And then the big one. The big lie.

As far as I can establish, there is no credible scientific evidence that coconut oil can offer any of these health claims. While it might be good for your skin, it's not a miracle cure. If it was, people would have earned Nobel Prizes for medicine by now.

It's a lie.
