Re: Saturated Fat in Coconut Oil

[Guest guest]

There is indeed saturated fat in coconut oil- the difference is that is the

medium chained variety- not the same at all as the other saturated fats.

Medium chains metabolize as energy not fat.

Keep in mind that we have all been LIED to for over 50 yrs- its going to take

at least that long to dispell those myths so just stick to your guns and

keep on pluggin.

Read Bruce Fife's book " The Coconut Oil Miracle "

That tells all very clearly.

Saturated Fat in Coconut Oil

Someone was trying to tell me that coconut oil contains saturated fat

and that it was just as bad for you as other saturated fats. I did see

some studies that were saying that the fat in coconut oil is not the

same as other saturated fats and was actually good for you. I can no

longer find these studies. Can anyone point me to where I can find

them?

Thanks,

Mark

Since I'm only 60 years old (YOUNG!!!)--I can no longer say I'm 59 going on 14

(now I have to say I'm 60 going on 11)--I guess that I'll have AT LEAST 10 years

left when these myths disappear (unless I cave in to traditional doctors and

well-meaning, but ill-informed, friends and family).

Hi

Another great resources is the Weston-Price Org. This article is long but will

tell everything you need to know:

http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/skinny.html

Another page on their web site, full of information on fats:

http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html

When you would have read the articles the conclusion would come quite clear:

Saturated Fats are not the problems .. BAD fat, Hydrogenated Oils are: Virtually

ALL Vegetable Oils you want to think of are hydrogenated.

Virgin Coconut Oil, Virgin Palm Kernel or Cold Pressed Olive Oil are not

Hydrogenated...

Yes, its an excellent book! I¹m a little over half way through right now.

I¹m so impressed with how he backs everything up so well!

Ps-actually, I realized after I wrote this, that I am reading one of his

other books ³Eat Fat, Look Thin².

It also tells many studies and is very well supported.

Dear Mark,

Here is a link to a few links which might interest you:

http://www.fair-and-healthy.com/blog/2008/01/26/still-something-on-vco-virgin-co\

conut-oil/

VCO is an all-purpose oil. I use it for cooking and baking. With me

having a highly sensitive digestive system and a weak heart,

basically, I cannot take any other oil except VCO & olive oil. Our

old dog Sammy takes it as a supplement, so do many of our friends.
