Here's a thought for you: When Facebook told people coconut oil was good, my friend immediately bought some, when Facebook told her it was bad, she got rid of it. If I tell her the science and food industry tactics, she will never believe me, because she didn't read it on her news feed on Facebook. Scary stuff!
Facebook doesn’t tell you anything. People and companies on Facebook preach their agenda. So no, Facebook didn’t tell people coconut oil was good or bad. Facebook algorithms will link you to companies that cover subjects you have searched or commented on. Companies selling their agenda and products pay to do targeted posts.
Today in Melbourne Australia I had an appointment with a dietician. I am nearly 75 and the dietician looked up an Australian Govt Health site and said to me to NEVER NEVER use MCT Coconut oil because it is bad for my heart.
Coconut oil is the natural food for the heart - it gets the highest recommendation by the Australian Heart Foundation. I live in the Pacific where the coconut and it's derivatives being coconut oil, coconut water and coconut milk, is a staple - I probably eat about a tablespoon minimum every day and have done for many years - I am 68 with the same body I had at 25 (same weight, waste, chest, height). - I use it in my hair - it's a miraculous sun tanner without screening the sun - I make my own toothpaste with it by adding bicarb - I use it as butter, I cook with it, I use it as a carrier oil for essential oils - We who are healthy are healthy because we eat loads of fat - fat makes you thin. Cholesterol has nothing to do with it...the word cholesterol was not even heard of until 1980 - (and BTW there is only one type of cholesterol but there are two types of carriers HDL is the supply trucks and LDL is the pick up (rubbish) trucks)...the GP is ignorant - the university they went to is controlled by drug lords who sit on their boards...Cholesterol is the body's NUMBER ONE antioxidant and anti inflammatory -The natives in the islands never suffer from skin problems, obesity, heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, cancer etc etc etc and guess what is their main staple - it's paw paw and coconut...the whole thing... High cholesterol and mine is higher than most, means I get more Vitamin D3 when I stand in the sun, it means my thyroid is healthy since your thyroid is the hungriest gland in the body for cholesterol and it protects me against the common cold, engenders a feeling of well being, is a catalyst for the assimilation of calcium into the bone, is what your brain is made of, AND FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LOWER THEIR CHOLESTEROL using Statins - good luck ! Statins cause statin myopathy (stroke, heart attack and joint pain. Statins now have 30 diseases attributed to them - your GP is a pusher. natureopaths are the medicine men and women...the word DOCTOR means to fabricate and falsify. eat food not crap.
Wow! You said it better than I could even if I tried. The lame brain who actually trusts the AMA seriously needs to be educated. Hopefully he will eventually see the FDA and the AMA for what they really are. Legalised frauds.
theinvisiblewun ...........You sound like a very healthy person......These people who agree with the AMA won’t be around very long so trying to teach them the truth is a waste of your precious time.....Let them take their statins, eat low fat highly processed foods.....They will be sickly and be taking lots of drugs soon....You will live a long and healthy life as it should be.....Many blessings to you...👍😊
I mix 2 tablespoons of VCO into my hot cacao. If I don’t have VCO, I blend my hot cacao with grass-fed butter or grass-fed Ghee. It satiates me. I drink in concoction in the morning and it leaves me satisfied until lunch, sometimes until late afternoon. I drink a lot of H2 water ( bought a Hydrogen generator) in between. I feel more energized (clean energy from burning of heathy fats - from butter or VCO or Ghee). I no longer snack or crave for sugary stuff. I stop consuming pastries, ice cream, bread. It REALLY helps me with my energy level when taking clean fats.
I follow a few simple rules and it has always kept me healthy: 1) Avoid processed foods as much as you can. The only time I have them is at a party or some social gathering (which is quite infrequent) where I don't want to come across as a health snob. 2) Anything edible from nature is good (that includes coconuts). Nature knows best. It gives you the right balance of nutrients in every vegetable/fruit/nut it produces. 3) Balance and moderation is everything. Eat small quantities of all kinds of plant based foods instead of gorging on one kind of "super food" just because it is produced by nature. 4) Do not eat too much. Eat a morsel less than what is required to satiate your hunger. Eat only two meals a day that too only when you really feel hungry. Excessive food intake eating and eating frequently does not allow your body to rest and repair. 5) Intermittent fasting (12-16 hours every day) and a 48 hour fast once a month. This practice burns up excess glycogen deposits, cleans up waste products from the body, and gives it much needed rest for rejuvenation. 6) Regular bowel movement (twice a day) to not allow the digestive waste linger in the large intestines for a long time which is really bad. 7) Do significant amount of physical activity (walking, jogging, weights etc.) 8) Drink enough water.
alan wisdom he just looks overweight because he's standing next to Thomas... plus that doesn't mean anything if he's overweight he still has the correct knowledge.
alan wisdom Sure the cardiologist is bit big boned 😉 but he even hinted that the heart association loves their buffets too.. probably funded by PepsiCo
alan wisdom not everybody enjoys fasting and diets and working out. And people put on weight easier as they age. Doesn't mean he isn't healthy or isn't eating healthy. Not to mention, he's a cardiologist. Probably works all week and finds better things to do with all that money in his spare time 😂 and "for a cardiologist".... since when are doctors known for being ripped??!!?!!
Thanks!! I'm a 49 year old women who weighed 352lbs on April 12,2017 my doctor suggested me to eat coconut oil then I found the keto diet and I have lost 35lbs but I get so many people telling me its bad. Now I know why I feel so much better this video has put my heart at ease. Thank you!!
Great Info!!! I am so glad you are out there helping us know how to eat for health... I started the KETO diet 5 months ago... In 5 months I have lost 50 lbs, thrown away all Metforman, Lantus and Novolog diabetes meds... my fasting glucose was 200-300 and my A1C was in the double digits ...I was taking 1000 mg of Metforman twice a day, 100 units of Lantus twice a day and 35 units of Novolog after every meal.... Now my fasting blood glucose is 120 and my A1C is 5.5... After 7 years of insulin resistance, my body has fallen back to normal...KETO has been life changing for me... I keep watching your channel and want to keep learning... Keep up the good work... you are saving lives out here...Thanks
@bepreparedforwhatscoming4975 i was wondering too because im 25 and my bmi is 19 i dont wanna keep losing weight. Lol i used to be 140 at 5'4 now im at 118 . 😂❤🎉😢 i go from 120 to 115 too like maybe thats balanced weight? Like i can get away with that? I dont feel particularly ill when i lose it too. Its just when i dont eat a meal sometimes. I guess.
Thank you for setting the record straight. The food industry is incorrect in promoting what is bad for our health because it is good for business. We use coconut oil for cooking, for sunburn, moisturizer, etc. No health concerns for many years.
JAAPIOJO you are definitely talking to the wrong person about voting for President Trump. I study people, the mind, and personal development. I saw very cleary that the current commander would be a disaster for not only America but the world. The level of mental manipulation and lies about lies that were documented..rewriting the definition of facts vs ideas/beliefs, falsehoods vs truths. Old time philosophers had already pushed us as a species in an evolutionary direction in understanding these concepts but even here we are set back with "alternative facts"... there are way too many red flags to list. But I also knew he would win. Instead of complaing about him being elected I choose to use my tools to help my fellow human beings become masters of their own mind so they no longer fall for the bs that government officials and money hungry individuals like some of those in the AHA spew out. It is very hard to manipulate a strong mind that trust it's instincts and has developed a high level of critical thinking and broad understanding. I can see clearly and I hope to help others to "truly see" as well and be able to make up their own minds regardless of my or anyone else's own personal opinions and beliefs. That is the beginning of freedom and first stage of harnessing one's personal power. Any power an individual may feel by putting someone else down or by inducing fear or by some sort of force isn't true power at all. The source of manipulation has the power, not you. Even still, if the individual you are trying to influence is the master of their mind, the source of manipulation has no power either...unless the master allows it☺
I appreciate all of your info on coconut oil and everything Thomas! !! I know now my family all died of food. It breaks my heart we are being lied to. I am a personal trainer now and have lost 150 lbs. Im 49 and in the best shape of my life. I love all the scientific info. I knew my family wasn't healthy and now that I know the details you share they literally died of food. My mom dad and sister. Makes me so furious and im mad too!! God bless you for your passion love for people and your information!!💞
You should be. I am because my older brother my mother..and my aunt R.I.P she died of cancer . Because she thought going to chemo would be the best option. But she also didnt eat the best..so sighhhh. Not saying medication isnt good. Theres a time and place for all of it. But man...that was heavy as hell she was only in her 50s
I'm so f*cking furious at the shit I grew up believing. I can't even think of any more words to express my frustration, I seem to be on the verge of apoplexy.
