Why Coconut Oil8

@ou;,e ro)a)ly heard at least some o1 the e3citement a)out the )ene1its o1 coconut oil4
and hoe1ully the introduction con1irmed some o1 that hye and introduced you to
)ene1its you /eren;t already a/are o1- Ho/e,er4 those o1 you /ho still aren;t con,inced
might )e /ondering4 =What ma.es coconut oil so secial8>
That;s an e3cellent Euestion- The di11erence )et/een coconut oil and the other =cures>
on the mar.et is that this one has a long*standing history- + Euic. search on the internet
/ill ro,ide all the e,idence you need- @ou;ll 1ind /or.s li.e this )oo.4 as /ell as
testimonies )y eole /ho ha,e used coconut oil and lo,ed it- There are hundreds o1
stories and ersonal accounts o1 ho/ coconut oil has imro,ed the health o1 indi,iduals
5ust li.e you- This is a multi*urose oil that can change your li1e in a 1e/ days ? and
that4 my 1riend4 is a comletely hye*1ree statement-

What is 't8
'n technical terms4 coconut oil is e3tracted 1rom the cocos nuci1era4 or the coconut
alm tree- Basically4 the oil is ta.en 1rom the meat4 /hich is the solid art o1 a rie
coconut-
There are di11erent tyes o1 coconut oil you should )e 1amiliar /ith- The .no/ledge /ill
hel you decide /hich tye Bor tyesC is )est 1or you to use- 'n some cases4 you may
/ant to urchase more than one tye 1or di11erent uroses-
7e1ined Coconut Oil
7e1ined coconut oil has )een rocessed- @ou may re1er re1ined coconut oil 1or coo.ing4
as the 1la,or is more su)tle and the oil can /ithstand higher coo.ing temeratures- Note
that the re1ining rocess can in,ol,e the use o1 harsh chemicals4 and 1reEuently re1ined
coconut oils are actually 7BD oils ? re1ined4 )leached and deodori0ed- ' de1initely
recommend gra))ing unre1ined coconut oil as /ell4 to ingest ra/- '1 you are lanning on
coo.ing and need an oil /ith a mild 1la,or and a high smo.e oint4 re1ined coconut oil
may )e a good otion 1or you- +dditionally4 it is the most /idely a,aila)le coconut oil-
Some re1ining rocesses are )etter than others4 so ay close attention to /here you )uy
your re1ined coconut oil- Ma.e sure you;re not getting something that;s )een re1ined
through a rocess you don;t agree /ith- While chemically re1ined coconut oil is NOT
/hat you /ant4 there are healthier re1ined alternati,es- Some coconut oil is re1ined
using diatomaceous earth or steam- 7ead the la)el care1ully )e1ore ma.ing a urchase-
9nre1ined Coconut Oil
9nre1ined coconut oil is as close to nature as it gets * short o1 crac.ing oen your o/n
coconuts- This is ressed ra/ coconut- Loo. 1or =,irgin4> =e3tra*,irgin> or =unre1ined> on
the la)el-
Note that unre1ined oils are sometimes strong and can o,ero/er 1oods /hen you coo.
/ith them- ' recommend ta.ing unre1ined oils in ra/ 1orm4 and sa,ing the re1ined
coconut oil 1or coo.ing-
' re1er to research the )rand )e1ore ' )uy- This is to determine /hether or not
' agree /ith their method o1 e3tracting coconut oil- The ma5ority o1 unre1ined coconut oil
manu1acturers a,oid the use o1 chemicals4 )ut there are e3cetions-
Ho/ is it :3tracted8
The e3traction o1 coconut oil 1or consumtion as a 1ood roduct dates )ac. to as early
as "### BC in 'ndia- +ccording to research conducted )y Dr- K- T- +chaya4 a /orld*
reno/ned e3ert in 1ood and nutrition history4 records 1rom the Haraan ci,ili0ation
mention the culti,ation and e3traction o1 coconut oil4 )ut there is no descrition o1 the
techniEues used to e3tract the oil- By $F## BC4 a giant mortar and estle .no/n as a
ghani /as in use-
Today there are t/o dominant e3traction rocesses used in the manu1acture o1 coconut
oil- One is a dry method4 /hich eEuates to the meat )eing scraed 1rom the shell and
then dried using .ilns4 an oen 1lame4 or e,en sunlight- This searates the oils 1rom the
1i)rous mush4 )ut can also introduce contaminants- The mushy su)stance is normally
1ed to animals that do not ha,e sensiti,e stomachs4 as it is susceti)le to )acteria and
disease-
The other rocess4 called the /et ,ersion4 in,ol,es many more stes and results in less
coconut oil 1rom the same num)er o1 coconuts- The meat o1 the coconut creates an
emulsi1ied roduct that is a com)ination o1 oil and /ater- The tric. is searating the t/o-
Currently4 many ,ariations o1 the /et method e3ist and may include a com)ination o1
e3treme temerature changes4 or e,en the use o1 shoc. /a,es- Wet method technology
is not cost e11ecti,e4 and ro,ides no ad,antages o,er the dry method4 desite the
ercentage o1 roduct /hich can )e lost due to the occasional contamination ro)lem
using the dry techniEue-
There are other methods o1 e3ressing coconut oil /hich are )ecoming more common-
These include cold*ressing4 centri1ugation4 and e3eller*ressing- '1 you are loo.ing 1or
a strong coconut 1la,or4 use the cold*ressed or e3eller*ressed ,arieties- They are
1reEuently e3osed to higher temeratures4 and thus ha,e a nuttier 1la,or- For a milder
1la,or4 use the centri1uged coconut oil B
///-1oodrenegade-com
4 "#$$C-
Why should you care ho/ coconut oil is made8 One method isn;t necessarily )etter
than the other4 )ut .no/ing ho/ the coconut oil on the shel1 is rocessed /ill de1initely
e3lain the di11erence in rice- 7est assured that the cost is /ell /orth it- 9nderstanding
roduction methods can also hel you determine /hich )rand you /ant to )uy as some
use chemicals and others do not- Some ha,e an intense coconut 1la,or4 /hile others
are ,irtually tasteless- 't;s u to you to )uy coconut oil according to your re1erence-

What;s Behind the Miracle8
We are all s.etical o1 urorted Imiracle cures4; and /ith good reason- Once in a /hile4
ho/e,er4 there are roducts that are /orth in,estigating 1urther- This reort has made a
lot o1 claims a)out the ,irtues o1 coconut oil- ' )et you are /ondering ho/ coconut oil
accomlishes e,erything ';,e said it can do- This section should hel to clari1y any
Euestions you ha,e-
There are numerous 1atty acids in coconut oil- These acids act as cleansers- They are
soothing to the )ody /hile 1ighting o11 )acteria and 1ungi- Coconut oil contains o/er1ul
amounts o1 medium chain triglycerides BMCTsC4 /hich are )ehind many o1 the health
)ene1its- We;ll co,er /hat these MCTs mean 1or our health later on- +dditionally4
coconut oil is an antio3idant and is antimicro)ialA
Lauric +cid
Lauric acid is a 1atty acid 1ound in coconut oil4 and is the rimary anti,iral and
antimicro)ial agent 1ound in human )reast mil.- While the mechanism is unclear4 it is
.no/n that lauric acid can )e con,erted )y the )ody into something called monolaurin-
Monolaurin hels the )ody to com)at disease and illness )y destroying the rotecti,e
casing around ,iruses4 1ungi4 and )acteria ? leading to the death and destruction o1
these microorganisms- 7ecent changes to the human diet ha,e largely eliminated lauric
acid4 as misunderstandings o1 the 1unction o1 saturated 1ats led to diets de,oid o1
healthy sources o1 medium*chain 1atty acids- Coconut oil is comrised o1 roughly F#J
lauric acid4 1rom /hich an estimated KJ can )e meta)oli0ed )y the )ody directly into
monolaurin- The remaining lauric acid4 /hile a less otent antimicro)ial agent than
monolaurin4 is still an e11ecti,e germ .iller4 and coconut oil is one o1 the )est natural
sources 1or this ,ital 1atty acid BLie)erman et al4 "##LC-
Medium*chain Fatty +cids
9nli.e many other oils4 such as ,egeta)le oil and ,arious seed oils4 coconut oil is
redominantly comrised o1 medium*chain 1atty acids4 also re1erred to as medium*
chain triglycerides- These tyes o1 acids are easier 1or the )ody to digest4 and are not
li.ely to )e stored as 1at- Medium*chain triglycerides /or. ,ery much li.e car)ohydrates4
)ut lac. the glucose contained in them- By increasing the )ioa,aila)ility o1 energy /hile
reducing glucose4 the )ody is a)le to 1unction more e11iciently ? in turn encouraging
/eight loss and )etter o,erall health- +dditionally4 nearly all o1 the medium*chain 1atty
acids 1ound in coconut oil contain antimicro)ial roerties /hich are still )eing
in,estigated4 )ut are .no/n to )e )ene1icial to human health- These healthy 1atty acids
include lauric acid4 caric acid4 carylic acid and myristic acid BLie)erman et al "##LC-
Some indi,iduals ta.e sulements o1 the healthy 1atty acids 1ound in coconut oil4 )ut
this is o1ten rohi)iti,ely e3ensi,e- Coconut oil is considered an e3cellent4 cost*
e11ecti,e alternati,e to direct dietary sulementation /ith monolaurin and other healthy
1atty acids- +dditionally4 coconut oil does not reEuire chemical e3traction rocesses4
/hich may ma.e it easier 1or the )ody to utili0e-
Myths a)out Coconut Oil
There is lenty o1 good in1ormation a,aila)le regarding the )ene1its o1 coconut oil4 )ut
much o1 it is eclised )y rumors and 1alse in1ormation- While you are a)le to identi1y
/hich statements are do/nright untrue4 some myths can )e con,incing- <etting the

