Guest guest Report post Posted January 10, 2010 I added Coconut oil to our diet almost six months ago. Here is my concern. CO is not something I can produce on our farm in Kentucky. I am concerned about trusting sources for CO for the next 40 plus years of my life. What is known about the CO industry worldwide? Chemicals? Polution? Farms? Workers? Supply/demand? What threats are there to the Coconut supply? Thanks for any leads.

Many people who avoid milk do so because they can't handle casein or lactose. Whey protein isolate has no casein and very little lactose. If money is no object, immunocal is recommended by the Physician's Desk Reference. I cannot afford immunocal. I use NOW brand whey protein isolate, which is a lot cheaper (especially if bought by the 10 pound bag). I put whey into vegetable smoothies. I also mix with water and drink it. If one takes in whey daily, and supplement with Selenium, one boosts one's glutathione levels. Glutathione is the master anti-accident. One cannot take glutathione pills because it is destroyed by digestion. Whey + Selenium boosts glutathione levels. I used to eat meat a lot, but my teeth can no longer handle meat because I ruined them with sugar while younger. Now I get my protein from whey and liquid salad smoothies. Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils on earth. When I became diabetic and got rid od most carbs, I began to lose muscle mass because my body was catabolizing protein to make carbs for energy. When I started using coconut oil daily, the muscle wasting stopped. The medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil can be turned into energy by the body so it does not need carbs. Coconut oil is also very satisfying. I get no hunger pains when taking several ounces of coconut oil per day. I drink a pint of salad smoothie, twice a day and coconut oil once a day. I also add inulin fiber into the smoothie. It bulks it up nicely. Difficult to get too much fiber. Omega 3 oils are crucial. Flaxseed and hempseed have omega 3s but NOT essential omega 3s. Fish oil has essential omega 3s.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 15, 2010 The government may prevent us from buying vitamins in the future. The economy could go belly up and our money become worthless. There are NO guarantees about on-going supply of ANYTHING. There are coconut oil producers on on coconut_oil_open forum. I suspect they would be more than happy to address your concerns. coconut_oil_open_forum/ I buy from Wilderness Family Naturals because I like the company and the people in it. They are based in the US with connections to the coconut producing areas. http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/ Alobar On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 2:30 AM, Toni Moslemi <n_mi_daughterseyes wrote: > I added Coconut oil to our diet almost six months ago.
