I've made a new video against low-carb diets

No. That’s a false dilemma. In science we say as much as we can say based on the evidence we have, and we don’t say more until we have evidentiary support for it. In this case, we can make reasonable inferences based on the available data and use them to set guidelines for saturated fat intake, but what we cannot do is say “coconuts cause heart disease.” 

 
How was that ambiguous?


Without a crystal ball, I’m not sure how any reasonable, evidence-minded person could make such an assertion as “they would have developed heart disease if only they didn’t die in that car crash.” How could anyone possibly know that? Have you any idea the myriad of factors that play a role in disease manifestation and progression? It’s not just one bio-marker.


Of course they can. I was a clinical dietitian at a nursing home for several years. Almost every one of my residents had dislipidemia, lol. 

To be frank, I don’t think someone who still has so many questions (and I’m glad you have questions; that’s how we learn) should be posting YouTube videos from a place of self-ascribed authority on any of these issues; especially with the audacity to call opposing views “obvious nonsense.” I encourage you to take some courses in nutrition and dietetics if you’re interested in the subject, and spend a few years learning before making further clinical declarations about medical nutrition therapy and posting them to the internet.

OK, let's say you are right, that there is not enough evidence for us to be certain that coconuts cause heart disease. So what? There is certainly even less evidence that they are safe, much less beneficial to people with type-2-diabetes.

That’s why we have guidelines in place for saturated fat intake that are updated when new data becomes available. What is your obsession with coconuts? It’s weird.
