Harvard professor calls coconut oil 'pure poison' in viral talk on nutrition
Morgan Smith

A Harvard professor wants you to reconsider the dangers of consuming coconut oil, a popular trend within the wellness crowd as of late.

Self-appointed "wellness experts" and "health gurus" online promote coconut oil for its immune support, digestive help and as a healthier fat for cooking.

But in her German-language talk "Coconut Oil and Other Nutritional Errors," which is nearing 1 million views on YouTube as of Wednesday, Karin Michels, an adjunct professor at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, calls coconut oil "pure poison" and "one of the worst foods" she can name.

Michels is also the the director of the Institute for Prevention and Tumor Epidemiology at the University of Freiburg in Germany, where the talk took place July 10.

I just fried tempura shrimp in coconut oil for dinner. My husband uses it every morning for bulletproof coffee, which we also give (a little) to our nine-year-old. Saturated fats aren’t bad for us.

Dr. Oz is big into coconut oil; now, all of the grocers near us, have it in organic and not too pricey anymore, since everyone is selling it. When the "fad" first began, it was kind of expensive.

This woman is a kook and a professional azzhole. There is nothing wrong with this oil and it is delicious. People weren't getting fat when we were using this and other similar products.

Coconut Oil's safe.....except if you are a spider.  I know 2 or 3 home remedies where it is used for Spider Control.

I don't buy into the panic talk or the claims that coconut oil is a miracle health food.  I use olive oil for cooking, but coconut oil now and then is okay.  I keep a jar for my hair, lol.