I've been on a salad diet for 2 weeks and my energy has been so depleted. As a person who's always uses vegetable oil and olive oil in all of their cooking dishes. Starting today I am going to get rid of those things and start only using coconut oil as well as taking coconut oil with my tea twice a day. I strive to have a healthy lifestyle for me and my family. Thank you for your many teachings.
Thank you for doing this video. I just had to try and educate numerous people on Facebook who were sharing this article and bashing coconut oil and saturated fat. Unfortunately the years of miss information that fat is bad is next to impossible to get out of peoples heads. Love that you had a cardiologist on, just adds more credibility to what you have been saying for so long. Thank you brother for doing what you are doing.
Many people refuse to believe this but we NEED fat! My wife said without any fat our hair & skin would dry out and we would age much faster. She is right. She takes coconut oil, also eats other fats, and her skin is so smooth like a 20 year old. Hair shines bright. If you never eat one drop of fat, ever, no doubt your skin is wrinkly and you look much older than you are.
your body cannot absorb vitamins without fat in your diet, fat is a nutrient. also, there is no proven link between high LDL levels and cardiovascular disease.
I have been using coconut oil for some time now. I love its fragrant smell as I am cooking with it and the taste is pleasant. I ,as well, use it for skin care and as as conditioner for my hair at times. It is wonderful and I have had no problems with it. I will continue to use it. Thank you for the access to this very informative video. I enjoy the content of your videos thoroughly. Keep up the excellent work.
I've been eating it and using it for many years regardless of what anyone says, because I can SEE and FEEL how it's working. Thank you for this amazing interview!! #Validation 🙌💓
Best validation ever! I hope it works for everyone. Cuz theres ppl that say its not for everyone..especially if you have "high cholesterol " or high "ldl" sighhhh hopefully thats not the case. So i can recommend it to my older brother who needs to lose weight. And wants to. For his high blood pressure.
Coconut and MCT oils are what I have every day. My doctor said my cholesterol was high, and he warned me against coconut oil. I did my Triglycerides/HDL ration and it was extremely healthy. The doctor didn't even look at the fact I had low Tris and high HDL, just ignorant he wanted me to go on statins. I said don't bother..I'm looking for a new doctor now. Every other blood test result was excellent including glucose plasma....
Lance Link I was told my lvls were also high and I needed Statins.He said I could climb a mountain everyday for a year and I would not bring it down.I told him to watch this space,6 months later he was like ok you don't need statins
Lance Link what about ldl ? so ur doc told you you cholesterol is high. Which is a definite risk factor for heart disease and u told him to fuck off? Smart
Thank you for this video. I have been arguing with several people. I hate that I have to defend coconut oil. I am 68 years old and have worked at WalMart 30 years and people say I look 40. Coconut oil is part of my health and youthful appearance.
Dr. Weiss is a licensed naturopathic which is way different from a regular MD which requires years of medical school and training. I looked him up on another article. Naturopathic has thier own schools and can specialize in whatever area they claim.
From one physician to another, Thank You for not drinking the same Kool Aid so many others in our profession have done! Getting nutrition advice from a physician is risky at best. I went to one of the top medical schools in the nation, and to fulfill the "nutrition" requirement we just had to read a little paperback book and write a paper...about 4 hours out of 4 years of med school to "master" the subject of knowing what the body needs to do what its designed to do...maintain an existence of health and recovery when necessary. There's a few self educated docs out there that have this vital information...If a doc thumbs their nose at sound nutrition principles, ask them the extent of their training specifically and dedicated to nutrition....most will not have much to say after that😀
That's because Hippocrates said let your medecine be your food and your food your medecine. If doctors were forced to learn more on nutrition they would be like wait a minute this profession is a lie that profits off of innocent people.
This man here is not a Cardiologist. I looked up his background and he's never been on the board of the American Heart Assocation. Why would Thomas lie and say this?
I started using coconut oil 2 years ago and I lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks-also lowered my ALT (liver enzyme=fatty liver disease ) from 42 to 17-Dr.(oncologist/hematologist) was amazed-said keep taking it!
Thanks for this response to put confidence back to everyone who are looking to get healthy and educate themselves what real health is. From down under, Good health 2 ya!
I am so glad to hear from a Cardiologist. I have been using coconut oil for about six months, on my face and body, cooking with it and using it in smoothies. I have stopped taking thyroid medication, I can't say enough good things about it. Coconut oil takes about three steps to get to the liver to be distributed and used, and about nineteen for canola oil. Dip a spoon in coconut oil and another in soybean oil, wash both in hot water only; the oil which washes more easily is the one you want to use.
The oil that could make a heart attack even more possible, he is not a physician, be careful. Coconut oil is the worst option you get for your health. It’s more than 80% saturated.
After I began taking half a teaspoon of coconut oil a day to heal my stomach, my face went from dry, rough, and itchy to soft and smooth. Seborrheic keratosis moles on my legs came off. My hair became shinier and healthier. I won’t take more as I don’t want high cholesterol, but it has become my elixir of youth.
I would have liked it more if you had mentioned the difference between refined and unrefined organic coconut oil. I only use unrefined, because I read an article that warned about refined being dangerous due to the process used in refining it.
I have been using coconut oil in my food and I have found it very beneficial, my blood pressure has stabilised and my cholesterol level has come down. I also don’t crave certain foods and have lost some weight.
Keep speaking the truth... Been taking coconut oil for 6 months and I feel fantastic I think better my skin is so moist now wrinkles have disappeared and I honest to God feel great
I was dianosised with heart disease and scleroderma back in 2011. I'm now on the keto diet. I've lost 40lbs. I notice on this diet that the pain from scleroderma has almost went away, which is amazing. I have family members though that say I'm making my heart disease worse on this diet..idk. I drink coconut oil and heavy cream in my coffee everyday. I use coconut oil, butter, and olive oil.I heard you say something about olive oil. I use olive oil to cook sometimes, is heating it a bad thing? I also use it room temp over salads. Am I doing something wrong?
If coconut oil is so bad for you, then most people using it for bulletproof coffee are done! Seriously, it's difficult to know what to believe because for every video that supports coconut oil there is a video that tells the viewer opposite. Tom, thanks for this info.
I had one question to what you guys touched on briefly in the video. Regarding gallbladders needing fat and with low-fat you end up having to remove them Ergo causing higher risk of cancer. Can you clarify or maybe post a link to an article? Would like to hear more about this
I have been using coconut oil for a long time, especially on my face and hands at night. I usually get organic virgin because I know it is best. But this last time I wasn't paying enough attention and the price was really good. So what I ended up with is two large jars of organic expeller pressed. I want to know if this still has any benefits. It doesn't even have any coconut smell or taste. But, it does still remain solid at room temperature.

It is so pathetic how they can say bad things about coconut. Where I am from, costal region of India (between Goa and Mumbai), fresh coconut is used almost every day in cooking.... vegetables, curries, with fish. You name it. I never heard of dementia until I was in India.
Well done for your courage to speak out , seams like the plenty off people want us all on medications , big money , what happened to Mother Nature , and it's benefits fruits vegetables , and herbs 👍🏼
Yes, back in the 60's they showed how people looked in a video, and you didn't see overweight people. Then the government started a SAD diet along with their pyramid and started killing people off!
I'm mad too. I have been researching fats and oils for the last 1 1/2 yrs. Thank you for your presentations, and thank you for having Dr Weiss on as a cardiologist. I am mad the medical machine for not having enough balls to say no to Big Pharma and the profit of keeping people sick. yes I could talk for hours on this but once again thank you. I try to educate everybody I talk to about this subject, good fats, etc.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
BIG C I'm curious to see a response. I use avacado oil to roast vegetables at 400 or 450. I read it has the highest smoke point and doesnt breakdown like olive oil.
Pure avocado oil (many times it's blended with sunflower and you don't want that kind) is a very healthy monosaturated fat that is has oxidation temperate higher than even coconut oil. Hence, you can use it for cooking.
