Sterols in VCO

[Guest guest]

Duncan:

I looked at the contents of the Sterols in VCO and there is a small amount

and certainly enough to make a difference according to Bruce Fife AND there

is even MORE STEROLS in Red Palm Oil that are not even shown on the

ingredients list on his site. It said, they're never listed. The research is

lagging but he has found many references to the Sterol content of both these

oils in the Medical Research Papers that have been published.

it is again said differently

At least we've found out thanks to that coconut oil contains

such low amounts of sterols that they are not likely to confer health

or disease. This falls in line with the amounts in other common foods.

The data also did not support Bonnie's contention that the sterols

that are present in low amounts are converted to pregnenolone in the

gut.

Bonnie, I noted from the reference posted by that the amount

of sterols in these low sterol foods are similar to other low sterol

foods in your diet, and that because only small amounts of dietary

sterols are absorbed from the food the actual amount used at all in

the body is much less than what's in the food. Even the small amount

that is absorbed is not necessarily converted into pregnenolone

because hormone creation is a controlled process.

I agree sterols are good for you but I don't think these oils qualify

for mention as a sterol therapy when a single cup of weak hops tea has

dozens of times the amount of sterols in it.

I totally agree Duncan, you are the man.
