Cuckoo for Coconuts

In the 1930s, Weston Price visited the South Pacific and discovered a couple of things.  First, he found the people to be exceptionally healthy and fit with very little incidence of heart disease.  He also discovered that their diet was rich in coconut products.
Coconuts are high in saturated fats.  But as we’re starting to learn, there are good saturated fats and bad saturated fats.  The fat in coconut provides the body with an excellent source of energy.  It boosts HDL, the good cholesterol.  And it actually promotes heart health.  Unlike many other saturated fats that contribute to it.
