Coconut Oil has long been the subject of conspiracy theories.
Turns out this is true, as well, for coconut oil. Something along the lines if coconut oil is such an amazing product, how come it is not more popular? The conspiracy theory is that U.S. agribusiness has put the kibosh on coconut oil because it is not a domestic crop and would compete with soybean-based oil, which is. And it is the partially hydrogenated soy bean oil’s trans fats – once touted as a healthy option – that are now under the gun.
We’re thrilled to see Virgin Coconut Oil finally starting to gain the widespread recognition and praise it deserves.
Check out this article from (surprised, Coconut Fans?) non other than Dr. Oz’s Blog. Dr. Oz has come out in the past against Coconut Oil, and we’re happy to see him singing a new Coconut Oil tune, buy posting this article on his blog. It looks as though even anti-coconut folks are opening up.
Overall not a bad piece but the author does confuse Omega-6 being in Coconut Oil (very micro amounts of omega-6).
Folks, we all make mistakes and overall Dr. Oz has done a good job in promoting increased consumption of fresh fruits and veggies. Plus Dr Oz is a big fan of hemp so.. A tip o’ the hat for what he does well.
I love to cook. Yet much of my domestic culinary life has been shadowed by my obsession to remove unhealthy saturated fats from my family’s diet. After all, isn’t it a given that fat is bad for you? And haven’t I struggled with my weight, my heart health and my love of a good French fry?
As a dermatologist, I’ve taken comfort in the knowledge that many of those good-for-us unsaturated fats also have healthy skin benefits. The omega-3s from sources like fish, walnuts and olive and canola oils work to keep skin less eczema-prone, and reduces dryness and sensitivity. Hair looks lustrous and becomes less brittle while nails get stronger.
Yet I have avoided one of my favorite food sources due to my concern that it was high in “bad” fat. Warned about the high levels of saturated fat found in coconut oils, I sadly said goodbye to coconut milk-based sauces, macaroons, piña coladas and Mounds bars. My palate protested the unfairness of a plant saturated with saturated fat! [click to continue…]
I am a 34 year old self-employed business-owner with a 20-month old baby. I was a marathon runner until I had my first (and only) baby at 32 years old and after he was born, I was diagnosted with hypothyroidism. My TSH was 10.3. I ended up in the ER 2 times in the last 12 months due to being unable to regulate my med’s.
I went to a specialist and was on 27 pills a day (mostly suppliments). I heard about coconut oil and decided I had NOTHING to lose. I was already considering shutting down my business because I had no energy to run it. I have the most severe case of thyroid problems I have ever heard about and by adding one tablespoon of coconut oil to a hemp protein shake in the morning, I am practically healed.
I have done this protien shake for 5 weeks and I am almost back to myself. EVERYONE has noticed the change. I took my little boy to the zoo 2 days ago and walked around for 3 hours. If you have thyoid problems, you know hwo miraculous this is. I am sleeping through the night again and I am thinking about exercising again. I am still a little apprehensive about running- I have been unable to run for soooo long now. But that is my next major goal.
You HAVE to try this. I have told everyone I know with thyroid problems. Truthfully, I would have eaten lard if I thought it would make be better; that is how discouraged and desparate I was to get my life back. This is sooo easy and worth ever penney. And if you melt it, you will barely notice the flavor in your shake.
I use it to cook now- Anytime my recipe calls for olive oil; I use coconut oil. I hope my testimony inspires you. God made food great all by itself and we have added so much garbage to our diets. I am getting back to the basics now.

I just bought this wonderful Nutiva coconut oil after hearing Dr. Jonny Bowden talk about coconut oil and all the benifits it contains. This has got to be the most delectable on the planet it smells like heaven and tastes sooooo good. I bake and cook with it, and after reading all the rave reviews about it being used as butter and on the hair and skin I will never buy anything but this again. Bye Bye Crisco, hello Nutiva.
(NaturalNews) Sorting through fact and fiction when it comes to weight loss is a tough order, especially when fad diets spring to life and wither away all in the same season. Many claims have been made about coconut oil and weight loss, but a number of whole food enthusiasts know this one is the real deal. And that’s because coconut oil is more than a weight loss aid: it’s a well-documented health food. Take it from experts like Dr. Bruce Fife and Dr. Mary Enig, both of whom speak volumes about the merits of coconut oil, when they vouch for its credibility. Coconut oil really can help you lost weight, and here’s three reasons why:
#1 Get a Metabolism Boost
Coconut oil is one of the most abundant sources of medium-chain fatty acids, and these nifty little triglycerides can work wonders for a sluggish metabolism. In a study that looked at the effect of medium-chain fatty acids on metabolism, it was found that these fats could increase the metabolic rate by up to 48 percent and for up to 24 hours. If your metabolism has been damaged by dieting or stress, a daily dose of coconut oil can do wonders for getting it back on the right track.
#2 Balance Your Blood Sugar
The profound effect coconut oil seems to have on the metabolism extends to insulin function as well. This may be because coconut oil can supply the body with energy similar to blood glucose, but without having a negative impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. Including coconut oil before or during a meal also lowers the glycemic impact of what you’re eating, which prevents those dreaded blood sugar highs and lows.
Popular beauty blogger “anneorshine” posted this article “Natural Remedy for Dry Skin and Itchy Scalp” about coconut oil with a related video on YouTube below. The beauty experts are more and more discovering and talking about the benefits of coconut oil for healthy and beautiful hair and skin.
Our skin is the largest organ and it acts as a protective shield on our body. However it also absorbed products that we put on it. There are many skin products out there in stores. Some beauty labels says “natural”, some says “anti-aging”. It sure sounds tempting to buy them all but do we really want to pollute our own body?
