Coconut Oil SLAMMED – Soybean Growers make a KILLING

If coconut oil is so good, why does it have a bad reputation?

The simple reason is MONEY and GREED.

Everybody knows coconut oil is a saturated fat. 

We are constantly told to reduce our saturated fat intake.

The words saturated fat have become almost synonymous with heart disease.

Very few people know the difference between the medium-chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil and the long-chain saturated fatty acids in meat and other foods.

To most people, saturated fat is saturated fat - an evil substance lurking in foods waiting for the opportunity to attack and strike you down with a heart attack.

The gap between the urgent threat of global warming and the collective will to do something about it has never been greater. The recently concluded Conference on Climate Change in Bali was a grand opportunity to act. Instead, it was another missed opportunity. Unfortunately, the United States played a very negative role, standing in the way of consensus at every turn. And unfortunately, the rest of the world thought that seducing the US into a new agreement on climate action was top priority, resulting in a Bali Roadmap that was very sketchy.
