Coconut Oil
There has been a campaign recently to brand Coconut Oil as having just as much fat as butter, therefore not any healthier.
Today, this from Dr. Mercola's FB page "50% of the fat content in coconut oil is lauric acid which your body converts into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties. Coconut oil is about 2/3 medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which produce a whole host of health benefits, including stimulating your metabolism. MCFA's are also immediately converted to energy so like avocados, coconut oil is an ideal replacement for carbs." Thoughts? |
Hi Rick!
Hi Sweety,
I use coconut oil all the time for cooking, as it is the only oil that can be heated at high temp. And not become toxic. I use it instead of butter. I have customers that uses it as face and body oil. Dont you just love getting Dr. Mercola's emails every day..so much info!! Take care and Happy Holidays!!! Pema xx |
Great info - thank you :)
Coconut oil is also good for digestion and it's a great anti-fungal too and does amazing things on dry winter skin. Inside or out it is something that we should use more of! |

I love it when the powers that held sway before try to dethrone something to keep their market share. So obvious and so common. |
So here is the thing...I do not like coconut...I never have since childhood.
BUT, for some reason, I am really drawn to coconut oil and most recently coconut water. So, obviously there are some components there that my body needs. Just my 2cents~ |
