I just realized that after reading about the diets of exceptionally healthy people in their 90s and older and I've never seen the word coconut once. I've seen they eat chocolate, bacon, eggs, olive oil, milk but never seen the word "coconut" in the context of a supercentenarian or really anyone over 90 tbh.
Then I started doing searches online, abstracts and I still can't find anything where you would decide to eat lots of coconut anything. I didn't see anything on lauric acid either but I'm assuming there's something out there.
So I couldn't say you should tell your elderly parents to switch from olive to coconut oil based on anything I've seen and I didn't see anything suggesting mct oil could increase longevity either (but there is research that it could improve Alzheimer's).
People are here for different reasons which is probably why I've never seen anyone even bring up the topic...ever. This just struck me as a strange oversite. Why aren't members in their 60s and 70s interested in this?
Hopefully we can sort this out and determine whether coconut is good for longevity for everyone including the senior members or people caring for seniors.
