1. Why don't you tell us, since you think this is an important study,
how many MI's there were in the palm vs. the soybean groups?

I never made a judgement on the importance of the study because I
don't have the full text. The abstract indicated that there were
significantly mor MI's in the palm oil group.

2. What about all the studies that suggest the opposite? Should a
person add them up, and whichever category has more, that is what one
should follow? Or should a person begin by a molecular-level
understanding, and then work up to the tissue/organ level, and finally
to "epidemiological studies?" Or do you propose something else?

The saturated fats have disadvantages on physical properties because
of their higher melting point causing them to accumulate in the
abdominal cavity.

Saturated fats are not metabolized as well as unsaturated fats, giving
rise to additional fat deposits.

The phospholipid layers on cells when dominated by satured fatty acids
reduce the ability of the cells to function.

3. The study you cite does not control for antioxidant content, which
is important, because both oils are rich in unsaturated oils. I could
do the same experiment and get the same results. How? By using the
best quallity soybean oil and the worst quality palm oil.

The supply of vegetables is good in most warmer climates resulting in
high levels of antioxidents.

4. If saturated fatty acids are to blame, how are the millions of
Asians consuming large amounts of coconut oil (which is 92% saturated
fatty acids) not dropping dead like flies from MI?

I have pointed out in previous posts that Malaysia suffers from higher
CVD despite their high consumption of coconut oil.

5. Have you ever even considered the possibility that highly
unsaturated fat sources (including palm and lard) are potentially very
dangerous, whereas something like coconut oil is not? Or is this a
thought that you cannot tolerate on any level?

Palm oil is high in saturated fats, lard is lower, but beef fat is
high in saturated fat. Palm kernel oil is very high in saturated fatty
acids.

There isn't anyway for consumers to know if coconut oil has been
prepared in a safe manner, so people are better off avoiding it.
