Coconut oil and other superfoods
The health properties of superfoods are not alleged, but true, have long been proven and proven. Certainly, superfoods do not work miraculously, just simply in the long run, and every reasonable person knows that even after eating a whole packet of goji berries or spirulina will not suddenly get out of bed completely healed. Reasonable people also know that eating excessive amounts of anything can harm, as well as drinking a whole bottle of wine instead of one glass, for health.
The Spaniards treat the aforementioned goji fruit a bit like it was chewing gum, and in every kitchen olive oil reigns used for everything, even for spreading sandwiches. No one thinks of using poor quality oil and the same goes for coconut oil, which is extremely popular. Some even make scrambled eggs on it or fry spinach. Chia seeds are poured into water with lemon and drink as an energy drink, because it really is, or it is made of a gel – pudding with fruit. And all these products are not hailed as superfoods. These are normal products used quite widely.
By the way, and not joking at all, the most popular superfood in Spain is local ham, which meets the strict standards of cleanliness of breeding and nutrition. In the ripening form, it can be stored outside the refrigerator for a year and longer, nothing happens with it. In Poland, it is available in supermarkets, it is sold cut into thin slices.
Let’s get back to the article. The author claims that scientists have doubts about the operation of superfoods and that they are a mere marketing ploy, and at the same time informs immediately that we have excellent Polish counterparts. Do they work or not? Is it just about not buying goji berries because they are foreign, that is doubtful, and buying Polish berries instead, which are healthy by definition? By the way, the action of all the berries of the world is very similar, they have a lot of antioxidants and vitamins, lower sugar levels, have a detoxifying and anti-cancer effect.
The price list of dried Polish and foreign berries is dramatically bad for Polish products, so the author’s argument that prices for mysterious foreign superfoods are dizzy is untrue. Some are cheaper than Polish substitutes, others more expensive. A liter of extra virgin olive oil is expensive, and nobody questions it. Many people buy it because it is healthy. Why would a liter of unrefined coconut oil be cheap? After all, its production is probably even more expensive than olive oil. And it has nothing to do with the marketing ploy. And we all know about the harmful effects of Polish cheap refined oils.
