The good news is this will relieve market pressure on coconut oil. The bad news is sheeple will suffer.

I posted quite a lengthy response to the Medium website, mentioning Jonathan S Christie and Dr Mary Enig (lipid biochemist) - and that omega 3 to omega 6 ratio should be under 1:4 to reduce inflammation. I also stated that it is difficult to get too much omega 6 from whole foods, but easy if it is the oil extracted from those foods. I did not mention the process of hydrogenation, but did mention that before the hydrogenated oils and margarines were introduced to the US food supply in 1911 deaths from heart attack were under 10% but increased significantly thereafter.

Consumption of saturated fats from butter and coconut oil fell as the new 'heart healthy 'oils were promoted and saturated fats were vilified.

I said that we had obviously taken a wrong step - and IF saturated fats should be minimised it may have made more sense to use olive oil rather than omega 6 oil.

I do not believe saturated fats cause illness - unless they in products from CAFO animals.

I believe that coconut oil is a lifesaver no matter what they say against it
