regarding the benefits of coconut oil you said:

..

 

It is not recommended that people with heart,artery disease or high colesterol use it for cooking however,as it is high in colesterol.These people shoild use virgin olive oil for cooking.

 

I beg to differ........

(a) I do NOT believe people with so called high cholesterol are at risk of heart disease

and

(b) Cholesterol is only found in foods sourced from mammals, birds or fish, and since oats are a grain product they do not contain cholesterol. An easy way to remember which foods contain cholesterol is to ask yourself whether the product came from something that used to walk, fly or swim. If so, it contains cholesterol.

Scientists have recently discovered a powerful new weapon against heart disease. As surprising as it may seem, this new weapon is coconut oil. Yes, ordinary coconut oil. Eating coconut oil on a regular basis can reduce your chances of suffering a heart attack!

Chronic disease wreaks havoc on the American populace. One million Americans suffer from AIDS; eight million have cancer, and twelve million battle heart disease. However, there is one disorder that afflicts more individuals than the combined total of all of these other potentially deadly disorders, and, surprisingly, it is rarely mentioned. Thirty-eight million Americans are victims of digestive disorders, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, celiac disease, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, GERD, candida and food allergies.

Certain fats have anti-microbial properties. People with digestive disorders often suffer from

candida (yeast), fungi, parasites, viruses and other unfriendly microorganism invasions as a result of damaged digestive terrain. Anti-microbial saturated fats help to combat these; the two best sources are coconut oil and butter from grass-fed dairy cattle. Coconut oil is anti-viral, and contains lauric, capric and caprylic acids--recommended to combat candida. Coconut oil is so beneficial for digestive health that years ago a person suffering from Crohn’s disease wrote to "Dear Abby" insisting that eating macaroons eliminated symptoms of the disease. The macaroons contained sugar, white flour, bad oils and guess what. . . 6 to 8 grams of fats from coconut! Even amidst the bad ingredients, the fatty acids in coconut oil helped this person with Crohn’s!

All current research data declaring the harmfulness of coconut oil has been compiled from studies using hydrogenated oils. The conclusions drawn in these studies cannot factually be applied to the use of unprocessed tropical oils. All hydrogenated fats and oils, including margarine, shortening and all other hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils found in cookies, candies, baked goods, boxed to bake items, canned foods and most restaurant foods contribute to degenerative diseases including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, stroke, depression, hypoglycemia, thyroid disorders and cancer.

SourceCoconut milk is not the juice from the inside of a young coconut. That thin liquid is called coconut water. Coconut milk is made by steeping the coconut and scraping out the meat, adding just enough water to simmer and mashing the end product into a thick, milky substance called coconut milk.The coconut oil or coconut milk must be un-preserved. Equivalents are:

 

2-3 tablespoons of the unprocessed coconut oil daily

1/3 can of the coconut milk twice a day (5 ounces twice a day)

1/2 coconut steeped, mashed and eaten dailyWhen choosing a brand of canned coconut milk, select the one with the highest fat content for the price.Coconut oil that has been kept at room temperature for a year has been tested, and showed no evidence of rancidity.Reasons For UseCoconut oil lowers cholesterol if it is high and raises it if it is too low. Coconut oil is unique in its ability to prevent weight-gain or cure obesity, by stimulating the metabolism. It is quickly metabolized, and functions in some ways as an antioxidant. Every study using natural, unprocessed coconut oil found a normalizing of cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure. This is also true of extra virgin olive oil, peanut oil and avocado oil.Within a week, abnormal cortisol levels show improvement indicating adrenal restoration using vitamin B1, B complex and coconut milk. Patients seem more awake, their mood, energy and memory improves, and sleep becomes more normal.Coconut oil is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal in the originating plant, in our gut and in our blood. Reducing seed oil consumption and using coconut milk or coconut oil as the dietary staple is reversing viral loads in HIV, eliminating all types of herpes virus and reducing or preventing other viral diseases including the yearly 'flus' and measles. The antiviral effect seems to be against lipid-enveloped viruses and is due to the presence of lauric acid in coconut oil.In animal studies, feeding unprocessed coconut and coconut oils prevented tumor development, both malignant or benign.

Coconut Oil consists of medium chain fatty acids MCFA, such as lauric acid. These fats contain only about 8, 10 or 12 carbon atoms, instead of the 18 or 20 contained in other vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc. As a result of the shorter molecule length, the body does not need to use a relatively scarce CPT enzyme as it does for the longer 18-20 carbon oils. Medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil are digested rapidly in the liver, instead of circulating in the body and being stored as fat tissue deposits.

For cooking, coconut oil has a higher smoke point than does butter. It is also less sensitive to spoiling or becoming rancid, although it should still be handled with care.

 

How Much Coconut Oil Should You Eat Per Day?Studies support replacing other fats in your diet with coconut oil, up to 2 or 3 tablespoons per day. It is important not to add more oil into your diet, if possible. Instead, simply replace "long-chain triglyceride" poly-unsaturated vegetable oils like corn, safflower, cottonseed, sunflower and soybean oils with coconut oil. You may continue to use extra virgin olive oils as usual -- trade coconut oil for the other oils in your diet. If you have already removed the other oils and you're using nothing but olive oil now, simply add a total of two or three tablespoons of coconut oil to your drinks, vegetables, salad dressings, and so on each day. Be creative... it's healthy!

