I was interviewed by the producer of this show but unfortunately the scope of the show was limited to Alzheimer's. I pleaded the case for including cholesterol and Parkinson's to no avail.
as a person with a science background, my opinion is that video lacked any proof that coconut oil helps alzheimer. i might be wrong, but the unnamed institution doing the trial is just starting and is funded by some unnamed organization. the canadian scientist isn't named. the 100's of testimonials weren't examined, the husband has regressed, his improved drawings - who witnessed them. not saying some people might benefit but that was about the quality of a poor infomercial in my opinion. just giving my honest opinion.
