Sufficed to say that doctor were somewhat astounded to find that coconut oil reduced the chance of heart disease by a huge 15%.They also said more research was needed(they always do)so time to eat a bit of humble pie.Must be something in it as the doctors were genuinly surprised.
Pies are not very good if you're on a diet

I must admit I was not expecting them to show it in a good light for some reason, it was a pleasant surprise when they gave out the results..
