New Studies Show That Coconut Oil is Really Good For You
According to "The Latest Studies on Coconut Oil" by Mary G. Enig, PhD, recent research contradicts claims that coconut oil causes atherosclerosis and heart disease.
In these studies, from 2003- 2005, virgin coconut oil helped lower total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and low density lipoproteins (LDL). It was also shown to prevent in vitro LDL-oxidation (which is something that can start the process of atherosclerosis). There is also evidence that coconut oil is useful as a successful treatment for acute aluminum phosphide poisoning.
You don't have to worry about coconut oil being a "bad saturated fat." There is abounding evidence that coconut oil is far better for you than polyunsaturated vegetable oils. (And it doesn't even compare to the extremely unhealthy hydrogenated trans-fats.)
Coconut oil is full of healthy benefits. Next to mother’s milk, it is nature’s highest source of medium chain fatty acids (MTC’s), which raise the body’s metabolism, leading to weight loss. It has fatty acids such as lauric acid and monoglycerides, similar to mother’s breast milk.
When lauric acid is consumed in the body, whether through mother’s milk or coconut oil, it enhances the immune system to help the body fight infections, diseases, bad bacteria and yeast invasions. Lauric aid is known to be anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.
Coconut oil raises the metabolism, which helps people who are trying to lose weight and people suffering from thyroid problems. Coconut stabilizes the blood sugar levels, helping with diabetes. It also protects the heart cells from damage.
Isn't it about time you gave coconut oil a chance?
