Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Dear Annette, YES and YAY! I have been shouting about coconut oil for some time and in fact have contacted a Phillipine Dirstributor and am considering buying in bulk. I use it for EVERYTHING! some years back (in the '60's I believe) all the olive oil growers got together and managed to feed enough false data about coconut oil into the Public that coconut oil went out of favour in the Western World. Guess which part of the world has more Heart Attacks and more congested arteries? Eastern (that use Coconut oil) or Western (that use GMO Canola oil and Olive Oil)?...you guessed right - The Western World!!!!! I use coconut oil to cook, slather it on my body before I go into the sun (it is my only regular skin oil), use it on my hair and generally use it everywhere I can..... If ANYONE is concerned about their health, they should be using COCONUT OIL!!!!....Love Penny (doing the coconut rhumba) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Your first two are probably worth condemning, but condemning olive oil, is like the Hatfield's and McCoy's, they bad mouth each other, just for the sake of bad mouthing, not necessarily because there is justification! Coconut oil, like palm oil and it's heart healthy tocotrienols, have been put down for a while, and I haven't delved deep enough into it to know why (though the " somebody has a monetary motive " may hold water), but the bottom line is to not jump on anyone's bandwagon (especially those with the loudest horns), but RESEARCH...and eat even those in moderation (like your sunbathing - ease up unless your a shrimp)!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 Actually, ive just come back from a trip to india, and interestingly enough, indian people have amuch higher risk of heart disease and heart attacks. mygrandfather had me read articles about it. though heart disease is a top cause od death in the west, indians (they use a lot of coconut) have higher risk and occurance than americans. not to say coconut oil isn't good, there is evidence to show a genetic predisposition to heart disease in indians so it may have nothing to do with diet. tata misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Actually, I like both (olive and coconut) and feel they have their uses in their own respective areas. But as far as Penny being a "shrimp" is concerned ;o) That thar lassie is 5' 10" if she's an inch (chuckle) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - bigbird3969 herbal remedies Tuesday, June 19, 2001 12:48 PM [herbal remedies] Re: thyroid and coconut oil Your first two are probably worth condemning, but condemning olive oil, is like the Hatfield's and McCoy's, they bad mouth each other, just for the sake of bad mouthing, not necessarily because there is justification!Coconut oil, like palm oil and it's heart healthy tocotrienols, have been put down for a while, and I haven't delved deep enough into it to know why (though the "somebody has a monetary motive" may hold water), but the bottom line is to not jump on anyone's bandwagon (especially those with the loudest horns), but RESEARCH...and eat even those in moderation (like your sunbathing - ease up unless your a shrimp)!In my oppinion,Steveherbal remedies, Penny Khaled <pennyclr75@i...> wrote:> Dear Annette,> YES and YAY!
