Ray said: "animals on coconut oil got lean". this study say the opposite?

rp: "In the l940s, farmers attempted to use cheap coconut oil for fattening their animals, but they found that it made them lean, active and hungry."
"animals which ate just a little pure unsaturated oil were fat, and animals which ate a lot of coconut oil were lean"

" when fed an excess-calorie, high-fat/cholesterol/fructose diet rich in coconut oil, female Ossabaw pigs developed obesity"

Effects of coconut oil on glycemia, inflammation, and urogenital microbial parameters in female Ossabaw mini-pigs

Forty percent of American women are obese and at risk for type II diabetes, impaired immune function, and altered microbiome diversity, thus impacting overall health. We investigated whether obesity induced by an excess calorie, high fat diet containing hydrogenated fats, fructose, and coconut...

its also possible that fructose makes the ossabaw pigs fat ofcourse.

They fed them *double* the amount of calories of the control group, and even then the fatted up animals ended with less inflammatory markers, less arachidonic acid and less insulin. So even tho they gained weight they were metabolically healthier

Every farmer double the amount of calories if the want fed up there stock.
So i don't think the amount of kcal makes a difference in both study's.

They didn't just add coconut oil to increase the calories. The calories from the coconut oil were only a small part of the surplus calories.

The obese diet utilized in this study was comprised of a base pelleted pig feed (5L1G; custom formulated by Purina TestDiet, Inc., Richmond, IN, USA) supplemented with hydrogenated soybean oil (8.4%), coconut oil (4.7%), high fructose corn syrup (5.0%), cholesterol (2.0%), and sodium cholate (0.7%) by weight. The lean diet fed in this study was the Rund Diet (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA) comprised of corn (57.5%) and soy (40.0%) supplemented with vitamins and minerals. During the six-month study period, lean pigs (n = 2) were fed approximately 2000 kcal of the pelleted lean diet per pig per day, and obese pigs (n = 3) were fed approximately 4570 kcal of obese diet per pig per day. [...] The obese phenotype was induced over three months of dietary treatment (induction phase), following which the diets continued to be fed at the same levels for an additional 3 months (maintenance phase).
