That's very true. However, for several decades users had a bot more trust in FOSS as not betraying the user in the same way commercial apps do. Atom is abusing this trust. Just because Microsoft is doing what they want in Windows world it doesn't mean they can do the same when flirting with developers and preaching their love for FOSS.
It doesn't help that coconut oil legitimately has anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that probably make it a benefit to foods that its added to, despite its possibly harmful lipid profile.
Perhaps that's the nuance that is missing in this debate that's needed. The shocker that foods can be simultaneously good and bad for you...
"Michels based her warning on the high proportion of saturated fat in coconut oil, which is known to raise levels of so-called LDL cholesterol, and so the risk of cardiovascular disease. Coconut oil contains more than 80% saturated fat, more than twice the amount found in lard, and 60% more than is found in beef dripping."
I am looking for a scientific write-up that shows the correlation of dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol as it pertains to coconut oil. This write-up should be a human study that shows a controlled test of a number of subjects consuming coconut oil vs not, and the direct correlation of dietary and blood cholesterol.
Please ignore my irony, but good luck funding that. Almost no well known food item would/has ever go through something like that as it would set you back several (tens) millions. The best you can hope for is a study where people report eating different substances in their daily lives and afterwards you draw conclusions from several biomedical read-outs. But that wont be cheap either, you would just be testing multiple things at once.
Good catch, thank you. In retrospective, I should have written 'to prove that there is no effect' since for that you would need a much bigger (and more diverse) cohort over a longer time frame. If you have a strong effect, this is obviously not necessary.
The claim made in the article is regarding saturated fats, not cholesterol, as dietary cholesterol is not obtained from plant sources like coconut oil. Plants do produce phytosterols, which compete with cholesterol for absorption & may lower serum cholesterol.
That is my understanding as well (regarding cholesterol) and that our knowledge of saturated fats as it pertains to health may not be as accurate as we once thought.
Yes to the web interface. VCS kinda, the jobs are all XML files, but Jenkins has built in change history like Wikipedia allowing reverts and comparisons.
