Coconut Oil is not a Superfood you think it is

Over the past few years, coconut oil has becoming new trend claiming to be able to aid to prevent heart diseases and cancer. 

From what I learnt from Nutritional Immunology from Dr Chen, I know it wasn't conclusive. 

However, a recent article published in Straits Time, "Coconut Oil not a Superfood you think it is"


"While coconut oil is a healthier alternative to butter or lard, it is not as good as unsaturated plant oils"

"There is also no conclusive evidence that coconut oil aids weight loss, according to experts. It might even be counterproductive to consume large quantities of coconut oil in hopes of losing weight, as the oil is high in calories"

"Bottom line, Coconut oil is not a miracle food"

For me, I won't choose oil recommended in article such as olive oil, canola oil. Why? 

There are 2 reasons which need to look at to select a healthy cooking oil

1. Smoke point
2. Omega 3: Omega 6 ration


Isn't it important to learn to be wiser consumer, given that there are many misconceptions from TV, newspaper, magazines, or celebrities. 

Thanks to Nutritional Immunology, I learnt to equip myself with the right knowledge, and it's my mission to spread the gift of knowledge to public. 

Always equip yourself to be wise consumer