 

 

Which Kind Of Coconut Oil Is Best?Avoid Hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated coconut oil that is often used in non-dairy creamers, and snack foods. Buy only "virgin coconut oil" -- a natural, organic and purified coconut oil that has never been "hydrogenated", heated or exposed to long storage and other processing. Buy the freshest oil you can find. Be picky. Lauric acid and other medium-chain fatty acids can spoil and become horrible tasting; even becoming unhealthy if things go far enough. Never store your coconut oil for more than 2 months. Refrigerate after opening. Store it only in tightly sealed screw-on or snap-on lids. Glass bottles are preferred to plastic or metal containers.

 

 

Coconut Oil Health BenefitsOver the last 40 years, scientific peer reviewed studies have shown these benefits to coconut oil medium chain fatty acids: (1,2,3,4,5...)

 

 

Fights many bacterial infections, including H.Pylori (the cause of most ulcers) (43)

Fights many viral infections, including Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) (44)

Increases daily energy expenditure (22)

Increases dietary taste and "mouth feel" appeal

Makes reduced portion size meals appetizing

Reduces overall food intake by extending post-meal satiation period (37)

Improves overall glucose metabolism (27-34, 40)

Improves NIDDM (type 2 diabetes) glycemic metabolism, by increasing insulin sensitivity and insulin controlled glucose disposal (40)

Normalizes weight gain, compared to corn oil (42)

Leads to reduced blood pressure

Reduces the number of fat cells, and amount of fats stored (36)

Obesity is caused by eating too much long-chain fatty acids (vegetable oil); medium-chain fatty acids (as in coconut oil) reverse this condition, reducing obesity (38)

Speeds up metabolism after meals (41)

Improves athletic endurance exercise performance (39)

Reduces liver's production of LDL "bad" cholesterol

Has no effect on production of HDL "good" cholesterol

Reduces circulating triglycerides and free fatty acids FFAs

Reduces intra-cellular lipids in muscle tissue, reducing insulin resistance (35)

Accelerates or catalyzes burning and oxidation of other oils by the liver

Absorbed from intestines directly into liver by portal vein

Does not circulate in blood like other vegetable oils

Rapidly oxidized or burned by the liver -- as fast as pure glucose

Does not require rate-limiting enzyme CPT (carnitine palmitoyltransferase) for metabolism, as would long-chain fatty acids found in vegetable oils

Results in steady weight loss for obese individuals, and weight maintenance for healthy people

Coconut Oil: The Real Truth

In our western society coconut oil has been given a bad name and many are under the impression that this oil contains unhealthy saturated fats and therefore creates clogged arteries and heart problems.

This misperception is likely due to a negative campaign against saturated fats and tropical oils that encouraged manufacturers to favour cash crops like soy as opposed to coconut oil. This disregards the studies available that support the numerous health benefits of this amazing oil. It has been documented that Native diets rich in coconut oil offer significant protection against illness and disease.

Why does it seem that there is so much conflicting information about saturated fats like that found in coconut oil? Perhabs the most widely disseminated and confusing information concerns vegetable oil. In the '60s and '70s, polyunsaturated oils such as corn oils were widely touted as being protective against heart disease, and people were frequently advised to switch from eating butter to margerine in order to lower cholesterol levels. Researchers now believe that a diet in high polyunsaturated vegetable oils actually increase our chances of contracting heart disease, and the trans fats contained in margerine have been implicated in a number of health problems in addition to heart disease. With these contradictory guidelines, many people have become cynical about any nutritional advice and they don't know what to believe.

Like many people, I was under the impression that coconut oil contributed to health problems until I came across research that would reshape my beliefs. I had only to look back to my childhood in post-WWII Germany for affirmation of the benefits of coconut oil. At that time I developed severe stomach cramps and constipation from malnutrition. The ONLY thing that could relieve my symptoms was to eat plenty of coconut flakes.

I have since discovered that the saturated fat from coconut oil is different and it acts even differently than the saturated fat from animal sources. The nature of coconut oil is unlike any other.

Studies published in dozen of the most respected scientific and medical journals have come to the amazing conclusion that coconut oil in it virgin form - unrefined, cold pressed - is a remarkable health food that at times the world has virtually forgotten about. It is the one oil that will help to protect you from hear disease, cancer and other degenerative conditions. It will improve digestion, strengthen your immune system, protect you from infectious illnesses, and help you to lose excess weight.

