Coconut oil
-
Did anyone find any actual evidence for the classic coconut oil anecdote of pig fattening? In "From PMS to Menopause", Ray cites "Encyclopaedia Britannica, Book of the Year, 1946", but on the internet archive version there's no mention on giving coconut oil to pigs

I don't have an answer but there's another article author who cited two sources for that same info, Encyclopedia Brittanica book of the year 1946 and Boyce, James K. “Of coconuts and kings: the political economy of an export crop.” Development and Change 23.4 (1992): 1-25.
Found that at the bottom of this article: https://physicalculturestudy.com/2014/12/04/why-coconut-oil-isnt-fit-for-pigs/
I wonder if the info has been scrubbed, as other info has been. Personally i have my doubts about that but you never know ..

@FTMarinetti I thought I was going crazy, I was also unable to verify it despite searching any section I could think of relating to it.
