Almost all of those are protein and vitamins - good for you. Then there are some carbs. Not horrible.

Even sunflower oil gets a bad rap bc it's assoc w proc foods but it's fine just don't get it too hot or overconsume:

Coconut oil's sat fat is highly contested and mixed. Very hard to untangle its effects but it seems to be nonlinear: A little seems okay.

Excess vitamins may in fact be bad for you in some situations. Studies using antioxidants A, C, and E found they can accelerate cancer growth.

Wouldn't most food accelerate cancer growth? Cancer needs nutrients to grow the same way normal cells do.