That's cool, I just watched his smoothie video that said he used sunflower butter because the oil in it has beneficial properties. So, I was just wondering about cooking with sunflower oil.
Exactly, me however never ever feelt good on oils, i afterall got systemic candida from coconut oil but it was my fault because i consumed it with high carbs and protein, but even today when i consume oils i get insane brain fog
Hey Thomas! Great to see you standing up for MCTs and saturated fats! I find it hilarious that people beat up on saturated fats so much, and then shove 400g of sugar loaded cereal in their cakehole. For hundreds of thousands of years, we as Hunter-gatherer Neanderthal lived primarily on meat and fats and marrow. Its one of the reasons Neanderthals DNA developed in way as to protect our immunity during extreme ice ages. Yet we've only had grain agriculture for the last 8,000 or so years. DNA mapping and programming takes tens of thousands of years to change and mutate/evolve. Our bodies are designed to run on MCTs and saturated fats. Their is the argument for carbs as feul in sports yes, but generally for the regular human, we can survive and thrive quite nicely without carbs. Seems prudent to mention the lab tests and experiments over the years that showed how cancer tumours grew in the presence of carbs, but shrivelled and died when fed only proteins and fats. Great to see you have an actual medical professional on your chann who actually understands nutritional science. Keep the awesome content coming 💪
My cholesterol level is negatively affected by saturated fat, this is "fact" for me, maybe genetic but there you go... I live in the UK and my LDL was 8.5 which is quite high... I lowered my sat fat consumption to less than 20g per day using a macro tracking phone app and within 2months LDL went to 4.5, well within the healthy range.. No other changes no drugs...
Slothy you can't just say 'keto diets' do this and that because you don't know how any individual implements the guidelines. One may eat avocados, nuts, olive oil and salmon. Another may eat bacon, coconut oil, steak, sausage, cream, and butter all day. Both are high fat keto diets.
Slothy I disagree. I believe the American heart association's official statement against saturated fat and coconut oil. I also am not aware of evidence organic meat makes a difference on nutrition effect in the body. There is just opinion and politics and fear of the unknown. I don't know of any studies showing people improving their health with saturated fat.
I am so mad my grandmother died because of this. My grandmother used fat and lard and butter Wade 80 pounds overweight when she died she refused to take statins. She rarely went to the doctor. She cured herself with a lot of herbs and medicinal plants that she had in her backyard in Miami, she ate pork, bacon lard, She died 100 years old and two weeks. Just imagine if she wouldn’t have done any of these things. She could’ve lived to be 200. I’m really mad.!

Thank you so much Mr. DeLauer. I have been in the medical field for many years working as a nurse with all kinds of doctors, and the truth is that the last person I will go for nutritional advice is a medical doctor. God Bless the doctors, but they do not teach nutrition in medical school is not part of their curriculum. That is why I really appreciate this video Mr. DeLauer. Thank you
Joe Anthony Morales I also am a nurse and work with a lot of doctors and guess what....most of them look terribly fat, sick, and unhealthy themselves. If they truly knew what is healthy in a diet, they wouldn't be in such terrible shape themselves. It's like who would you listen to first, a doctor smoking a cigarette telling you that you have to quit smoking, or a doctor whom doesn't smoke telling you to quit smoking.....probably the non-smoking doctor....exactly!
Avocado oil has good fats with a high smoke point. I would have thought it would be very good for cooking. Personally I'd use olive oil over butter too.
Slothy From my readings it is the polyunsaturated fats that are unstable when heated and although there are some in olive oil and avacado oil, there is not that much. Butter on the other hand is very low in polyunsaturates however, it show 3.3g per 100g of trans fats. Coconut oil looks very good though. Very low polyunsaturates, no transfats but a low smoke point. So, coconut oil used at low heats might now be my choice of oils. Eitherway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
No oil is good. Think about it, it takes 1400 olives to make 1 liter. It's all condensed energy with barely no nutrients or fiber. Olive oil is better than some other oils because of high anti-oxidants, but it's still 15% saturated. Olive oil is better than butter or lard or coconut. But at the end it's not good for the health and prevents arteries from stretching properly and you're better off as a human to get your fats from nuts.
I lived in Asia for 2 years looked 20 years younger no eyebags deep wrinkles gone fish cooked in coconut jack fruit bananas everything picked an caught no power or fridge just island life
Thomas, thanks for this video. I am a registered nurse and use coconut oil everyday because of its health benefits. I appreciate this video because now I can share it with others who are unsure.
Awesome stuff, I didn't believe those Liars that published that article anyway I know better. I lost 134 pounds , healed my left ventricular hypertrophy - all with the ketogenic diet and plenty plenty of coconut oil and butter, and I've never been healthier! Vegans or anti-low carb peeps spare your trolling, go bark at someone else! You are wasting your time talking smack to me! 😂😆 I know what Keto did for me and so do my Drs, I don't owe you any explanations. I know the truth because I live it! ✌👌👋
Awesome stuff? Are you talking about the guy in the video pretending to be a doctor. MFW he makes a claim that the article is false but provides no evidence
As someone who put an end to recurring arrhythmia with keto (including lots of coconut oil) I am grateful to people like this who are calling out the b*llsh*t that the medical establishment keeps spewing out.
Someone needs to tell my grandma who is now 93yrs old and still working in her garden to stop eating all that coconut oil and eating at least two or more avocados per day, “that’s ridiculous” is what I use to tell her, when I see her disregard for rational concern for the consequences of the amount of fat and calories and cholesterol that she would consume in a day. Even though she was not at all fat, as a matter of fact she is a little on the skinny side. She’s 5’3” maybe about 110lbs no heart issues or high blood pressure. Still I thought that was excessive. However she did get sick and was told that she had really high cholesterol one time AFTER, her doctor asked about her eating habits, and instead she cease using coconut oil and eating all that avocado as it could be very harmful to her health. He recommended that she would have better health by adding more grains and fruits and rest more. That’s when she started having issues with constipation and sleeping skin issues that she never had beforehand.She’s been doing good for the past three years she went back to Jamaica and she’s been doing the opposite of the doctor’s advice and she is great 👍 I’m not a doctor but I have been doing the same thing as her since February, plus I intermittent fast and I’m so much better off. 43lbs less than I was and bursting with energy!!!!! COCONUT OIL BAD!!!!! I DON’T RECOMMEND IT. Nope!
I’m so mad too! My dad was taking a pill for high colesterol and after 2yrs he started to have some memory issues after I took him the doctor they said he had begging of demencia after more test they lower the doses of the colesterol medicine and he stopped having memory issues.
Man i wish i knew what you know and did what you do to get and keep healthy. I will try to do my best from now on. Just today my second child was born and i want their daddy to be around for a long time.
Jules Hodge, I was about to ask the same question! Also, was about to check if Thomas already did a video on it. I'm new to the channel and hooked, great content, and well articulated. Thanks, Thomas!!
Avocado oil would be in the same category as olive oil. They are both filled with mono fats which are fine when you eat them from the actual avocado or olive but not pressed into an oil and then used heated because they still break down faster than saturated and oxidize quicker.
