Nutiva is an innovative leader in the health food industry.

Since 1999 they have operated as a values-driven company dedicated to nourishing people and planet. They’re building a business characterized by high standards in all aspects of their company, from the organic farms that grow their foods, through the production, packaging, and transportation of their products, to the Nutiva associates who communicate with their retailers and the people who enjoy their products.

Santa Paula, CA 26 November 2009 – Recently, the NY Times featured a report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest that movie popcorn is bad for you because it uses coconut oil. This alarmed Nutiva and their consumers.

Nutiva defended this allegation by setting up a contest. They encouraged everyone who loves Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to post a comment on the story at the Times and to post a link on the Nutiva Facebook Page

The past November 21st, the winner was declared and her name is Deb Rogers. Below is her post on the NY Times blog comment section:

“I long for the day when real science trumps politics. Yes, coconut oil is almost entirely saturated fat, but that saturated fat is mainly made up of medium-chain triglycerides(MCTs). These MCTs are more easily metabolized by the body and are even used in infant formulas. Consuming MCTs can help raise HDL – we all agree that’s a good thing.

Do your research and don’t fall for the con-job being pulled against saturated fats – especially coconut oil!

— Deb”

Nutiva thanked everybody who participated in the contest, and raised their voice against organized misinformation. They continue to persuade every end user to help spread the word about this outrage of demonizing whole foods and to stave off this coordinated pre-holiday attack on Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.

So many uses!!!

CO54I just ‘wow’ed my co-workers with brownies made with coconut oil; chocolate and coconut go together so well. I’ve had limited success using it for psoriasis scars, but have only recently been using it daily, so we’ll see. I must be honest and admit I originally got a small jar of this for a personal lubricant for my wife and I. Coconut oil has been used in other countries to treat infections (down there) and after using this my wife has not experienced any of the issues which she was experiencing. We even tried glycerin free lubricants, to no avail. Additionally, I have seen good improvement in my nail fungus after incorporating it into my diet, which was getting worse but at least in my fingertips, is now almost completely gone. I’ve read that coconut oil has anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties and at least for me, it appears to be working.

This particular brand is advertised as cold pressed, not heated or chemically derived (using hexane), which is certainly desired. If things keep going the way they are going, I’m going to have this brand of coconut oil in the house at all times.

We found this story over at MSN Lifesyle, of all places.  The news is out!

British singer Pixie Lott has revealed the secret behind her smooth, moisturised skin is because she bathes in coconut oil.

The British songstress- who reached fame with her hit track ‘Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)’ – keeps her skin smooth and moisturised by using a low-cost body oil in her bath water and directly on her skin for a tan-extending summer skin treatment.

She revealed: ‘I use coconut oil in my bath to keep my skin soft and silky, and in summer months after exfoliating it helps preserve my tan.’ The 18-year-old beauty has also perfected her favourite ‘smoky eyes’ look after taking tips from professional make-up artists. She explained to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: ‘The best tip I’ve learned is, when doing black smoky eyes, work on those before you apply your foundation because the eye shadow can drop and ruin your face.’

09The blonde teenager has also blasted those who airbrush photographs, claiming the image-enhancing technique can cause people to feel ‘inadequate’. She said: ‘I think airbrushing is something to be wary of. Some people take airbrushed images as gospel and this can sometimes lead to them feeling inadequate by comparison.’

Wise words indeed.

After two weeks of taking coconut oil, Steve Newport’s results in an early onset Alzheimer’s test gradually improved says his wife, Dr. Mary Newport. Before treatment, Steve could barely remember how to draw a clock. Two weeks after adding coconut oil to his diet, his drawing improved. After 37 days, Steve’s drawing gained even more clarity. The oil seemed to “lift the fog,” his wife says.

09This article was too interesting to pass up, and comes to us via one of our FaceBook friends.  Originally posted on TampaBay.com, Eve Hosley-Moore writes about an ordinary couple experiencing extraordinary health results by using Coconut Oil to treat Alzheimer’s symptoms.  You might want to pass this one on to your friends.

Here’s an excerpt from the story.  You can continue reading by clicking on the link at the bottom.

The only thing that kept Dr. Mary Newport positive in the face of her husband’s early onset Alzheimer’s disease was that he didn’t seem aware of how much ground he was losing.

“He didn’t know the full ramifications of his decline — I hate to say it but that was the only blessing. I was watching my husband of 36 years simply fade away,” said Dr. Newport, 56, a neonatologist and medical director of the newborn intensive care unit at Spring Hill Regional Hospital.

An accountant, Steve Newport left his corporate job the day his first daughter was born, allowing his wife to finish her medical training. As time went on, he worked from home, keeping the books for her neonatology practice and taking care of their two daughters, now age 22 and 26.

About six years ago, Newport began struggling with daily tasks. He took longer to complete the business’ payroll and was making more mistakes.

“I didn’t know what was happening to me. I was confused,” Newport said of his prediagnosis days.

“There were big clues, and I knew that something was going on here,” Dr. Newport said.

They saw his primary care physician, who referred him to a specialist. The diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s was a devastating blow. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 4.5-million Americans have Alzheimer’s. Early onset Alzheimer’s strikes people age 30 to 60 and is rare, affecting only about 5 percent to 10 percent of those with Alzheimer’s.

While there is no way to confirm an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Newport tested positive for the genetic marker that puts a person at higher risk for early onset Alzheimer’s.

He was put on several FDA-approved medicines to help slow the progression of the disease, but he continued to decline. In August of last year, Dr. Newport said, her husband underwent a “drastic change,” losing more than 10 pounds.

“He had completely lost interest in eating, and that was not a good sign,” she said. He also abandoned the kayaking and gardening he loved so much.
