Coconut oil happens to be a good addition to the diet. Seems strange since he'll also claim that you need to reduce saturated fat to be heart healthy. I wonder if he realizes coconut oil is 90% saturated fat?
He didn't recommend coconut oil because he believes in it. He'll put everything that appears in a woman's magazine on his show at least once. Raspberry ketones, alli, green bean extract, hgc, etc. There's no filter for which are truly good (almost none) and which are scams. It's like that old saying: Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