So i just found a video Thomas did a year a go about oils. He talks about avocado oil. Great for high heat cooking like i was thinking. ua-cam.com/video/DEh2yNKc410/v-deo.html
I'm sorry, but the argument is extremely flawed. Before anyone jumps the gun on me please note that I'm on the fence about coconut oil, simply because of the lack of studies, although I do lean towards it being unhealthy. Coconut oil is full of saturated fat, abnormally high concentrations of it. Saturated fat found naturally in things such as avocados, walnuts, peanuts... Have trace amounts of it inside, alongside with a ton of fibre (the point I'm making here is that with food we need to look at the wholefood as a pose to the nutrient). The same goes for sugar, its like comparing apple juice to apples, but instead, coconut oil to coconut, a refined food! Not naturally found in primal diets (not to say that our diet has to be 100% primal). Furthermore, the examples this doctor is making that 'as soon as margarine came out health got worse in the population' is quite pathetic; a wide range of things made our health worse and we can't pin it down to margarine. Looking at the studies in favor of coconut oil, there isn't enough control and the crieteria is poor, for example, they are comparing the fat in coconut oil to the fat consumption of a NORMAL diet... Guys, a 'normal diet' causes heart disease, 'normal' diets have raised plasma cholesterol... 'normal' is a terrible criteria. Where the main issue of coconut oil comes in (well, saturated fats specifically) is that they impair insulin sensitivity where the muscle fail to uptake glucose. People will wonder, why does a ketogenic diet work? It works as an unsustainable short term solution where a lot of water weight is lost and a little bit of fat; but often as soon as the 'keto person' eats carbs, they put of fat. Why? Because of all the saturated fat (but perhaps saturated fats from animal products only? Maybe its the animal protein?) that inhibits glucose uptake by the muscle. I personally have had days where I hve eaten a stupid amount of coconut oil, it tastes good, alongside with a normal amount of carbs. The next morning I lost 1 or 2 kg... This is misleading; I figured the reason is that the carbs got turned to fat instead of glygcogen, because... glycogen requires 3 grams of water for every gram of fat so its heavier! Fat is a very light weight form of energy storage... But of course we can't go by my personal experience. Actually read the studies; and read them; researchers try and fuck us over in the abstract and conclusion when you need to look at methods and results as well. The take away here: - Coconut oil is NOT a whole food; eat coconuts instead - Coconut oil as a source of fat is awesome... when compared to animal fat consumption (which comes with inflammatory baggage) - More studies are needed - This doctor is full of shit - My experience doesn't account for all Apoligies for grammatic errors, I cbf proof reading my post :)
The analogy of looking at fats,like Carbs, in combination with the uniform information here makes for an excellent nutritional foundation. . . Thnx to you both!
I have just recently started using coconut oil, 1Tbs in the a.m. and 1 at night. I am already feeling the difference! I will continue this from now on!!
"Doctor"..... "doctor". I'm pretty sure it's illegal to claim you're a cardiologist when you're not and more so claim you're on the board of a government organisation.
About a week ago I mentioned to a couple of co-workers I was using coconut oil and butter to make coffee and doing intermittent fasting. Not even 5 seconds later someone walked up and started touting the said report you referenced and how bad it (coconut oil) was. I chalk it up to the "crab in the pot" analogy. As soon as you start something and show some success, someone is bound to be jealous, or feel insecure and try and drag you back into the pot. Great post. Shared.
My daughter is an RN, and she read that article. Unfortunately she beleived it. Now she wants me to get rid of my coconut oil, beacause it’s bad for my heart. That is not going to happen. Last month I had a heart cath done. Zero problems, no stents, clean pipes, no build up. Proof positive.
I know I will probably get slammed by supporters, but I will share a co-relation I see in my country India. People from Kerala (a small state in India) has coconut oil as staple food. They make everything in coconut oil, coocnut milk, coconut chutney etc. They are like the diabetes capital of India. While rest of India is like 5-9% diabetic, Kerala sees 20% people Diabetic! I personally feel Saturated Fat with high sugar is primary reason for diabetes there, but then you have to take your own call. Pendulum keeps shifting as far as health is concerned you decide which side you are on :).
cbrcoder you are correct, the fat blocks the sugar from getting into the cells where it needs to go, which means it overloads the blood therefore causing diabetes. This is why you see high carb low fat plant based diets reversing heart disease and diabetes. Do you know anyone who makes their own coconut oil? No? Why not? Because it's nearly impossible to do it without the machinery to process %100 oil fat from a coconut. How you can promote any oil as healthy is ridiculous lol if you want the benefits of a coconut, eat a fucking coconut like we are meant to...
Steve B that logic is so flawed. If something is extremely unhealthy in huge amounts, it is still reasonably unhealthy in moderate amounts. You wouldnt say that smoking one cigarette a day is perfectly healthy because its in moderation?
Here's a thought for you: When Facebook told people coconut oil was good, my friend immediately bought some, when Facebook told her it was bad, she got rid of it. If I tell her the science and food industry tactics, she will never believe me, because she didn't read it on her news feed on Facebook. Scary stuff!
ThecMasses😇
People are blind to authority nowadays
Facebook doesn’t tell you anything. People and companies on Facebook preach their agenda. So no, Facebook didn’t tell people coconut oil was good or bad. Facebook algorithms will link you to companies that cover subjects you have searched or commented on. Companies selling their agenda and products pay to do targeted posts.
Today in Melbourne Australia I had an appointment with a dietician. I am nearly 75 and the dietician looked up an Australian Govt Health site and said to me to NEVER NEVER use MCT Coconut oil because it is bad for my heart.
@@gayedawn1 So don't use it. Just avoid sugar and wheat. Very easy to do.
Coconut oil is the natural food for the heart - it gets the highest recommendation by the Australian Heart Foundation. I live in the Pacific where the coconut and it's derivatives being coconut oil, coconut water and coconut milk, is a staple - I probably eat about a tablespoon minimum every day and have done for many years - I am 68 with the same body I had at 25 (same weight, waste, chest, height). - I use it in my hair - it's a miraculous sun tanner without screening the sun - I make my own toothpaste with it by adding bicarb - I use it as butter, I cook with it, I use it as a carrier oil for essential oils - We who are healthy are healthy because we eat loads of fat - fat makes you thin. Cholesterol has nothing to do with it...the word cholesterol was not even heard of until 1980 - (and BTW there is only one type of cholesterol but there are two types of carriers HDL is the supply trucks and LDL is the pick up (rubbish) trucks)...the GP is ignorant - the university they went to is controlled by drug lords who sit on their boards...Cholesterol is the body's NUMBER ONE antioxidant and anti inflammatory -The natives in the islands never suffer from skin problems, obesity, heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis, cancer etc etc etc and guess what is their main staple - it's paw paw and coconut...the whole thing... High cholesterol and mine is higher than most, means I get more Vitamin D3 when I stand in the sun, it means my thyroid is healthy since your thyroid is the hungriest gland in the body for cholesterol and it protects me against the common cold, engenders a feeling of well being, is a catalyst for the assimilation of calcium into the bone, is what your brain is made of, AND FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LOWER THEIR CHOLESTEROL using Statins - good luck ! Statins cause statin myopathy (stroke, heart attack and joint pain. Statins now have 30 diseases attributed to them - your GP is a pusher. natureopaths are the medicine men and women...the word DOCTOR means to fabricate and falsify. eat food not crap.
theinvisiblewun Agreed on all points! Let's just keep going with it... The proof in our own bodies is enough. 🙂
Sinkor22 you write like you're fat 🤔
Wow! You said it better than I could even if I tried. The lame brain who actually trusts the AMA seriously needs to be educated. Hopefully he will eventually see the FDA and the AMA for what they really are. Legalised frauds.
truth right here.
theinvisiblewun ...........You sound like a very healthy person......These people who agree with the AMA won’t be around very long so trying to teach them the truth is a waste of your precious time.....Let them take their statins, eat low fat highly processed foods.....They will be sickly and be taking lots of drugs soon....You will live a long and healthy life as it should be.....Many blessings to you...👍😊
I use coconut oil and it stopped my hayfever seasonal allergies, and reduced my belly fat in just 2 weeks.
Tesla Fan hah! 2 weeks? Bullshit 😆
I am struggling a lot with hayfever here in germany right now and use coconut oil almost daily. How did it help you with the allergic symptoms?
I mix 2 tablespoons of VCO into my hot cacao. If I don’t have VCO, I blend my hot cacao with grass-fed butter or grass-fed Ghee. It satiates me. I drink in concoction in the morning and it leaves me satisfied until lunch, sometimes until late afternoon. I drink a lot of H2 water ( bought a Hydrogen generator) in between. I feel more energized (clean energy from burning of heathy fats - from butter or VCO or Ghee). I no longer snack or crave for sugary stuff. I stop consuming pastries, ice cream, bread. It REALLY helps me with my energy level when taking clean fats.
@@BGTrombone no, you never cook or heat these kind of oils (coconut, Ex Virg Olive etc)
Yes, I believe that. Of course the naysayers just spout off without even giving it a try.
I follow a few simple rules and it has always kept me healthy:
1) Avoid processed foods as much as you can. The only time I have them is at a party or some social gathering (which is quite infrequent) where I don't want to come across as a health snob.
2) Anything edible from nature is good (that includes coconuts). Nature knows best. It gives you the right balance of nutrients in every vegetable/fruit/nut it produces.
3) Balance and moderation is everything. Eat small quantities of all kinds of plant based foods instead of gorging on one kind of "super food" just because it is produced by nature.
