The lecture that was titled ‘Coconut Oil and Nutritional Errors’ aware of the masses regarding the balanced diet and also explains that how coconut oil is not good for health. This super food become the subject of sheer controversy since American Heart Association (AHA) mentioned in its guidelines that people should avoid saturated fatty acids found in coconut oil.
Michels went a step further claiming coconut oil to be “pure poison” and being “one of the worst foods to eat”. No studies so far have shown significant health benefits from the consumption of this oil. The professor states that the saturated fatty acids found in oil can clot coronary arteries.
