The advertisement pointed out that eating more coconut oil can lose weight and even clean up blood lipids! In addition, it can even solve "Alzheimer's disease, an incurable disease in 2 1 century"! Wow, is it that good? First of all, according to a randomized human study in China, adding extra coconut oil every day can reduce the body weight by about 2kg after 90 days compared with adding extra ordinary oil. Attention! This experimental design is to compare the weight changes of coconut oil and ordinary oil, rather than eating coconut oil will lose weight.
The Philippines is not reluctant, and it is found that coconut oil does have the effect of lowering blood fat. Listen up! However, if we carefully observe these two studies, especially the part about blood lipids, we will find interesting points, whether the blood lipids are good or not, they are all "up and down" together. As long as we take a little time to go back and re-examine the characteristics of "saturated fatty acids", we will find that the answer is not difficult. "Saturated fatty acids" will not only increase bad blood lipids (LDL), but also slightly increase good blood lipids (HDL). In short, "the overall blood lipid will rise together."
As for the most popular method "preventing dementia" recently, can clinical research tell the truth? Instead, we should first look back and reverse the fundamental mechanism of degeneration-"ketogenic diet", a special treatment method to relieve epilepsy in children by using high fat and medium-chain triglycerides (hereinafter referred to as MCT).
