Hi everyone! I am back after a long absence from MFP and I thought I would check the forum to see if anyone had been commenting on the latest negative info on coconut oil by a Harvard professor. Any discussion pro or con discussions would be appreciated since I haven't found anyone to debate it by googling. Thanks so much!

    I couldn't find the coconut blog, but I did find this blog about the new study that claims us low-carbers are going to die young...

    @memelizzy welcome back. Coconut and coconut oil is a major source of fat for me the last 4 years on Keto. This study seemed to be based on non keto carb levels so that is nothing I can take away from the results personally. I just know I love coconut and the health improvement over the last 4 years.
