacations that a problem would occur from eating the food. They were right in that respect the Dominicans use coconut oil to cook their food and food goes through quickly as a result. I still would bet it's better then using margarine.

| Fist oil can cause prostate issues in males.

| Reading so many conflicting opinions on this subject...moderation is key. Alls I know, coconut oil is AMAZING for the skin & hair...it also removes warts! Momo had one (confirmed by vet & had it removed bc he scared me by saying it might spread, also said it might come back & it did ) on his lower back. One day, it was getting bigger, so I rubbed some coconut oil on it daily...it started shrinking & lifting up from the skin until there was only a little tag left & magically fell off in about a week! Wart never came back.

| I think this pertains to human males? Besides, most male doggies are neutered to avoid prostate related problems. From what I've learned...for people, plant based oil is good & for dogs, protein based oil is good.

| Generally males don't have prostate issues after being neutered but I think I would want more studies done on how or if fish oil can effect male dogs prostate before giving any to my boy but he doesn't need it anyway he is a healthy guy with beautiful hair.

There's been lots of studies done on fish oil & it's benefits (for people & dogs)...vet actually recommended it for Momo. I'm sure, just like w/ coconut oil, moderation is key & like I mentioned above, make sure it comes from small fish, like sardines & anchovies, also tested for purity...I only give them a few drops once a day w/ their meal. It's not a continuous thing, will give if I have a good one to try (which I also linked above ). https://draxe.com/fish-oil-benefits-health/ https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/is...s_20600-1.html
