Harvard University Professor Slams Coconut Oil, Says, 'It's Pure Poison

A Harvard Professor Professor Karen Michels has made some controversial comments concerning coconut oil in a lecture posted on YouTube.

Business Insider Deutschland reports that the video, which had garnered 400,000 hits, comes after the American Heart Association advised people to avoid coconut oil.

In the talk, titled “Coconut oil and other nutritional errors,” Michels described coconut oil as “pure poison” and “one of the worst foods you can eat.”

Karen Michels, the Director of the Institute for Prevention and Tumour Epidemiology at the University of Freiburg and a professor at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, has caused a bit of a stir online.

Coconut oil superfood status had already come under scrutiny in 2017 after the American Heart Association updated its guidelines, which recommended that people avoid the saturated fatty acids found in coconut oil.
