Here&#8217;s what he said:<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Welch, the whole brouhaha around coconut oil \u201cis that it\u2019s virtually 100% saturated fat, containing 82% of saturated fat compared to butter, containing 63% of saturated fat,\u201d which, when consumed in large amounts, \u201ccan lead to heart disease,\u201d he explains. But Pasquella wants us to understand that \u201cthe American Heart Association is only focusing on cholesterol and ignoring all the other benefits of this amazing substance. We know the key to prevention of disease starts with a low-inflammation diet, and coconut oil is a low-inflammatory substance. The AHA is now recommending to replace coconut oil with vegetable oil, [which is] a very inflammatory oil,\u201d she warns. When it comes to MCT oil, saturated fat content isn\u2019t an issue, \u201cbut the problem with it is that it\u2019s controversial if it has any true health benefits,\u201d cautions Dr. Welch, as it hasn\u2019t been studied thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Welch&#8217;s medical expertise was used to cover the subject in <a href=\"http:\/\/coveteur.com\/2017\/07\/07\/coconut-oil-health-compare-mct-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coveteur<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shape.com\/healthy-eating\/diet-tips\/coconut-oil-might-not-be-healthy-you-think\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shape magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manhattan Cardiology&#8217;s own Dr. George Welch was recently quoted in Coveteur Online about health implications of consuming coconut oil and MCT oil.
