Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 , I thought so too. The explanations in the postings made by ANH-VCO producers about Vitamin E was really very very convincing. They shifted the consumers focus to Vitamin E deliberately, the reason I was convince to try it, for they market their VCO this way. Seemingly facts? or mere presumptions? I am still researching and finding out what is true. But as they claim in this posting below: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 02:51:37 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: ANH-VCO - Presumptive Claim " We can only get the best result from the the REAL one. " ----------------------------------------------------------------- The REAL one now, seems to be otherwise? Who knows they might be right? Just being critical.

This is something that many have missed or taken for granted. This tocopherol is also only found in VCO done following the Absolutely no heat-cold process because Tocopherol is very sensitive to heat and is eliminated when the oil or raw material is exposed or subjected to heat. > > Most VCO that are labelled Cold pressed subject their finished product to some heat and loses the tocopherol content of the oil in the process. They subject the VCO to heating to minimize or lessen the moisture content that most believe can lengthen the shelf life of the product. > > VCO produced from dessicated coconut do not have Tocopherol from the start because tocopherol comes from that part of the coconut which these producers have to eliminate and throw away to have really white dessicated coconut meat product. > > This is why a VCO that is produced following the tedious method of cold process has actually a longer shelf life because it has not oxidized in the process and still has the anti-oxidant present. > > __________________________________________________________ > Never miss a thing.
