Message: <blockquote data-quote="bulkbiker" data-source="post: 1873357" data-attributes="member: 219467">[USER=365495]@ghost_whistler[/USER]I assume you are referring to this article?<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1pk5mWmJXvTQLZYWpN431mW/is-coconut-oil-good-or-bad-for-your-cholesterol" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1pk5mWmJXvTQLZYWpN431mW/is-coconut-oil-good-or-bad-for-your-cholesterol</a>It is so much easier if you publish a link...I quote from it"There are 2 different types of cholesterol which have opposite health implications.LDL cholesterol is so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol, linked with increased risk of heart disease and stroke.HDL cholesterol is ‘good’ cholesterol, thought to be beneficial because it carries away LDL from the blood stream."The conclusion that"For butter, study participants had an average increase in LDL cholesterol by 0.3 millimoles per litre, representing a rise of around 10%. The increased risk to heart health reverted back again once the regime was stopped."Is quite astounding.. Apart from the incorrect use of language of "reverted back" (sic).There is no report of follow up anyway so how do they know the LDL levels "reverted back"?Also I note from the video clip.. the people taking the olive oil and coconut oil were drinking it.. either "naked" or in coffee.. the butter group were spreading it on ... yep you guessed it .. Bread!Edit to add  it does seem to contradict the Harvard Prof who recently said that coconut oil was "poison" though..So far as I can see no-one died from ingesting coconut oil.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
