One of the most corporately-polluted areas of research I think is dietary fats.
I've heard and read Ray mention many times that coconut oil, by diluting the serum concentration of unsaturated fats, boosts thyroid function. In theory it makes perfect sense, and I think it's probably true, but I need to see the evidence.
A pubmed search for "coconut oil thyroid" didn't render any studies that concluded coconut oil boosted thyroid, and one study even concluded "Coconut oil generally raised total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to a greater extent than cis unsaturated plant oils." (Source:Coconut oil consumption and cardiovascular risk factors in humans. - PubMed - NCBI) If coconut oil boosted thyroid, then in theory, it would lower cholesterol because it would be turned into pregnenolone by the thyroid.
Can anybody show me some scientific evidence showing coconut oil boosts thyroid function?
