Over 50% of daily saturated fat!
Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholestrol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease.Some recent studies are refuting this claim. They explain that removal of saturated fats from our diet and their replacement with processed carbs has led to an increase in obesity and heart disease.There is no doubt that processed carbs are bad for you. But that does not mean that returning to saturated fats is good.

Learn about coconuts & saturated fat
Coconuts and coconut oil have been vilified due to the high saturated fat content. However, the main saturated fat in coconut oil and coconut milk is lauric acid, which is not as harmful, if at all, compared to saturated fats from animal sources.More research is required before we can recommend using coconut oils on an everyday basis, but a having a jar of coconut oil at home is probably not going to harm you.

Contains Carrageenan!
Carrageenan is an additive made from seaweed. It is used as a thickener in products such as ice cream, jelly, chocolate milk, infant formula, cottage cheese. It is a vegetarian and vegan alternative to gelatin.It has been used for hundreds of years in Ireland and China, but only made headway into modern food processing in the last 50 years. The processing steps after harvesting the seaweed include drying, grounding, filtration, treatment with potassium hydroxide, removal of cellulose by centrifuge, concentration by evaporation, drying, and grounding. Interestingly, the Philippines account for the vast majority of the world supply of carrageenan.In some animal studies, carrageenan was shown to cause intestinal lacerations and tumors. A 2001 meta-study of 45 peer-reviewed studies concluded that carrageenan consumption may result in gastrointestinal malignancy and inflammatory bowel.The FDA has approved carrageenan as safe, basing its decision on industry funded studies. European agencies and the World Health Organization have also deemed carrageenan safe, with the exception of infant formula. The fear is the a baby's gut may be unable to handle the large carrageenan molecules.In some individuals carrageenan may cause intestinal discomfort or worse.