4) Do not eat too much. Eat a morsel less than what is required to satiate your hunger. Eat only two meals a day that too only when you really feel hungry. Excessive food intake eating and eating frequently does not allow your body to rest and repair.
5) Intermittent fasting (12-16 hours every day) and a 48 hour fast once a month. This practice burns up excess glycogen deposits, cleans up waste products from the body, and gives it much needed rest for rejuvenation.
6) Regular bowel movement (twice a day) to not allow the digestive waste linger in the large intestines for a long time which is really bad.
7) Do significant amount of physical activity (walking, jogging, weights etc.)
8) Drink enough water.
Very well said.
Whole food plant-based definitely has helped many people in my family reduce their meds for so many issues.
I totally agree, and try to live by these rules as much as possible! My BMI is 21, and my labs are great!
Excuse me but this cardiologist doesn't look very healthy 🤔 for a cardiologist he's overweight.
alan wisdom he just looks overweight because he's standing next to Thomas... plus that doesn't mean anything if he's overweight he still has the correct knowledge.
alan wisdom
My panel beater drives a dented car, but it doesn't mean he isn't good at his job.
alan wisdom Sure the cardiologist is bit big boned 😉 but he even hinted that the heart association loves their buffets too.. probably funded by PepsiCo
Arty Flores pepsico?
alan wisdom not everybody enjoys fasting and diets and working out. And people put on weight easier as they age. Doesn't mean he isn't healthy or isn't eating healthy. Not to mention, he's a cardiologist. Probably works all week and finds better things to do with all that money in his spare time 😂
and "for a cardiologist".... since when are doctors known for being ripped??!!?!!
Wow, eye opening. We are in a war for our health against the very people who are supposed to be protecting us.
Thanks!! I'm a 49 year old women who weighed 352lbs on April 12,2017 my doctor suggested me to eat coconut oil then I found the keto diet and I have lost 35lbs but I get so many people telling me its bad. Now I know why I feel so much better this video has put my heart at ease. Thank you!!
How are you doing today?
yeah, its the keto. lol
Great Info!!! I am so glad you are out there helping us know how to eat for health... I started the KETO diet 5 months ago... In 5 months I have lost 50 lbs, thrown away all Metforman, Lantus and Novolog diabetes meds... my fasting glucose was 200-300 and my A1C was in the double digits ...I was taking 1000 mg of Metforman twice a day, 100 units of Lantus twice a day and 35 units of Novolog after every meal.... Now my fasting blood glucose is 120 and my A1C is 5.5... After 7 years of insulin resistance, my body has fallen back to normal...KETO has been life changing for me... I keep watching your channel and want to keep learning... Keep up the good work... you are saving lives out here...Thanks
What do you do when you don’t need to lose weight anymore
@bepreparedforwhatscoming4975 i was wondering too because im 25 and my bmi is 19 i dont wanna keep losing weight. Lol i used to be 140 at 5'4 now im at 118 . 😂❤🎉😢 i go from 120 to 115 too like maybe thats balanced weight? Like i can get away with that? I dont feel particularly ill when i lose it too. Its just when i dont eat a meal sometimes. I guess.
NEVER BEEN HEALTHIER THAN NOW USING LOTS OF COCONUT OIL ! SKIN IS MORE BEAUTIFUL, NOT DRY ! GREAT IN COFFEE ! YAY COCONUT OIL !
How much do you you consume per day?
I use it to remove make up, and as moisturizer, it’s great
? Why are you yelling?
How do you consume it?
Awkward moment when Thomas looks healthier than the "doctor".
Hahaha best comment ever lol
What's your point?? Thomas is a fitness trainer, and the Doctor is NOT
😂just spit my coffee out. Devils advocate: doc spends more time in the hospital. The other guy has more time to sculpt body daily
He's not a real Doctor. Shame on Thomas for saying he is
Thank you for setting the record straight. The food industry is incorrect in promoting what is bad for our health because it is good for business. We use coconut oil for cooking, for sunburn, moisturizer, etc. No health concerns for many years.
Lol first thing I did when I heard about the article was rush to see if coconut oil went on sale so I could stock up😂
ready2learn me too... I was like I'll believe it when the price is as cheap as canola oil.
ready2learn, lol, who knew a destructive article could be helpful.
ready2learn I usually do the opposite of what they recommended or say and I never been to a hospital or sick in my life lol
JAAPIOJO he is president now get over it
JAAPIOJO you are definitely talking to the wrong person about voting for President Trump. I study people, the mind, and personal development. I saw very cleary that the current commander would be a disaster for not only America but the world. The level of mental manipulation and lies about lies that were documented..rewriting the definition of facts vs ideas/beliefs, falsehoods vs truths. Old time philosophers had already pushed us as a species in an evolutionary direction in understanding these concepts but even here we are set back with "alternative facts"... there are way too many red flags to list. But I also knew he would win. Instead of complaing about him being elected I choose to use my tools to help my fellow human beings become masters of their own mind so they no longer fall for the bs that government officials and money hungry individuals like some of those in the AHA spew out. It is very hard to manipulate a strong mind that trust it's instincts and has developed a high level of critical thinking and broad understanding. I can see clearly and I hope to help others to "truly see" as well and be able to make up their own minds regardless of my or anyone else's own personal opinions and beliefs. That is the beginning of freedom and first stage of harnessing one's personal power. Any power an individual may feel by putting someone else down or by inducing fear or by some sort of force isn't true power at all. The source of manipulation has the power, not you. Even still, if the individual you are trying to influence is the master of their mind, the source of manipulation has no power either...unless the master allows it☺
Save the Coconuts 🌴
I appreciate all of your info on coconut oil and everything Thomas! !! I know now my family all died of food. It breaks my heart we are being lied to. I am a personal trainer now and have lost 150 lbs. Im 49 and in the best shape of my life. I love all the scientific info. I knew my family wasn't healthy and now that I know the details you share they literally died of food. My mom dad and sister. Makes me so furious and im mad too!! God bless you for your passion love for people and your information!!💞
You should be. I am because my older brother my mother..and my aunt R.I.P she died of cancer . Because she thought going to chemo would be the best option. But she also didnt eat the best..so sighhhh. Not saying medication isnt good. Theres a time and place for all of it. But man...that was heavy as hell she was only in her 50s
Dr Caldwell Esselstyn says that we should not be consuming any oil whatsoever including coconut.
Yes and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn also shows documented proof of his diet clearing out clogged arteries, lets see this "doctor" in this video show that.
Barry Schouster He isn't even a real doctor
The Person yeah he is a fraud
IW Nunn yea ikr
I like Thomas for the most part but it's pretty low brining this schmuck into his channel...
I'm so f*cking furious at the shit I grew up believing. I can't even think of any more words to express my frustration, I seem to be on the verge of apoplexy.
Thanks for the new word, nerd XD j/k, I'm always glad to learn something.
I've been on a salad diet for 2 weeks and my energy has been so depleted. As a person who's always uses vegetable oil and olive oil in all of their cooking dishes. Starting today I am going to get rid of those things and start only using coconut oil as well as taking coconut oil with my tea twice a day. I strive to have a healthy lifestyle for me and my family. Thank you for your many teachings.
Olive oil is still healthy cold on salads. It only turns in to a trans fat at high temperatures.
Olive oil is good on salads.Do not heat olive oil,and beware...there are many fake or watered down oil on the market
@@sealifett8395 Yeah, you can tell because true olive oil has a strong smell. The ones in the supermarket doesn't.
A salad diet ? Lol so bad for your health !!!
Thank you for doing this video. I just had to try and educate numerous people on Facebook who were sharing this article and bashing coconut oil and saturated fat. Unfortunately the years of miss information that fat is bad is next to impossible to get out of peoples heads. Love that you had a cardiologist on, just adds more credibility to what you have been saying for so long.
Thank you brother for doing what you are doing.
❤❤❤❤agreed its a scary timw we live in
i use coconut oil and is very good for health
Many people refuse to believe this but we NEED fat! My wife said without any fat our hair & skin would dry out and we would age much faster. She is right. She takes coconut oil, also eats other fats, and her skin is so smooth like a 20 year old. Hair shines bright. If you never eat one drop of fat, ever, no doubt your skin is wrinkly and you look much older than you are.
your body cannot absorb vitamins without fat in your diet, fat is a nutrient. also, there is no proven link between high LDL levels and cardiovascular disease.
