Subject:	there is evidence coconut oil is unhealthy even at 30% of calories

I love your work Dr. Graham, and I follow the 80/10/10 but I still add coconut oil
to my diet because I've found no evidence that it is unhealthy even at 30% of
calories. The burden of proof is with you to counter the medical studies showing
that non-hydrogenated raw coconut oil is perfectly healthy and even protects
against atherosclerosis. The studies cited in this paper show that even at 32% of
calories from coconut fat, some Philipino tribes have serum cholesterol in a
range considered very healthy and more importantly have amongst the world's
lowest incidence of heart disease, atherosclerosis and stroke:
