Coconut Oil is the healthiest, most versatile unprocessed dietary oil in the world. Our Virgin Coconut Oil is made from organically coconuts. It contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which the body metabolizes quickly, converting the fats to energy rather than storing them as fat. Virgin Coconut Oil is a stable, healthy saturated fat that does NOT elevate ??bad?? (LDL) cholesterol.* Coconut Oil has tremendous antiviral properties. Lauric Acid makes up 50 to 55 percent of the medium chain fatty acids in Virgin Coconut Oil. In the body, Lauric Acid converts into monolaurin, a compound which is adept at fighting viral pathogens and is also present in large quantities in breast milk, where it protects infants form viral, bacterial and parasitic infections.
Health Benefits of Coconut Oil: Coconut oil has been used as a cooking oil for thousands of years, and is still a staple in the diets of many people living in tropical areas today. It was once popular here in the United States as well, until shortages of imported oils during WW II created the need to promote local oils like soybean and corn oil. Soon, polyunsaturated fats became the norm in this country; and with it came a rise in obesity, higher cholesterol levels, and degenerative diseases related to aging. Coconut oil has been shown to reduce the symptoms of digestive disorders, support overall immune functions, and to help prevent bacterial, viral and fungal infections. People who consistently use coconut oil, report changes in their ability to go without eating for several hours without experiencing the effects of hypoglycemia. A study conducted in Yucatan where coconut oil is a staple, showed that metabolic rates of people living there were 25% higher than in comparable test subjects living in the United States. Increased metabolic rate is a key to healthy weight management and could account for the leanness of people living in areas where coconut oil is consumed on a daily basis. The study further observed that local women displayed none of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause. (COCONUT OIL by Emerald Labs)
