Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Coconut Oil Myth by Victoria Poorly interpreted research leads to wrong information and this is why for years you might have heard that coconut oil leads to hardening of the arteries. Over 40 years ago researchers found that feeding coconut oil to animals caused their cholesterol levels to rise. But the problem was that the animals were not fed natural coconut oil, but instead given hydrogenated coconut oil. The hydrogenation process creates trans fats -- disfigured fat molecules that wreak havoc on your body's cells. Any oils that are hydrogenated (even olive oil) are bad for you and will age you and your skin at a fast rate. To put it bluntly, hydrogenated oils are poison in your body. To keep your body in good health and avoid aging too soon, don't eat any foods that contain hydrogenated oils. Replace shortening in recipes with natural coconut oil and you will find your skin is no longer dry, but instead, moist, velvety and beautiful.

After a shower, dry off and rub a little coconut oil on the areas that need it most. You can find coconut oil in your health food store for about $5.
