Question:
What about coconut oil? Is that also not recommended following WFPB?
— Razi Lissy
Answer:
So here's the thing. Whole food plant-based, no oil means just that no oil. So in the, um, forks Over Knives class, you're not going to see, uh, the use of any oil. And I've been to many, many lectures by Dr. Caldwell, b Essel Jr. And, uh, Dr. Esselstyn always gets the question of, well, what about olive oil? And then he shakes his head, so, I'm going to say no to that. I'm not sure what kind of cooking you're doing. Um, but coconut is very high in fat, and it's something that especially cardiac patients should avoid. Again, I'm not a, a physician, but I'm just telling you, uh, what I know. So, but it's a very good question indeed.