you- 'gnoring the hye a)out /hat is hot and /hat is not is the )est /ay to get the
results you /ant 1rom any roduct4 esecially coconut oil-

Saturated Fat
+ common )elie1 regarding coconut oil is that it can increase your ris. o1 heart attac.-
This is )ased on the misconcetion that all cholesterol is )ad cholesterol4 and that all
saturated 1ats are )ad 1ats- 'n truth4 your )ody reEuires a ratio o1 LDL and HDL
cholesterol in order to 1unction roerly- There is also no roo1 that the saturated 1ats
in coconut oil raise your )ad cholesterol- 7ecent articles in the BBC and N@ Times ha,e
discussed the ositi,e )ene1its o1 including coconut oil in your diet- Saturated 1ats are
not all ali.e4 and the ,irtue o1 coconut oil lies in its comosition ? the medium*chain
triglycerides /e discussed earlier are e3actly /hat ma.es coconut oil di11erent 1rom the
ma5ority o1 saturated 1ats- Coconut oil can actually increase the good cholesterol in your
)ody /hile decreasing the )ad cholesterol- The good cholesterol roduced )y your )ody
/ith the hel o1 coconut oil can clear arterial )loc.ages4 re,ent the )uild*u o1 arterial
laEue and /or. to rotect the cardio,ascular system-

+nother common myth states that the saturated 1ats in coconut oil cause /eight gain4
ma.ing it more li.ely that eole /ho use it /ill )ecome o)ese- This is the oosite o1
the truth- +n e3eriment in the $MN#s attemted to ma.e co/s 1at )y 1eeding them
coconut oil- The result /as the contrary to /hat researchers had intended ? the co/s
/ere leaner4 more acti,e4 and hungrierA The saturated 1ats * also .no/n as medium
chain 1atty acids * that are contained in coconut oil hel to increase the )ody;s
meta)olism- This ma.es your thyroid 1unction )etter and actually causes your )ody to
use ingested 1ood more e11iciently B(eat4 "##LC- Coconut oil is occasionally used in
/eight loss lans 1or this reason- 7egular use can dramatically increase your chances
o1 /eight loss success-

