Perhaps you are among those many people who aren't familiar with the benefits of this miracle oil. I don't mean to judge you, but that's the fact...most of us have been brainwashed so long with the wrong concept. For decades, most of people assume that coconut oil has significant relationship with the cholesterol-rich plaques in blood vessels. This misleading conclusion was actually based on a study done about four decades ago, using hydrogenated coconut oil, not virgin coconut oil. Unlike hydrogenated coconut oil, virgin coconut oil is derived from fresh coconuts without bleach, solvents, nor heating in the process. Most of the saturated fats in virgin coconut oil is made up of Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA), which has unique properties that are very beneficial for both food and non-food uses. Despite forming cholesterol-rich plaques in blood vessels, the fats in virgin coconut oil are used by your body as an instant source of fuel. This MCFA is more easily digested than other fats found in other oils, because they are processed directly in your liver. Many researches done lately show a long list of benefits of virgin coconut oil, that Mary G. Enig, Ph.D claimed this oil in support in good health in the 21st century. |
