History has proven in fact that the fear of using coconut oil as a source of disease from heart disease and others because there are bad fats is a lie, all made so that coconut oil users switch to vegetable oil which turns out to be a surprising fact, vegetable oil is unhealthy.
Starting from a campaign that has been carefully planned by ASA to be able to quickly get rid of this imported tropical oil rival. In the decades of the 1960s to the 1970s, research has been carried out to produce facts showing that some forms of saturated fat are a risk factor for developing disease sources such as heart disease, therefore saturated fat is also considered a component that unwanted in the food consumed by the wider community and the less saturated fat you consume the better your health will be.
Using society's fear as a weapon to scare people away from saturated fat as well as feelings of connection with heart disease, the issuer, ASA, sets out to create a health crisis. The crisis he had planned was so dire that it could literally scare people away from using coconut oil.
After that, in 1986, the ASA sent a fat fighting device or what is known as a “Fat Fighter Kit” to soybean farmers to encourage them to write to existing government officials, to food companies and also to some cooking oil users whose contents protested the interference from fats. highly saturated tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil.
Not only that, the wives and families of about 400,000 soybean farmers are encouraged to spread across the country in the form of lobbying efforts and also tout the health benefits of soybean oil.
Groups of meaningful but misguided health, such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which joined in this war, also issued news that mentioned palm oil and coconut oil as well as palm seeds as fats that can clog people's blood vessels. consume it.
A non-profit consumer activist group has finally criticized saturated fat since its founding in the 1970s, as almost all nutrition advisors at that time actually mistakenly believed that all saturated fat was the same and attacked it with all its might.