:11ects on Dia)etics
There are rumors that coconut oil is s/eet to the taste and there1ore must ha,e a )ad
e11ect on the )lood sugar le,els o1 a dia)etic- First o1 all4 coconut oil is not o,erly
s/eet- Second4 research on mice has sho/n that coconut oil can )e e11ecti,e in
re,ersing Tye " dia)etes and rotect against insulin resistance4 a condition
resonsi)le 1or dia)etes in many indi,iduals BMedical Ne/s Today4 "##MC- Coconut oil
actually stimulates the ancreas to romote greater insulin roduction- This means that
/hen used regularly4 coconut oil can actually reduce the onset o1 dia)etes-

+ S.in 'rritant

These days4 it;s all a)out loo.ing great4 and /ord is getting around that coconut oil /ill
)other the s.in- ' can con1idently re1ute that 1rom ersonal e3erience-

The )eauty industry has .no/n a)out coconut oil 1or Euite some time- The comound
cocamide*D:+ is 1reEuently 1ound in soas4 shamoos4 and other )eauty roducts- This
comound4 contrary to ro,iding the ositi,e )ene1its o1 coconut oil4 is a susected
carcinogen and a 1reEuent irritant 1or indi,iduals /ith allergies- While deri,ed 1rom
coconut oil4 it is NOT coconut oil- Con1usion o,er this has led to some o1 the )ad ress
surrounding coconut oil itsel1- 't is imortant to note that cocamide*D:+ is a chemically
deri,ed4 highly rocessed roduct that )ears little resem)lance to actual coconut oil-
The dangerous art o1 this comound is not /hat is deri,ed 1rom coconut oil4 )ut /hat is

For years the ro1essionals ha,e )een saying that saturated 1ats are to )e a,oided4
)ecause they damage your health and can lead to things li.e heart disease- The 1act is4
not all saturated 1ats are the same4 and not all should )e shunned- This =one si0e 1its all>

Coconut oil has saturated 1at in it- The interesting thing is that in countries /here
coconut oil is a ma5or art o1 the diet4 heart disease is rare- Coconut oil is4 as discussed
earlier4 di11erent 1rom the ma5ority o1 saturated 1ats due to its medium*chain 1atty acid
content- Nutritionists are )eginning to recogni0e the ,ital di11erence )et/een coconut oil
and other saturated 1ats- Many no/ recommend that their clients use coconut oil in

le,els o1 cancer and 1at retention in the li,er B(eat4 "##LCA <i,en this e,idence4 it seems
that saturated 1at is not the enemy a1ter all ? at least4 not /hen it;s good 1at- Some

+dditionally4 many saturated 1ats ossess natural anti*o3idant Eualities ? meaning they
don;t necessarily need to )e hydrogenated to ha,e a long shel1 li1e-

Coconut oil is one o1 the 1e/ oils that ro,ide you /ith medium*chain 1atty acids- These
are more easily digested than long*chain 1atty acids- They are )ro.en do/n into 1ree
1atty acids4 and are directed straight to the li,er- 9niEuely4 medium*chain 1atty acids are
also a)sor)ed directly into cell mitochondria4 /here they are used as energy Q not

This is a ,ery imortant distinction that is o1ten o,erloo.ed- The 1at contained in coconut

