Corinne, thank you for your comment. Considering the staggering number of growing diabetes cases in the US, I’m wondering exactly what the American Diabetes Association is contributing. I’m sure they mean very well, but… Fat is essential for every cell in your body and also slows the absorption of glucose/sugar into the bloodstream – something that can be very helpful for diabetics. Too much of anything can stimulate poor health, and in the case of diabetes I wouldn’t be blaming fat. I’d look to too many starches and sugars. Additionally, I checked the American Diabetes Association website and browsed their recipes. Some ingredients and dishes are: fettuccine, risotto, canola oil, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, white whole-wheat flour, French Toast, waffles… I would never suggest that a diabetic eat these foods!!! This is ludicrous! To be fair, they do have some recipes and ingredients that would be fine, but not the ones I mentioned.
Also, how much more money do they need people to donate before they find a cure, if that’s what they’re looking for. There is a “cure” and it consists of simple dietary changes, exercise, supplements, and stress management. The information is out there and diabetes has been reversed by many people. Considering that diabetes is only becoming an increasingly prevalent problem, I’m wondering what sort of credit this organization deserves. The “American Diabetes Association” sounds so “official”, and as if they are the experts. Given the track record of Americans with diabetes, I can’t figure out what they are experts in.
Coconut oil is by far one the healthiest oils in existence, even with it’s high saturated fat content. That’s the topic of a future article.
By the way, I googled “Weight Loss Cover-Up Exposed” and learned little except that I can buy a book. Regardless, I hope your question and my response helps other readers, and thanks again for the comment.

The American Diabetes Association suggests an specific restrictions their saturated fat intake to about 7% per day but a usual Western diet gives you around 40%. Considering that too much fat stimulates poor health, it would be better to limit fats including those in coconut oil that have a higher risk of promoting health complications since most Americans get way a rediculous amount of saturated fat anyway. Google “Weight Loss Cover-Up Exposed” by Astrid Lasco, to find the truth about what really makes us sick. Read it people!

Duh, I never thought about the importance of antioxidants in your body when taking fish oils but it makes sense. Thanks!
