Superfood? Not Really….Coconut Oil Is Poison To Your Body And Heart

The trend of using coconut oil to cook has been termed as cooking with “pure poison”, claims one expert. In fact, the Harvard professor even says you’d be better off cooking with fat.Dr Karin Michels this week said that the supposed “superfood” is “one of the worst foods you can eat”. Lots of people choose to cook with coconut oil instead of butter or vegetable oil because of it’s high count of polyunsaturated fats. Dr Michels has said cooking with coconut oil is more dangerous than cooking with animal fats. “There isn’t one human study that has found a positive outcome from coconut oil,” she told an audience at the University of Freiburg.The problem, she said, was the damaging effect that the oil’s high levels of saturated fatty acids can have on the body. Other foods high in saturated fat include things like butter, cream, and sausages.Photo Credit: Getty
