Coconut Oil Health Benefits

For many years we have been misled about the non-existence of coconut oil health benefits and have instead been informed about how laden coconut oil is with artery clogging fats. What these reports failed to mention is that it is hydrogenated coconut oil that is unhealthy and not pure coconut oil. The health benefits of coconut oil have been brought to light by Nutiva, a company dedicated to nourishing people and the planet the way nature intended. Nutiva is a values-driven company that was established in 1999 with the aim of producing nutritious super foods. Nutiva has not only consistently achieved its mission but the company's products have exceeded customer expectations and the service level is exceptional too.

One of Nutiva's super foods is 100% pure and organic extra virgin coconut oil. The health benefits of this wonderful product are numerous because Nutiva's coconut oil is unhydrogenated, unrefined, unfermented, unbleached, undeodorized, chemical free and is certified organic and non-GMO. In its pure state coconut oil has health benefits relating to the type of fats it contains. Pure coconut oil is cholesterol- and trans fat-free, contains only 1% of omega-6 and is extremely rich in medium chain fats which are recognized by doctors as being "good fats". Of these medium chain fats that are recommended by doctors, lauric acid comprises 50%. Lauric acid is found in mother's milk and supports a healthy metabolism. It is also currently being studied for its anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which it lends to coconut oil. The health benefits of coconut oil are so evident that when diets that include large quantities of coconut are replaced by Western-style diets containing vegetable oils, all the fat related diseases common to such diets begin to appear.

Nutiva's coconut oil is ideal as a high heat cooking oil and is a good replacement for butter. Replace your cooking fats with coconut oil and the health benefits you receive will change your life forever.
