"Organic
virgin
coconut
oil
stands
alone as
being
the
healthiest
oil that
you can
use. It
possesses
a
plethora
of
health
benefits,
and the
research
to
substantiate
it. I
strongly
encourage
you to
make
organic
virgin
coconut
oil part
of your
daily
nutritional
plan."

"Coconut oil has a
unique role in the
diet as an important
physiologically
functional food. The
health and
nutritional benefits
that can be derived
from consuming
coconut oil have
been recognized in
many parts of the
world for centuries.
A review of the
diet/heart health
literature relevant
to coconut oil
clearly indicates
that coconut oil is
at worst neutral
with respect to
atherogenicity of
fats and oils, and
in fact is likely to
be a beneficial oil
for [heart health].
Additionally,
coconut oil provides
a source of
antimicrobial
lipids [to support
an
individual's] immune
system, and is a
non-promoting fat
with respect to
chemical
carcinogenesis."

“Never before in the
history of man it is
so important to
emphasis the value
of lauric oil. The
medium chain fats in
coconut oil are
similar to fats in
mother’s milk and
have similar
nutriceutical
effects”.

VIRGIN COCONUT OIL -
medium chain fatty
acids (MCFAs)
The unique health
benefits of virgin
coconut oil are
directly related to
its chemical
structure, or more
precisely, the
length of its fatty
acid chains. Virgin
Coconut Oil is
comprised of
medium-chain fatty
acids (MCFAs), also
called medium-chain
triglycerides or
MCTs.
Virgin Coconut Oil
is nature’s richest
source of these
healthy MCFAs.
By contrast, most
common vegetable or
seed oils are
comprised of long
chain fatty acids (LCFAs),
also known as
long-chain
triglycerides or
LCTs.
There are several
reasons to explain
why long-chain fatty
acids are not as
healthy for you as
the MCFAs in coconut
oil:
1.
LCFAs are
difficult for the
body to break down
-- they must be
packaged with
lipoproteins or
carrier proteins and
require special
enzymes for
digestion.
2.
LCFAs put more
strain on the
pancreas, the liver
and the entire
digestive system.
3.
LCFAs are
predominantly stored
in the body as fat.
(That's why most
people buy into the
myth that fats are
automatically
"fattening".)
4.
LCFAs can be
deposited within
arteries in lipid
forms such as
cholesterol.
On the other hand,
however, the MCFAs
in coconut oil are
healthier, because:
1.
MCFAs are
smaller. They
permeate cell
membranes easily,
and do not require
lipoproteins or
special enzymes to
be utilized
effectively by your
body.
2.
MCFAs are easily
digested, thus
putting less strain
on your digestive
system. This is
especially important
for those of you
with digestive or
metabolic concerns
3.
MCFAs are
sent directly to
your liver, where
they are immediately
converted into
energy rather than
being stored as fat.
4.
MCFAs in coconut oil
can actually help
stimulate your
body's metabolism,
leading to weight
loss.
