It’s often described as a healthy alternative to other oils, but it seems that coconut oil may not be as good for your health as you thought.
Speaking at Harvard University, Dr Karin Michels, an expert in epidemiology at the university, called coconut oil ‘one of the worst foods you can eat’.

She even went so far to tag the oil as ‘pure poison.’ During her talk, titled ‘Coconut Oil and other Nutritional Errors’, Dr Michels explained that eating superfoods was unnecessary, because we already get enough nutrition from everyday foods.

She said:
“We are well and sufficiently supplied.” This isn’t the first time that experts have warned about the dangers of coconut oil.
Victoria Taylor, a dietician at the British Heart Foundation, said:

“There has been speculation that some of the saturated fat present in coconut oil may be better for us than other saturated fats, but so far there is not enough good-quality research to provide us with a definitive answer.”
Worryingly, coconut oil is about 86 per cent saturated fat which is about one-third more than in butter.

Ms Taylor added:
“We know that diets high in saturated fat are associated with increased bad (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, and high cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke.”

Norway authorities are set to prescribe free heroin to drug addicts in a bid to improve their living conditions.
The government announced yesterday that the most critical addicts will be given the drug in the trial programme, which could start by 2020.

The country, which recorded the highest deadly drug overdose rates in Europe is hoping that the scheme will benefit up to 400 addicts.

The Norwegian Directorate for Health and Social Affairs has been charged with proposing an experimental project to identify patients likely to benefit from the programme, to evaluate the implementation method, and to calculate the costs.

Health Minister Bente Hoie stated:
‘We hope that this will provide a solution that will improve the quality of life to some addicts who are out of our reach today and whom current programmes do not help enough.’

Thibaut Courtois uploaded a lengthy farewell message to Chelsea fans, but moved quickly to delete it.
Chelsea made an announcement on Wednesday that the club has agreed to sell Courtois to Real Madrid, and the stopper will be unveiled officially on Thursday in Madrid.

Courtois made Chelsea fans angry when he refused to return to training this week in an attempt to force the Blues to approve his move to the Spanish giants

The Belgian stopper did the same thing when he wanted to join Chelsea from Genk, but Courtois did try to give explanation in a goodbye post to supporters.

‘Hello CFC Family,’ Courtois stated:

‘With these few words I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the four fantastic years that have passed. Chelsea FC will always have a special place in my heart. ‘I was only nineteen years old when the club showed a great belief in my abilities. The fact that such a big club was already following me was like a dream come true. The decision to first send me away helped me to grow into a goalkeeper fit for Chelsea FC.