You do know that this "Dr" is not a real Doctor right? He's not on the board of the American Heart Association as he claims.
The distinction drawn between TC and oxidized cholesterol was very informative. Love me some CO. Keep up the good work.
I have been using coconut oil for some time now. I love its fragrant smell as I am cooking with it and the taste is pleasant. I ,as well, use it for skin care and as as conditioner for my hair at times. It is wonderful and I have had no problems with it. I will continue to use it. Thank you for the access to this very informative video. I enjoy the content of your videos thoroughly. Keep up the excellent work.
I've been eating it and using it for many years regardless of what anyone says, because I can SEE and FEEL how it's working. Thank you for this amazing interview!! #Validation 🙌💓
Best validation ever! I hope it works for everyone. Cuz theres ppl that say its not for everyone..especially if you have "high cholesterol " or high "ldl" sighhhh hopefully thats not the case. So i can recommend it to my older brother who needs to lose weight. And wants to. For his high blood pressure.
Coconut and MCT oils are what I have every day. My doctor said my cholesterol was high, and he warned me against coconut oil. I did my Triglycerides/HDL ration and it was extremely healthy. The doctor didn't even look at the fact I had low Tris and high HDL, just ignorant he wanted me to go on statins. I said don't bother..I'm looking for a new doctor now. Every other blood test result was excellent including glucose plasma....
Lance Link "exact "same story
Lance Link I was told my lvls were also high and I needed Statins.He said I could climb a mountain everyday for a year and I would not bring it down.I told him to watch this space,6 months later he was like ok you don't need statins
Lance Link lol you're an idiot
Well, entirely ignoring everything your doctor says? If I were you I would be getting my house in order if you know what I mean. ;)
Lance Link what about ldl ? so ur doc told you you cholesterol is high. Which is a definite risk factor for heart disease and u told him to fuck off? Smart
Thank you for this video. I have been arguing with several people. I hate that I have to defend coconut oil. I am 68 years old and have worked at WalMart 30 years and people say I look 40. Coconut oil is part of my health and youthful appearance.
awesome to hear, Judith
I buy organic virgin coconut oil, for make up removal, and moisturizer, skin looks fantastic
Well share your secrets the lol I 😊
don't kid yourself. it's your genes that decide if you look young or not
:DDDD
Dr. Weiss is a licensed naturopathic which is way different from a regular MD which requires years of medical school and training. I looked him up on another article. Naturopathic has thier own schools and can specialize in whatever area they claim.
Also ND OR NMD IS TITTLES GIVEN BY NATUROPATHIC COLLEGE MEANING HE IS A NATURAPATHIC DR. DOES NOT MEAN HE IS AN MD ON BOARD OF CARDIOLOGIST.
You are right. He is not a cardiologist and he is not a real doctor.
Yeah he doesn't go to the medical schools that are run by big pharma that turn MD doctors into drug dealers that want to push their drugs for profits
I love coconut oil. And that's it.
From one physician to another, Thank You for not drinking the same Kool Aid so many others in our profession have done! Getting nutrition advice from a physician is risky at best. I went to one of the top medical schools in the nation, and to fulfill the "nutrition" requirement we just had to read a little paperback book and write a paper...about 4 hours out of 4 years of med school to "master" the subject of knowing what the body needs to do what its designed to do...maintain an existence of health and recovery when necessary. There's a few self educated docs out there that have this vital information...If a doc thumbs their nose at sound nutrition principles, ask them the extent of their training specifically and dedicated to nutrition....most will not have much to say after that😀
That's because Hippocrates said let your medecine be your food and your food your medecine. If doctors were forced to learn more on nutrition they would be like wait a minute this profession is a lie that profits off of innocent people.
This man here is not a Cardiologist. I looked up his background and he's never been on the board of the American Heart Assocation. Why would Thomas lie and say this?
Moral of this story don't believe everything you see and hear "GO COCONUT OIL!"
Coconut oil has benefited me in so many ways I love it
plovexx yeah, use it on my face and have 2 tablespoons every day
I started using coconut oil 2 years ago and I lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks-also lowered my ALT (liver enzyme=fatty liver disease ) from 42 to 17-Dr.(oncologist/hematologist) was amazed-said keep taking it!
Buy TUDCA to lower it even more
WOW ! A cardiologist. Telling the truth about fats !!!
Thanks for this response to put confidence back to everyone who are looking to get healthy and educate themselves what real health is.
From down under, Good health 2 ya!
I am so glad to hear from a Cardiologist. I have been using coconut oil for about six months, on my face and body, cooking with it and using it in smoothies. I have stopped taking thyroid medication, I can't say enough good things about it. Coconut oil takes about three steps to get to the liver to be distributed and used, and about nineteen for canola oil. Dip a spoon in coconut oil and another in soybean oil, wash both in hot water only; the oil which washes more easily is the one you want to use.
The oil that could make a heart attack even more possible, he is not a physician, be careful. Coconut oil is the worst option you get for your health. It’s more than 80% saturated.
He's NOT a cardiologist
@@jahfiyah2012 I know, but he is not correcting the interviewer for stating that he is. And he is giving advice as if it is coming from one.
@@organichuman no, he has never been a cardiologist. Naturopathic possibly but he is not, and has never been a practicing physician.
@@organichuman no, he has never been a cardiologist. Naturopathic possibly, but he is not, and has never been a practicing physician.
After I began taking half a teaspoon of coconut oil a day to heal my stomach, my face went from dry, rough, and itchy to soft and smooth. Seborrheic keratosis moles on my legs came off. My hair became shinier and healthier. I won’t take more as I don’t want high cholesterol, but it has become my elixir of youth.
I would have liked it more if you had mentioned the difference between refined and unrefined organic coconut oil. I only use unrefined, because I read an article that warned about refined being dangerous due to the process used in refining it.
I have been using coconut oil in my food and I have found it very beneficial, my blood pressure has stabilised and my cholesterol level has come down. I also don’t crave certain foods and have lost some weight.
Keep speaking the truth... Been taking coconut oil for 6 months and I feel fantastic I think better my skin is so moist now wrinkles have disappeared and I honest to God feel great
Deborah Gonzalez how much one day?
Did you test your ldl cholesterol?
I was dianosised with heart disease and scleroderma back in 2011. I'm now on the keto diet. I've lost 40lbs. I notice on this diet that the pain from scleroderma has almost went away, which is amazing. I have family members though that say I'm making my heart disease worse on this diet..idk. I drink coconut oil and heavy cream in my coffee everyday. I use coconut oil, butter, and olive oil.I heard you say something about olive oil. I use olive oil to cook sometimes, is heating it a bad thing? I also use it room temp over salads. Am I doing something wrong?
This Dr's opening line made me laugh. The remainder made me nod my head and think !!! Awesome information. 👌
I love coconut oil I use it for everything cook with it ,use it on my skin on my hair It does wonders for all of that
If coconut oil is so bad for you, then most people using it for bulletproof coffee are done! Seriously, it's difficult to know what to believe because for every video that supports coconut oil there is a video that tells the viewer opposite. Tom, thanks for this info.
I had one question to what you guys touched on briefly in the video. Regarding gallbladders needing fat and with low-fat you end up having to remove them Ergo causing higher risk of cancer. Can you clarify or maybe post a link to an article? Would like to hear more about this
I have been using coconut oil for a long time, especially on my face and hands at night. I usually get organic virgin because I know it is best. But this last time I wasn't paying enough attention and the price was really good. So what I ended up with is two large jars of organic expeller pressed. I want to know if this still has any benefits. It doesn't even have any coconut smell or taste. But, it does still remain solid at room temperature.

It is so pathetic how they can say bad things about coconut. Where I am from, costal region of India (between Goa and Mumbai), fresh coconut is used almost every day in cooking.... vegetables, curries, with fish. You name it. I never heard of dementia until I was in India.
I know I'm mad. I am a M.A. at a clinic. And I've been telling people about nutrition and mostly coconut oil.
Well done for your courage to speak out , seams like the plenty off people want us all on medications , big money , what happened to Mother Nature , and it's benefits fruits vegetables , and herbs 👍🏼
Yes, back in the 60's they showed how people looked in a video, and you didn't see overweight people. Then the government started a SAD diet along with their pyramid and started killing people off!
that's not a Dr. That's Homer Simpson
Thank you for clearing this up. So how do we avoid oxidized cholesterol?
