Quote:

Are there any people who live on saturated fats who are healthy? Yes! People who live in tropical climates and who have a diet high in coconut oil are healthier, have less heart disease, cancer, colon problems and so on, than unsaturated fat eaters.

Here we go again. Isolating one factor among a myriad of other factors. What proof is there that this health benefit is derived from eating coconut oil. Could it not be due to the factor that there is an abundance of fruits and vegetables in the tropics. Could it not be due, rather, to the fact that their diet is not composed of fast food and frozen dinner entrees. Maybe it's what they DON'T eat as much as what they do eat.