Heart Disease
+s /e;,e discussed4 there is a common misconcetion that you should a,oid anything
made u o1 saturated 1at i1 you /ant to rotect yoursel1 1rom a heart attac.- That;s one
reason 1or the myth that indi,iduals /ith concerns a)out heart disease should stay a/ay
1rom coconut oil4 /hich is made u rimarily o1 saturated 1at- That is the /rong school
o1 thought- There is a lot o1 in1ormation that imlies that coconut oil can actually rotect
the )ody 1rom heart related disease and illness-
Coconut oil is comrised o1 medium*chain 1atty acids BMCF+sC4 /hich actually increase
the resence o1 HDL cholesterol in the )ody- HDL is .no/n as the =good cholesterol>
that hels clear the arteries and rotect the heart against disease and stro.e- Most
studies o1 cholesterol le,els include a com)ination o1 the good and )ad cholesterol also
re1erred to as HDL6LDL- <rouing them together gi,es the /rong imression that
cholesterol and saturated 1at are dangerous 1or the heart- 't is much more e11ecti,e to
e3amine the t/o searately- The t/o1old 5o) o1 coconut oil is to reduce )ad cholesterol
and increase good cholesterol-
There are studies that sho/ that ,irgin coconut oil that has not )een hydrogenated has
the a)ility to lo/er LDL and increase HDL in the )ody- This translates into higher le,els
o1 the =good> cholesterol and a decrease in the =)ad> cholesterol- + decrease in )ad
cholesterol results in 1e/er clogged arteries4 and lo/ers the ris. o1 heart disease and
stro.e-
The FD+ recommends that in order to li,e a heart healthy li1estyle4 eole should li,e a
li1e 1ree 1rom e3cess LDL*the =)ad> cholesterol * and that saturated 1atty acids can
increase the le,els o1 the LDL in the )ody4 thus ma.ing it more li.ely that a erson /ill
su11er 1rom heart disease- While this is true4 there is a great deal o1 e,idence that sho/s
that eole should not cut out saturated 1ats comletely4 )ut instead need to ha,e a
)alance o1 1ats such as monounsaturated 1ats4 saturated 1ats4 and olyunsaturated 1ats
in order to .ee their LDL and HDL le,els in chec.-
'n order to accomlish this goal4 the use o1 non*hydrogenated coconut oil is suggested-
Staying clear o1 hydrogenated oil is )est )ecause the rocess o1 hydrogenation adds
hydrogen atoms to the 1at molecule- This changes the ma.eu o1 the oil )y creating
trans*1at4 the consumtion o1 /hich oses a signi1icant ris. o1 heart disease-
Coconut oil contains another e3tremely hel1ul natural resource4 olyhenols-
(olyhenols are lant comounds that can contri)ute a high le,el o1 antio3idants to the
)ody- +ntio3idants signi1icantly reduce the li.elihood o1 heart disease4 esecially /hen
ingested regularly- @ou can easily add a dose o1 coconut to your 1ood or 5ust ta.e it
straight each day-
There is no consistent recommendation 1or ho/ much coconut oil you should ta.e daily
in order to )ene1it 1rom its use- The tye o1 oil you )uy and its urity /ill signi1icantly
imact ho/ e11ecti,e it /ill )e4 and ho/ Euic.ly- Discuss ta.ing coconut oil /ith your
doctor or nutritionist in order to determine ho/ much is right 1or you- @ou could also
)egin )y su)stituting )utters and oils in your diet /ith coconut oil-
The increase in the meta)olism ro,ided )y the medium*chain 1atty acids contained in
coconut oil ma.es it ossi)le 1or the )ody to use energy more e11ecti,ely- This means
that your )ody /ill /or. )etter4 /ill )e less li.ely to )e o,er/eight and /ill create less
strain on the heart- These 1actors also contri)ute to ositi,e cardio,ascular health- The
more control the )ody has o,er the use o1 the nutrients it consumes4 the less ta3ed the
)ody /ill )e-
'n addition4 coconut oil naturally contains the comound lauric acid4 /hich your )ody
can con,ert to monolaurin ? you .no/ this art is e3citing to meA This is a disease
1ighting agent that can do e,erything 1rom increase the human immune system to
stoing ,iruses and diseases in their trac.s- 't can also hel the )ody to reco,er
Euic.ly 1rom internal and e3ternal in5ury-
The com)ination o1 1atty acids 1ound in coconut oil /or.s as an anti)iotic4 anti)acterial
and anti,iral agent that can rotect the )ody 1rom some o1 the illnesses that regular
anti)iotics are no longer a)le to de1eat- Some o1 the toughest )acteria such as
Stahylococcus aureus ha,e )een .illed using coconut oil- This means that the coconut
oil is a)le to hel the )ody 1ight against immuno*comromising illnesses-
'n 1act4 coconut oil is actually )elie,ed to )e a otential antidote 1or aluminum hoshide
oisoning- +luminum hoshide is a mitochondrial oison used to control rodent
oulations in grain storage 1acilities- +ccording to a reort )y a team o1 'ranian doctors

Factors that can hel ma.e sure that your rea the ositi,e )ene1its o1 coconut oil in