I'm mad too. I have been researching fats and oils for the last 1 1/2 yrs. Thank you for your presentations, and thank you for having Dr Weiss on as a cardiologist. I am mad the medical machine for not having enough balls to say no to Big Pharma and the profit of keeping people sick. yes I could talk for hours on this but once again thank you. I try to educate everybody I talk to about this subject, good fats, etc.
Bravo guys! Preach that truth!
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Winston Wayne instablaster ;)
A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You Very Much For Sharing...
Great video! Thank you so much!
Very interesting and well made. We had this negative news on coconut oil in UK too. I always question everything as everyone should.
You should also question advice from a fat quack doctor who says dietary fat doesn't make you fat
The Horny Vegan This guy is not even a real doctor, people are morons
freds, keep eating saturated fat. It's the best for ya health yo. The "Doctor" said so.
I'm here because I literally just came from a family doctor who told me that coconut oil was bad for me. Thanks for the info!!!
One of the best channels on youtube, love this channel!!!
Please tell me what is your take on cooking with avacado oil??
BIG C I'm curious to see a response. I use avacado oil to roast vegetables at 400 or 450. I read it has the highest smoke point and doesnt breakdown like olive oil.
Pure avocado oil (many times it's blended with sunflower and you don't want that kind) is a very healthy monosaturated fat that is has oxidation temperate higher than even coconut oil. Hence, you can use it for cooking.
In a previous video he said sunflower oil is good? Have you heard different?
The ovacado oil I use doesn't contain any sunflower oil. But I seem to have no problems cooking with avacado oil
That's cool, I just watched his smoothie video that said he used sunflower butter because the oil in it has beneficial properties. So, I was just wondering about cooking with sunflower oil.
My belief is eat a little of everything in moderation including any oils and fats.
Don't try a little bit of potassium cyanide.. ;-)
@@jambexuk ha ha ha, good one
Exactly, me however never ever feelt good on oils, i afterall got systemic candida from coconut oil but it was my fault because i consumed it with high carbs and protein, but even today when i consume oils i get insane brain fog
Except black seed oil its anti brain fog lol
I agree with you guys.
What is your take on hemp oil?
Absolutely agree!! I use it and have many ailments fade away ♥️💃🎉✨
Hey Thomas! Great to see you standing up for MCTs and saturated fats! I find it hilarious that people beat up on saturated fats so much, and then shove 400g of sugar loaded cereal in their cakehole. For hundreds of thousands of years, we as Hunter-gatherer Neanderthal lived primarily on meat and fats and marrow. Its one of the reasons Neanderthals DNA developed in way as to protect our immunity during extreme ice ages. Yet we've only had grain agriculture for the last 8,000 or so years. DNA mapping and programming takes tens of thousands of years to change and mutate/evolve. Our bodies are designed to run on MCTs and saturated fats. Their is the argument for carbs as feul in sports yes, but generally for the regular human, we can survive and thrive quite nicely without carbs. Seems prudent to mention the lab tests and experiments over the years that showed how cancer tumours grew in the presence of carbs, but shrivelled and died when fed only proteins and fats. Great to see you have an actual medical professional on your chann who actually understands nutritional science. Keep the awesome content coming 💪
My cholesterol level is negatively affected by saturated fat, this is "fact" for me, maybe genetic but there you go... I live in the UK and my LDL was 8.5 which is quite high... I lowered my sat fat consumption to less than 20g per day using a macro tracking phone app and within 2months LDL went to 4.5, well within the healthy range.. No other changes no drugs...
W Davo that's what the science says. Good job. Videos like these are irresponsible. Neither of these guys are licensed dietitians.
Slothy you can't just say 'keto diets' do this and that because you don't know how any individual implements the guidelines. One may eat avocados, nuts, olive oil and salmon. Another may eat bacon, coconut oil, steak, sausage, cream, and butter all day. Both are high fat keto diets.
Slothy I disagree. I believe the American heart association's official statement against saturated fat and coconut oil. I also am not aware of evidence organic meat makes a difference on nutrition effect in the body. There is just opinion and politics and fear of the unknown. I don't know of any studies showing people improving their health with saturated fat.
Cholesterol isn’t bad for you. Your whole body uses it for almost everything.
I am so mad my grandmother died because of this. My grandmother used fat and lard and butter Wade 80 pounds overweight when she died she refused to take statins. She rarely went to the doctor. She cured herself with a lot of herbs and medicinal plants that she had in her backyard in Miami, she ate pork, bacon lard, She died 100 years old and two weeks. Just imagine if she wouldn’t have done any of these things. She could’ve lived to be 200. I’m really mad.!

Thanks guys. you're doing a great job educating us. Thanks a lot
This guy with a coat looks like he got asked on the streets if he wanna make 50 bucks.

Wow disrespectful

Thank you so much Mr. DeLauer. I have been in the medical field for many years working as a nurse with all kinds of doctors, and the truth is that the last person I will go for nutritional advice is a medical doctor. God Bless the doctors, but they do not teach nutrition in medical school is not part of their curriculum. That is why I really appreciate this video Mr. DeLauer. Thank you
Joe Anthony Morales I also am a nurse and work with a lot of doctors and guess what....most of them look terribly fat, sick, and unhealthy themselves. If they truly knew what is healthy in a diet, they wouldn't be in such terrible shape themselves. It's like who would you listen to first, a doctor smoking a cigarette telling you that you have to quit smoking, or a doctor whom doesn't smoke telling you to quit smoking.....probably the non-smoking doctor....exactly!
Right on
Joe Anthony Morales has
He's not even a real doctor
He's not even a real doctor lmao. People are so delusional
i'm from kerala where we use coconut oil in daily bases to cook mostly every dishes with it.
Great video!
What about Avocado Oil? Good for us?
the same as olive oil, not for cooking, good for salad
Thanks!
Avocado oil has good fats with a high smoke point. I would have thought it would be very good for cooking. Personally I'd use olive oil over butter too.
Slothy
From my readings it is the polyunsaturated fats that are unstable when heated and although there are some in olive oil and avacado oil, there is not that much.
Butter on the other hand is very low in polyunsaturates however, it show 3.3g per 100g of trans fats.
Coconut oil looks very good though. Very low polyunsaturates, no transfats but a low smoke point. So, coconut oil used at low heats might now be my choice of oils.
Eitherway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
No oil is good. Think about it, it takes 1400 olives to make 1 liter. It's all condensed energy with barely no nutrients or fiber. Olive oil is better than some other oils because of high anti-oxidants, but it's still 15% saturated. Olive oil is better than butter or lard or coconut. But at the end it's not good for the health and prevents arteries from stretching properly and you're better off as a human to get your fats from nuts.
Olive Oil is still safe to use in salads and things like that, right? Just don't fry or cook with it?
Old comment but yes! Don't fry with it!
@@WoWzX9 Still relevant. Thanks!
I lived in Asia for 2 years looked 20 years younger no eyebags deep wrinkles gone fish cooked in coconut jack fruit bananas everything picked an caught no power or fridge just island life
Thomas, thanks for this video. I am a registered nurse and use coconut oil everyday because of its health benefits. I appreciate this video because now I can share it with others who are unsure.
And how about cooking with coconut oil? Does anyone here?
i cook all the time with it ,,,i am never sick
Have you ever guys even went to Dr. Weiss website and see his bio?
Really love and appreciate your videos! Could you kindly advice how much time before workout must I consume this pre workout drink? Thanks a ton!
This is a wonderful interview, thank you!
Speaking of mad. I'm mad. Don't lie about your credentials. It's so irresponsible
Awesome stuff, I didn't believe those Liars that published that article anyway I know better. I lost 134 pounds , healed my left ventricular hypertrophy - all with the ketogenic diet and plenty plenty of coconut oil and butter, and I've never been healthier! Vegans or anti-low carb peeps spare your trolling, go bark at someone else! You are wasting your time talking smack to me! 😂😆 I know what Keto did for me and so do my Drs, I don't owe you any explanations. I know the truth because I live it! ✌👌👋
AlvinaRayne after reading all these comments I'm honestly concerned how easily a UA-cam celebrity can destroy people's health it's sad
+Fire Amen to that.
Awesome stuff? Are you talking about the guy in the video pretending to be a doctor. MFW he makes a claim that the article is false but provides no evidence
AlvinaRayne wow stupid people eat these high fat diets and still wonder why they get clogged arteries
Fire AMEN
Great video 📹
Thank you so much for this update;-).
