It could be wrong
and it would be a good question for Dr. Agatson. Makers Diet has
come out with the new information on coconut oil and makes it a part
of their diet and then there is the “The Coconut Diet” book out.
What you are saying is what they maintain was part of the bad rap the
oil was given but that will take time to correct. It is only the
virgin coconut oil that is naturally processed that is good. The
medical field is cautious and reactionary, as I’m sure Dr. Agatson
would be the first one to agree on that. He has been a real
activator in making changes but sure it was not that easy for him.
I am just starting to use the Olive Oil now with the start of this
diet though I have known how healthy it was for many years. I just
didn’t like the taste but am forcing myself to overcome that. I
should try the macadamia nut for I never have.
Forgive me for posting so quickly as I did. I just related very much
to someone who has a family with a genetic leaning to something that
you have to live with from year to year. My grandmother died when
she was 42, my Aunt when she was 48 and my Mother at 56, with kidney
failure.
I have lived thinking will this year be the last since I was 2l! But
it caused me to be very health concious all my life actually and
probably that is not a bad thing. I am now 74 actually but people
think I am 54 for I don’t show my age and the Doctor says my blood
profile checks out better than most people in their 50s. But I do
have a weight problem that would be oh so much worse if I didn’t
watch myself closely. And am planning to stick to the South Beach
rules for I have seen how well it has worked for friends….
