I think coffee ia hurting me
I note this article says that it is the extraction process that sometimes involves adding in extra potentially harmful artificial chemicals, rather than the refining process. Refining can remove potentially harmful naturally occurring chemicals. Also, it recommends refined for high heat cooking, because of the higher smoke point.
If someone does not react badly to refined or unrefined, then it is probably OK for them. We are not all the same.
There is some discussion in another thread about the possible greater desirability of hydrogenated coconut oil - ie even more highly saturated than in it's natural state.
Did you read Peat's article on coconut oil?

This forum is intended for discussing Peat's ideas, and people come here to learn about them. How about before you repeatedly assert the opposite of Peat's views, especially to a newcomer trying to learn what may be valuable to him from a Peat-inspired approach, you take some time to read Peat's ideas. If you then wish to bring some contrary viewpoints, head into the Debate area, and consider addressing what Peat actually says, and bringing some relevant evidence or reasons to support your views. Or heading into the Other Theories area.
That doesn't mean you have to accept or agree with anything Peat says, it's just about the purpose of this forum.
