‘Coconut oil a killer’ warning

-

COCONUT oil is “pure poison”, according to a top doc.

Harvard professor Karin Michels warned that its high levels of saturated fat, known to raise levels of the LDL cholestero­l, can increase the risk of cardiovasc­ular disease.

She slated it during a lecture at a Germany university, branding it “one of the worst things you can eat” and as good for you as “pure poison”.
