Re: Coconut oil; was acerola powder

July 10, 2002

That oil ends up being around 90 degrees C (194 F). Here's what manufacture of

the oil said about that.:

" For the oil industry, 160 C is considered low heat. At that heat no nutrients

are lost. We are well

below that at 90 C, which is less than boiling temps (100 C or 212 F). That is

definitely a slight heat,

by anybody's definition...

..... The raw foodists will complain because enzymes will be killed off. But you

don't consume coconut oil

for enzymes! If you want enzymes, eat fresh coconuts. The presence of enzymes in

oil will make it very

unstable, and cause it to go rancid very quickly. The benefits of coconut oil

are the medium chain fatty

acids, which are not even destroyed by high heat. With Virgin Coconut Oils like

ours, even the Vitamin E

content is kept in tact. "

I want to add that I've tried their oil, and it is very good, smell and flavor.
