What is your opinion of olive oil?
Melissa-Thank you for you’re insight. I truly believe the Pharmaceutical companies want Nothing more then to keep us sick. It gives the government control while fattening the wallets of all involved in healthcare.
Thank you for writing this! Love it!
I have been using coconut oil for two years. My HDL cholesterol is 124 and my triglycerides are 33. I am 55 years old.
I agree 💯 %.
Thank you Melissa for always educating us. I love this article on this issue<3
Awesome post! Love that someone isn’t scared to share the honest truth behind some of those articles!
Thanks for sharing this! I knew there was money involved but did not have the time to research what was behind this idea. Thanks for laying out the facts or and giving a true perspective on what’s really going on. So sad that people are being lied to and it is costing them their lives.
Thank you for this opinion of coconut oil- I’m glad to hear it.
This may be unrelated but I’m wondering what you think of the video “what the health.”
In watching g that video it makes me wonder who or what to believe. Can you recommend a video, or resource, to contradict this information? Is it really harmful to eat meats and dairy?
Thank you,
Kelley
Where did you get the information that Dr. Frank Sacks received payments from Pfizer? Can you post your source for that information because I cannot find it any where. Thank you!
Does anyone have a link to the Pfizer support of this research and Dr. Sacks? Would love to have that information to share with my clients who are now questioning my advice. The only link I found was to this post. Thanks!
Great article. If you correct the punctuation/grammar in the final sentence, the impact would be a little stronger. I think I know what you’re saying, that both your article and the other article are all about money, but I had to read it several times. Even now, I’m not sure
I got it right.
Love this. You should write the author, challenging his article!
I knew it. When I first read the article yesterday, it sounded a little off. Hate that a professional would sell his soul for the mighty dollar and not care about the health of his patients. Sorry for them. Congratulations on posting this blog. We need more like this exposing the hard reality of the double talk in the medical field. Thank you.
Thank you for this! Your post confirms what I believe to be true as well!!!
I am like you . Even my dietician told me Coconut Oil was bad for you. She gave me a lot of other bogus crap that I knew was bad . Like artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. If you gotta use sugar use raw sugar . I do eat sweets occasionally but not like I would like to but I don’t drink soda, use sugar or sweeteners in my coffee, tea , oatmeal and watch the sugar content in other foods . No artificial sweeteners period.
Way to go Melissa!! You are absolutely “spot on” with this article and I consider what the AHA & Big Pharma are doing to be nothing less than a serious crime against humanity!!!!! Thank you for telling it like it is 🙂
Great post. Love your description on how vegetable oil is processed.
Hi, I’ve been reading up on the knife versus fork research. Have you read this study and it basically says all man made fats are bad/not necessary. I’d like your educated opinion.
Thank you for this Melissa! Amazing response to a misleading and biased article!
MELISSA IS A GENIUS!!!
[…] Melissa McAllister, on her blog Melissa Made also had an honest take. […]
Thank you for clearing up the confusion. I truly appreciate it! And I will continue to use coconut oil in my coffee, my shakeology and in my cooking. <3
I will also continue using coconut oil and MCT every morning in my Coffee..
I grew up in South America where coconut oil is the main oil for cooking..skin moisturizer, hair care.and coconut milk is used in our stews and rice…and I have no indications of heart disease of any kind. My skin has no wrinkles at 55 . Like you stated…its all about the money.
Have you considered writing the Heart Association and kindly pointing out your concerns about their research.
Good article!
Thanks for this passionate article.
I love my coconut oil & will continue using it. I’ll share this article with my friends.
How is cold pressed oil made?
Oh, and please don’t spam my email.
I totally agree. By the way I’ve studied this also. Licensed pharmacist
Been using & will continue to use my coconut oil, cream, milk, etc. Very seldon I believe anything I read anymore!
Were you ever able to find the source for this info? I am looking for it too.
It is tragic that in this day and age of so called “enlightenment ” money & power are what rule irrespective of consequences.
Girl preach!
I do not use coconut oil internally and my triglycerides reading is 57 and my HDL cholesterol is 54. I am 81 years old.
I just saw this on CBS This Morning last week and couldn’t believe what they were saying about coconut oil and how they said it was better to use corn oil or vegetable oil. I knew it was $$ talking and Big Pharma. What surprised me was that CBS let someone come on and spew this hogwash when I thought it had been well-known for many years that coconut oil was so good for you and the corn and vegetable oils were bad. Guess CBS is not as “with it” as I had thought.
All truth here Melissa. The sad truth is, most people do not educate themselves on this subject and blindly follow the advice of Dr’s. Very sad and oh so frustrating!
Dont believe this shit. Look up where they most likely got the facts lol. Probably from the heart association who is funded by pharaceutical companies…. Coconut oil is GOOD for you.
[…] voucher for some amazing meat!) and I cook the veggies in my cast iron first with a tiny bit of coconut oil, sesame oil or olive […]
