Coconut oil

What an ugly thing to say... Journalists, newspapers, websites and bloggers talking garbage about Coconut Oil without even looking for backing, biochemical, clinical and scientific evidence for what they say?

And then they don't want us to think that there are people out there selling out to the Disease Industry and therefore writing what they tell them to, without any commitment to what is true and healthy... How can they lay their heads on the pillow at night and sleep peacefully? In fact, will they have a “clear conscience” for long, knowing that they are sowing disinformation that could harm many? Or is it just biased ignorance, defending their own comfort zone?

Let's get to the facts:

✅ Coconut oil doesn't work miracles on its own, but it can be very beneficial, a real health ally, for those who have or maintain good lifestyle habits (I explain in detail here icaro.med.br/SAUDE) along with its use.

No supplement used on its own can produce good results, or maintain them.

Look at the curriculum vitae of those who give opinions: there are many people who aren't even health professionals issuing “categorical truths” about what they don't know.

✅ Those who really know how to work with coconut oil don't recommend it in isolation for weight loss. As I said and explained above (and in the link), it can help the process along with a better lifestyle, which I detail (and teach you how to do) here: icaro.med.br/SAUDE. If some people are wrong, it's because they're wrong and not because the substance itself is bad or useless. Generalizations are never helpful and are usually useless or harmful.

The understanding of “official bodies” 50 years ago was that cigarettes were generally so good that they should be prescribed by doctors for their patients; many even appeared smoking in commercials and even recommended “good brands”. We know this isn't true, and those who tried to say this at the time were rejected, ridiculed and belittled, but they weren't wrong. In other words, the “opinion” of “official bodies” is never infallible, it changes over time and must always be subjected to the test of common sense. Human beings fail, however well-intentioned they may be at times.

Coconut oil has a proven antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect “in vivo”, yes. The thing is, when some people don't accept or don't want to accept truths that are inconvenient for them, they jump to jargon like “there's no scientific proof”, when, in fact, what they mean is “I don't accept this proof”. In other words, history becomes history when adults act like children and deny reality in order to defend “other interests”.

In the past, coconut oil has been harshly criticized by various health professionals who have subsequently been identified as people acting as I explained above (denying evidence because they don't want to accept it) or people on the payroll of industries involved in the manufacture and marketing (and profits) of other oils, which are losing consumers. But, of course, this is just a “coincidence”, right?

There is evidence that coconut oil is useful for brain health. Again, for simplicity's sake, just search the internet and you'll see. But you can also study biochemistry and easily see how the components of coconut oil are beneficial to the functioning and recovery of brain cells (neurons and other support cells). Of course, I reiterate that coconut oil alone is no miracle worker. For its benefits to be reaped, the patient has to be doing their part too, in their lifestyle and in this: Icaro.med.br/SAUDE).

✅ You know when some health professionals, including doctors, make categorical statements like “it's useless”, “there's no scientific evidence”, “it has no therapeutic properties”? Watch out! It could be a conflict of interest: http://icaro.med.br/IndustriadaDoenca

Anyone who says that “HDL cholesterol is good and LDL is bad” no longer deserves your trust in terms of health. After all, there's no such thing! Lol - Understand: http://icaro.med.br/COLESTEROL

To say that saturated fats are bad for you is to put them all in the same boat, as if they were the same, and to show ignorance of basic biochemistry. After all, if a doctor is bad, do they all deserve suspicion? If a journalist is biased, are they all? Of course not.

✅ If coconut oil really can help treat various illnesses, along with the precautions I've linked to exhaustively above, who would be interested in denigrating it? Anyone who doesn't want you to improve your health with natural, accessible and widely beneficial products. After all, this way you stop consuming other products that generate profit and/or illnesses, which generate profit by making you a consumer, sometimes a chronic consumer, of medicines - http://icaro.med.br/remedios-nao-precisar

Comparing coconut oil generically to olive oil is like comparing tires to wedding dresses. What to compare? For what purposes (for example, no one should eat a lot of fried food, but olive oil already generates bad products after 40 degrees of heating, while coconut oil can “withstand” over 200 degrees without significant negative transformations)? Under what circumstances is it used? Use by which patients (clinical case, habits, examinations, ...)?

✅ Coconut oil worsens this, worsens that... By what mechanisms? Sometimes they don't explain because they don't know. Or because the truth is just the opposite.

Anyway. Share this text and let's bring more light to those who insist on believing “everything” they see in famous “news outlets”. After all, if “everyone has a price”, how much do they earn for publishing “certain stories”, even if they are harmful to the rest of the world? Commitment to the truth, even absolute commitment, I can only think of Jesus...
