087: Dr. Jay on the Inflammatory AHA, Coconut Oil and Sugar

By Scott Mulvaney | 06/26/2017

087-The Return of Dr. Anthony Jay on the AHA, Saturated Fat and Sugar

Dr. Estrogeneration Returns on the Inflammatory AHA and Their Attack on Coconut Oil:

We welcome back our prior co-host, the Doctor of Estrogeneration, to discuss Coconut Oil. He helps me reflect on the Inflammatory and incorrect education that the AHA recently published around the amazing Coconut and Saturate Fats. The American Heart Association has a social responsibility to educate on a balanced platform. They are paid by big Pharma and Agriculture groups, so we get to read about incorrect direction on the consumption of healthy fat sources. Articles like, “Saturated fats: Why all the hubbub over coconuts?”

To say that saturated fat is bad, as a blanket statement, I think that is absurd! – Dr. Anthony G. Jay

[spp-timestamp time=”04:00″] Many AHA scientists aren’t actually working with real people in relation to their nutrition.

[spp-timestamp time=”43:00″] Inflammation is the root cause. For example, eating a poor diet triggers inflammation in the body.

Final Words:

Coconut Oil is good for your because the fatty acids in coconut oil are so small that your body has to burn them as fuel or you get diarrhea and eliminate them that way. Not only is it anti-fungal, anti-microbial, it has other health benefits like anti-cancer. Coconut Oil you have to burn as energy, it’s healthy because you have to burn it as fat.
