There's also a huge push to discredit coconut oil lately because long ago when coconut oil became popular as a cooking grease for the first time it was always sold as this highly refined and extremely unhealthy bullshit in a grease tub, but if you buy carefully today you can find organic/unrefined/cold pressed/ etc. at wholefoods and get ripped off for 80 gorrillion dollars or like the fairly priced one costco sells.
it used to be tougher to find coconut oil that wasn't fucked around with, but all these shills are trying to tell everyone it's unhealthy based on past bullshit poison completely different than what's being sold now because big pharma is in a race to disinfo everyone out of eating healthy because a huge amount of people have made the change to healthier eating habits and that means less hospital/doctor/meds bills for all those people and way less profit for corporations.
You can just search for videos or a normal search "why coconut oil is bad" and you will find loads of shills presenting logical fallacies as fact and trying to convince everyone that it's shit. these are the same fuckers who are running around presenting all fats as 100% bad.
They argue that the fat from a fried greasy burger full of carcinogenic compounds is the same as eating some raw walnuts and almonds or some fresh avocado, because they want to demonize ALL fats since people finally started to understand what the bad fats are, like heated and refined fats and the typical fast food shit, or refined soybean oil and fake olive oil, eggs and so on. they know they lost that battle so they think they can trick everyone into not only quitting bad fats, but adding good fats to their blacklist so they miss out on healthy foods like coconut, avocado, nuts, seeds etc. also watch out for palm oil, that shit seems healthy but its bullshit and they aren't ever very clear about the product, it's expensive, and you don't see it being sold very much.
>inb4 shitstorm everybody just jump on top of me and flip out
I'm a vegan and I'm not trying to convert you or anything, but I eat a lot of nuts and seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, mostly raw and some things cooked. I love oats and I eat organic soy every once in a while but not very much because it has side effects if you overdo it. anyways I'm between skinnyfat and ottermode and my blood tests always come back fucking amazing with the best cholesterol stats HDL LDL that the doctor can even give me so I know that I'm doing things okay for me. I eat a Non-simple carb, high complex carb, high fiber, high raw fat, fruit and veggie diet and I personally do great with that.
It's really scary how the mainstream media and product advertising has brainwashed america into thinking "HOLY SHIT ALL FATS ARE BAD!" everything in the store is *sugar free* on the front and has a load of processed refined fats listed on the back or says *fat free! wow! gud chois!* on the front and has a ton of refined sugar and corn syrup listed on the back. I always eat whole plant based food that hasn't been processed except in rare cases like rolled oats (they get rolled to make them flat) and tofu (rarely) and unrefined coconut oil. I don't even eat peanut butter because it's always roasted. I would never eat a pecan pie but I would eat a bunch of raw pecans.