I’m so confused and frustrated about this topic. There is so much conflicting info
Well just stop eating. Right now the only safe food is water. Just drink water.
@@kayondothomas7343 lol I dont even think the water is safe ..🤔☕👽
As someone who put an end to recurring arrhythmia with keto (including lots of coconut oil) I am grateful to people like this who are calling out the b*llsh*t that the medical establishment keeps spewing out.
Someone needs to tell my grandma who is now 93yrs old and still working in her garden to stop eating all that coconut oil and eating at least two or more avocados per day, “that’s ridiculous” is what I use to tell her, when I see her disregard for rational concern for the consequences of the amount of fat and calories and cholesterol that she would consume in a day. Even though she was not at all fat, as a matter of fact she is a little on the skinny side. She’s 5’3” maybe about 110lbs no heart issues or high blood pressure. Still I thought that was excessive. However she did get sick and was told that she had really high cholesterol one time AFTER, her doctor asked about her eating habits, and instead she cease using coconut oil and eating all that avocado as it could be very harmful to her health. He recommended that she would have better health by adding more grains and fruits and rest more. That’s when she started having issues with constipation and sleeping skin issues that she never had beforehand.She’s been doing good for the past three years she went back to Jamaica and she’s been doing the opposite of the doctor’s advice and she is great 👍
I’m not a doctor but I have been doing the same thing as her since February, plus I intermittent fast and I’m so much better off.
43lbs less than I was and bursting with energy!!!!!
COCONUT OIL BAD!!!!!
I DON’T RECOMMEND IT. Nope!
Hi Thomas, I can't find this guy's name on the American board of cardiologists. Please help me out.
I’m so mad too! My dad was taking a pill for high colesterol and after 2yrs he started to have some memory issues after I took him the doctor they said he had begging of demencia after more test they lower the doses of the colesterol medicine and he stopped having memory issues.
Get him on NIACIN flush version for cholesterol, also biontal black seed oil
stop lying. dr weiss is not a real doctor or a cardiologist. why dont you get an actual cardiologist to talk about this?
Because a real Cardiologist won't agree with him about Coconut Oil so he had to find a fake Doctor.
Great content.
Man i wish i knew what you know and did what you do to get and keep healthy. I will try to do my best from now on. Just today my second child was born and i want their daddy to be around for a long time.
How do you feel about Avocado Oil?
Jules Hodge, I was about to ask the same question! Also, was about to check if Thomas already did a video on it. I'm new to the channel and hooked, great content, and well articulated. Thanks, Thomas!!
Avocado oil would be in the same category as olive oil. They are both filled with mono fats which are fine when you eat them from the actual avocado or olive but not pressed into an oil and then used heated because they still break down faster than saturated and oxidize quicker.
I was looking for this question too. Avocado oil has a higher smoke point than coconut oil. Doesn't that mean it's better to cook with at high heat?
So i just found a video Thomas did a year a go about oils. He talks about avocado oil. Great for high heat cooking like i was thinking. ua-cam.com/video/DEh2yNKc410/v-deo.html
I'm sorry, but the argument is extremely flawed. Before anyone jumps the gun on me please note that I'm on the fence about coconut oil, simply because of the lack of studies, although I do lean towards it being unhealthy.
Coconut oil is full of saturated fat, abnormally high concentrations of it. Saturated fat found naturally in things such as avocados, walnuts, peanuts... Have trace amounts of it inside, alongside with a ton of fibre (the point I'm making here is that with food we need to look at the wholefood as a pose to the nutrient). The same goes for sugar, its like comparing apple juice to apples, but instead, coconut oil to coconut, a refined food! Not naturally found in primal diets (not to say that our diet has to be 100% primal).
Furthermore, the examples this doctor is making that 'as soon as margarine came out health got worse in the population' is quite pathetic; a wide range of things made our health worse and we can't pin it down to margarine.
Looking at the studies in favor of coconut oil, there isn't enough control and the crieteria is poor, for example, they are comparing the fat in coconut oil to the fat consumption of a NORMAL diet... Guys, a 'normal diet' causes heart disease, 'normal' diets have raised plasma cholesterol... 'normal' is a terrible criteria.
Where the main issue of coconut oil comes in (well, saturated fats specifically) is that they impair insulin sensitivity where the muscle fail to uptake glucose.
People will wonder, why does a ketogenic diet work? It works as an unsustainable short term solution where a lot of water weight is lost and a little bit of fat; but often as soon as the 'keto person' eats carbs, they put of fat. Why? Because of all the saturated fat (but perhaps saturated fats from animal products only? Maybe its the animal protein?) that inhibits glucose uptake by the muscle.
I personally have had days where I hve eaten a stupid amount of coconut oil, it tastes good, alongside with a normal amount of carbs. The next morning I lost 1 or 2 kg... This is misleading; I figured the reason is that the carbs got turned to fat instead of glygcogen, because... glycogen requires 3 grams of water for every gram of fat so its heavier! Fat is a very light weight form of energy storage... But of course we can't go by my personal experience.
Actually read the studies; and read them; researchers try and fuck us over in the abstract and conclusion when you need to look at methods and results as well.
The take away here:
- Coconut oil is NOT a whole food; eat coconuts instead
- Coconut oil as a source of fat is awesome... when compared to animal fat consumption (which comes with inflammatory baggage)
- More studies are needed
- This doctor is full of shit
- My experience doesn't account for all
Apoligies for grammatic errors, I cbf proof reading my post :)
danger of saturated fat is out of date
The analogy of looking at fats,like Carbs, in combination with the uniform information here makes for an excellent nutritional foundation. . . Thnx to you both!
I have just recently started using coconut oil, 1Tbs in the a.m. and 1 at night. I am already feeling the difference! I will continue this from now on!!
"Doctor"..... "doctor".
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to claim you're a cardiologist when you're not and more so claim you're on the board of a government organisation.
Are you now going to lose your position on the aha board?
Lisa The Beautician 😂 I hope he doesn't! If he does hopefully he makes a youtube channel and contradicts any BS they post!!
Lisa The Beautician will just vote for him & make him our next president so he won't need to be a doctor anymore 👌👍
he was never on it... he's a fraud
Lisa The Beautician can't lose something you never had
Lisa The Beautician he's a fraud
About a week ago I mentioned to a couple of co-workers I was using coconut oil and butter to make coffee and doing intermittent fasting. Not even 5 seconds later someone walked up and started touting the said report you referenced and how bad it (coconut oil) was. I chalk it up to the "crab in the pot" analogy. As soon as you start something and show some success, someone is bound to be jealous, or feel insecure and try and drag you back into the pot. Great post. Shared.
My daughter is an RN, and she read that article. Unfortunately she beleived it. Now she wants me to get rid of my coconut oil, beacause it’s bad for my heart. That is not going to happen. Last month I had a heart cath done. Zero problems, no stents, clean pipes, no build up. Proof positive.
I know I will probably get slammed by supporters, but I will share a co-relation I see in my country India. People from Kerala (a small state in India) has coconut oil as staple food. They make everything in coconut oil, coocnut milk, coconut chutney etc. They are like the diabetes capital of India. While rest of India is like 5-9% diabetic, Kerala sees 20% people Diabetic! I personally feel Saturated Fat with high sugar is primary reason for diabetes there, but then you have to take your own call. Pendulum keeps shifting as far as health is concerned you decide which side you are on :).
cbrcoder you are correct, the fat blocks the sugar from getting into the cells where it needs to go, which means it overloads the blood therefore causing diabetes. This is why you see high carb low fat plant based diets reversing heart disease and diabetes.
Do you know anyone who makes their own coconut oil? No? Why not? Because it's nearly impossible to do it without the machinery to process %100 oil fat from a coconut. How you can promote any oil as healthy is ridiculous lol if you want the benefits of a coconut, eat a fucking coconut like we are meant to...
coza10 . I totally agree with you. Coconut oil is a processed product.
cbrcoder maybe that area eats to much coconut. Everything in moderation.
Steve B nah bro coconut oil is bad, period
Steve B that logic is so flawed. If something is extremely unhealthy in huge amounts, it is still reasonably unhealthy in moderate amounts. You wouldnt say that smoking one cigarette a day is perfectly healthy because its in moderation?