In his book "The Miracles of Coconut Oil:, Bruce Fife, ND, presents the newest research that supports the many beneficial properties of this oil. He clarifies the myths and outlines the benefits as follows. Coconut oil:

 

 

Does NOT increase blood cholesterol levels

 

Does NOT contribute to weight problems

 

Reduces risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease

 

Reduces risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions

 

Helps to heal wounds and reduce acne

 

Aids in the control of diabetes

 

Reduces inflammation and immune response caused by allergies

 

Kills certain bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and other disease causing germs

 

Helps to prevent osteoporosis

 

Has the potential to be an effective tool for fighting HIV infection

 

Supports immune system function

 

Promotes beautiful skin by protecting against free radical damage witch causes premature aging and wrinkling of the skin

 

Is heat resistant and is therefore one of the healthiest oils for cooking

 

Is easily digested by anyone with ulcers and other stomach and intestinal problems

 

Supplies fewer calories than other fats

 

Supports healthy metabolic function

 

Improves digestion and nutrient absorption

 

Functions as a protective antioxidant

Coconut oil has been called "the healthiest dietary oil on earth". It is a stable oil ideal for cooking and baking at high temperatures. It is an excellent replacement for hydrogenated vegetable oils that contain harmful trans fats. If you are not using it daily in your kitchen you are missing out on one of the nature's most amazing health foods. If simple changes such as using coconut oil can make a difference to your health, isn't it worth it? And remember:

"Those who do not find time every day for health, must one day sacrifice a lot of time for illness!"

I think there was a scaremongering years ago to stop people using coconut oil which is one of the healthiest oils available and this was that it increased cholesterol - people knew no better so they didn't use it - they used the poisonous Canola Oil instead !!

There have been some proven benifits by using coconut oil,due to its

medium chain fatty acids. i have personaly been using it in enemas for

my diversion colitis and have noticed a BIG difference in the amount

of inflamation!! This is much more cost effective than the tradition

medications used for the colitis.It is also very sothing to irritated

skin and membranes!! Also good for dandruff and a good moisturizer.It

is not recommended that people with heart,artery disease or high

colesterol use it for cooking however,as it is high in

colesterol.These people shoild use virgin olive oil for

cooking.Coconut oil is a good source of natural energy due to its

easily digestable fats and good for boosting metabalism in sluggish

people.I have lost 46 pounds by consuming coconut oil daily vs

vegetable oil. And it makes food taste good too!!! Use only certified

organic coconut oil if you want to try this diet,and use no more than

1 tsp daily,or 1 capsule daily.VERY GOOD AT RELIEVING INFLAMATORY

DISEASE conditions!! Also safer than steroids!!! Please consult your

physician prior to using coconut oil,and do NOT use if you have any

stents in arteries or viens as the cholesterol can clog stents.

Coconut will only

cause trouble if you eat way too much of it so as to exclude other important foods

for a balanced diet

OR if it’s hydrogenated

OR if it’s put

Hi Thea,

I think that

hydrogenation is when they heat it to extremely high temperatures, which change

the atomic structure of the oil… it’s really very bad for you –

probably what’s causing a lot of the cancer and heart disease…. It’s

in most processed foods – such as margarine.

Research indicates, animal fats have long chain saturated fat, while coconut oil contains healthy, healing, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). This saturated fat is considered a rare and important building block of every cell in the human body, and can actually reduce cholesterol and heart disease.

This incredible food boosts immunity, kills bacteria and viruses, protects against cancer and other degenerative diseases, and prevents osteoporosis by promoting calcium absorption. It also slows down ageing and is good for skin radiance.

Weight Loss from Coconut Oil/ButterAmerican farmers attempted to plump up their cattle by feeding them coconut oil. Instead of gaining weight, their cows lost weight!

This is because:1. The long-chain fats nearly always go to fat storage, while the MCFAs (medium chain fatty acids) are burned for energy... which is why you feel great after eating this coconut super food.

2. Coconut oil helps to stimulate the metabolism, so you burn more calories each day, which helps with weight loss and energy levels.Coconut Oil/Butter is Packed with Lauric AcidCoconut oil, like human breast milk, is rich in lauric acid, which boosts immunity and destroys harmful bacteria and viruses. In fact, coconut oil is one of the closest foods on the planet to breast milk.

Scientists in the Philippines researched the effects of coconut oil and lauric acid on patients with the HIV virus that causes Aids. The results were amazing. Most of the Aids patients showed a dramatic drop in the HIV virus count, in some cases to " undetectable " levels. While there needs to be a lot more research, there is certainly evidence to suggest that people with this virus would benefit from having a diet rich in coconut.

Lipid researcher Dr. Jon Kabara says " Never before in the history of man is it so important to emphasize the value of Lauric Oils. " Coconut Oil/Butter Kills Candida (Yeast Infections)Coconut oil has been shown to kill the Candida Albicans yeast, which is caused by antibiotics, birth control pills, and modern living. It has caused a whole generation to be tired, foggy headed, unable to optimally digest food, and suffer from a range of other illnesses.

Yet many sufferers have claimed that their health has dramatically improved when using coconut products. This could be due to the fact that coconuts are a dense source of caprylic acid, which has anti-fungal properties. It could also be due to the fact that these people replaced regular milk (which is generally toxic and bad for candida sufferers) with the milk from coconuts.

Healthy SkinCoconut Oil/Butter has youth enhancing, glow encouraging properties for the skin. It is highly moisturizing and promotes skin elasticity.
