I was referring to coconut oil. Not sure about water

Your info is a little outdated. Coconut oil got a bad rap back in 94 bc of its saturated fat and use in movie theater popcorn. Since then a few thing have changed about our understanding that not all fats are created equal and same with cholesterol. The sat fat in coconut oil doesn't have the same artery clogging effects as the saturated fats in meats, for example.

Secondly, when coconut oil got its bad rap back in 90's, only the refined oil with very little nutrients was tested. The newest studies, and there are many, use the virgin unrefined coconut oil. As with any fats, even with healthy fats from avocado, olive oil, coconut oil etc should all be used in moderation around 1-2 tablespoons a day limit.

My dad is a Cardiologist and Internal Medicine doctor and after barely surviving stage 4 lymphoma cancer, used a lot of alternative medicine to supplement his treatments and has been become quite educated about health through nutrition and now work and speaks for American Cancer Society. As one of their associates, he has access to all the newest scientific studies and I can sasy find you the studies on coconut oil.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
