### Title | **Definiendum** | **Definiens** | |:-------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **S** | a given saturated fat source (x) increases LDL-C at a similar rate to other saturated fat sources | | **L** | a given saturated fat source (x) has no other known qualities that counteract said increase in LDL-C | | **R** | there is a reason to believe that such a saturated fat source (x) is any better for heart health than other saturated fat sources that increase LDL-C | | **c** | coconut oil |
P1) If a given saturated fat source increases LDL-C at a similar rate to other saturated fat sources and and a given saturated fat source has no other known qualities that counteract said increase in LDL-C, then there is not a reason to believe that such a saturated fat source is any better for heart health than other saturated fat sources that increase LDL-C.
(∀x(Sx∧Lx→¬Rx))
P2)
Coconut oil increases LDL-C at a similar rate to other saturated fat sources
(Sc)
P3)
Coconut oil has no other known qualities that counteract said increase in LDL-C.
(Lc)
C)
Therefore, there is not a reason to believe that coconut oil is any better for heart health than other saturated fat sources that increase LDL-C.
(∴¬Rc )
