In early 1960’s, the United States kept spreading the word that coconut oil was a dangerous oil. Coconut oil was positioned as a very dangerous saturated fat that could risk human’s health. Some business-oriented parties started a campaign against this oil. They intended to stop the dependency for tropical oils. The next thing they promoted was corn oil and soybean oil for exchange, then…when they switched from coconut oil to our modern oils, we saw a significant increase in obesity and the health problems that our modern society faces.
Heart disease became a nightmare in the United States and this is the turning point of all the negative campaigns against virgin coconut oil…
For decades, most people assumed that coconut oil had a significant relationship with the cholesterol-rich plaques in blood vessels. Unlike hydrogenated coconut oil, virgin coconut oil is derived from fresh coconuts without bleach, solvents, nor heating in the process. Approximately 50% of the fatty-acids in coconut oil are lauric acids. In human body, lauric acids is processed to be monolaurin, which functions as an anti-virus, anti-bacteria and anti-protozoa!
Therefore, virgin coconut oil is highly potential in treating diseases starting from influenza to AIDS…
When used correctly and regularly, virgin coconut oil could help you keep your skin soft and smooth. It also helps prevent premature aging and wrinkling of your skin. But, once again…when applied correctly and regularly.
Coconut oil has a pleasant taste, does not go rancid (even after a year) like other oils and has health benefits instead of health detriments. It has provided many health benefits to the tropical people for generations who are known for their physical beauty. These people rarely suffered from heart disease, cancer, diabetes or other illnesses that haunt modern America. According to the people who use coconut oil regularly it can reduce the risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions, improves cholesterol levels and helps to fight heart disease, improves digestion and nutrient absorption, contains antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal agents that prevent infection and disease.
Coconut oil doesn't turn to fat in your body. The trans fats stay in the bloodstream and eventually collect as fat in the vessels and body. Coconut oil goes straight to the liver and is converted to energy. This “good” oil speeds up your body’s metabolic rate, causes you to burn calories and in this manner you will loose weight. "
But did you know that saturated fat may keep you from having a heart attack or stroke. This probably sounds like heresy to most of my readers but your body needs saturated fat for heart health and to nourish your brain, nerves and hormones. Every cell membrane is ideally made up of 50% saturated fat including your brain.
Yes, I've read the negative publicity but the truth is that it can help you lose weight and is perfect for heart health.
