Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have used coconut oil in some face and body creams, it is very greasy, so can't use too much, but very nourishing for the skin! And does make the cream a little fluffier too. I have never cooked with it, so don't know much about that.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hi: If it is saturated, it means no double or triple bonds in the molecule, that means if it goes to constitute your cell membranes, free radicals cannot attack your cell membranes, well again the question if it is good a less saturated so they can decay, the eternal question, is better to have insaturated oils in your membrane, or insaturated, well I will be continuing using sunflower oil, OO is also saturated, and corn oil is too insaturated, never means that saturated will get in your circulatory system, that is cholesterol, and no vegetable oils have it ,or trans oils, wow, what a dilemma....Ruth __________________________________________________ Correo Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yes it is true coconut oil is high in saturated fat, BUT it is vegetable fat and is far, far easier for the body to process than say an animal fat. Again I want to reiterate the pacific islander culture. They use coconut oil for everything, probably 80% of what they eat is fried in coconut oil, yet they maintain gorgeous, lean physiques. It is lifestyle, most of us could do without the mcdonalds. If coconut fat was the only fat we were getting we would be lean, mean health machines!!! Please, to the group, do a search on some of sciences recent findings on coconut oil. It truly is an amazing oil. Good luck and happy new year everyone. Have a great day, R.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hi Connie - I don't think coconut oil is particularly moisturizing for your skin - what other oils do you have on hand to mix with it??? when I think of moisturizing oils I think of macadmaia, apricot kernel, avocado, jojoba, ...and adding vita e, vita a and for sealing it in I think of lanolin or beeswax... and of course, it's best to apply any moisturizer after bathing to help retain moisture to your skin...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Oh Willow No, Coconut oil is one of natures greatest moisturizers! To use pure, virgin coconut oil as just a straight moisturizer you would get the healthiest, most supple looking skin on the mainland. The pacific islanders are a pretty healthy looking bunch, dont ya think? Avocado is a good moisturizer...... lanolin is an animal fat, ick! Have a great day, R. Lorenti Jr. mlorenti@...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi Tonya, Since I'm a raw foodist, only raw oils will do. Usually cold pressed ones. From olives: extra virgin olive oil ( I eat with salads, I add green honey and balsamic vinegar) From coconuts: virgin coconut oil ( drink straight if supplementing, my wife uses 3 tablespoons on an empty stomach in the morning if she is constipated, it is FAT that makes people move their bowels, not fibers ) The brands I buy in manila are Carica (cheaper) and The Farm at San Benito (expensive) The informative book you want to read regarding http://tinyurl.com/coconutcures Even if my wife and kids eat some cooked food sometimes, I have sternly warned our personal cook from frying the food of my family. If the maids want fried food because they are deficient in fats, then they are free to fry their own food. Frying is really, really bad. Personally, I only use VCO for massage, mosquito bites, and VCO detoxing, which should restore balance by wiping out excessive yeast throughout the body. http://www.curemanual.com/detox-protocols/intestinal-cleansing/virgin-coconut-oi\ l-detox Since you are transitioning: This raw vegan community may be of help http://www.living-foods.com/ , their raw vegan forum is http://www.rawfoodsupport.com/ (raw organic fruits are better, try 50% raw fruits or more) All raw fruits, raw vegs, raw nuts and raw animal food should be organic or wild. Ocean sources are more nutritious because the land soils are depleted by centuries of agriculture. Learn to use a refractometer to be able to positively identify which raw organic produce you are buying is the most nutritious http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net/refractometer.htm If you choose a predominantly raw vegan approach always have some raw nuts handy to supply you fats. A good raw vegan guru is Wolfe. Get his book the Sun Food Diet, he teaches how raw veganism is done right http://tinyurl.com/sunfood If you have access to organically grown valencia oranges, then you are a good candidate to do Orange Juice fasting. 14-40 days depending on your weight. It's so easy and should fix your internal organs and metabolic processes, infuse you with minerals, infuse you with vitamin C, add red blood cells, cure cooked food addiction. In a nutshell: Squeeze 1 pint of fresh oranges and sip distributed the whole day. Drink home distilled water with it or separately when thirsty. You can drink unlimited home distilled water. Do an enema every night. Better if you have a colon cleanser every day to help you poop everyday. The background to orange juice fasting is http://barefootherbalistmh.com/index.php?page=barefoot The support forum for orange juice fasting is http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=626 The video tutorial to orange juice fasting is http://barefootherbalistmh.com/index.php?page=members The order of doing this could be: Pollution avoidance, avoid all sources of isopropyl alcohol in rubbing alcohol, makeup, soaps, shampoos, perfumes, cologne, deodorants, toothpaste, etc. VCO Detox Eat nutritious food (follow sunfood diet) Parasite Cleansing, Liver flush at least 2x, dental cleanse (remove all amalgams, remove all root canals) Eat nutritious food (follow sunfood diet) Orange Juice Fast Eat nutritious food (follow sunfood diet) (after some few months when you are feeling better or too thin or feel cold, you may want to add raw ocean fishes and raw fertilized eggs) The final maintaining diet true human diet I believe is a raw paleolithic diet see http://www.rawpaleo.com/ I think I got carried away and wrote too much.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I think I read in the Coconut Oil Book I got from Tropical Traditions that they tested it after 7 years and it still was not rancid. I suppose that depends on the kind too. I get virgin organic from Omega Nutrition. It doesn't have a coconut taste so it works for everything. I also buy Coconut Ghee which is good in recipes.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I use off and on , hard to know how much it helps as I am taking many other things. medium chain fatty acids also help to increase secretory IGA which I bet you a lot us are low in. I know I am. Siga is first line of defence against pathogens in the gut and respiratory tract. Seems like a good thing to take to get your good fats. cheers From: rockt999 <ricor@...> Subject: Coconut Oil Received: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 1:22 PM Does anyone use this and if so, any benefits? From Wikipedia: Jon J Kabara[20] and other researchers have reported that certain fatty acids, primarily MCFA, and their derivatives (e.g., monoglycerides) have potent antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiprotozoal properties. When coconut oil is consumed, the MCT are broken down into individual medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides which can kill or inactivate disease-causing microorganisms inside the body. This is another reason why MCT are so important in human breast milk. They help protect newborns from infections for the first few months of their lives while their immune systems are still developing.[ 21] Unlike antibiotics which are only effective against bacteria, MCFA and monoglycerides can kill bacteria as well as viruses, fungi, and protozoa, which makes coconut oil a potentially useful aid in fighting infections.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I used it after I heard it was good to kill Candida. Two different times I was making a smoothie and probably put more than the recommended TBSP in. Both times I became VERY ill. You must be careful when you use CO. It is very powerful. I had classic flu signs with impaired breathing within hours and it lasted 24 hours. I'm sure it was killing nasty stuff. I'm not any better for it, but now I only cook with it at maybe a teaspoonful per meal.

From Wikipedia: Jon J Kabara[20] and other researchers have reported that certain fatty acids, primarily MCFA, and their derivatives (e.g., monoglycerides) have potent antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiprotozoal properties. When coconut oil is consumed, the MCT are broken down into individual medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides which can kill or inactivate disease-causing microorganisms inside the body. This is another reason why MCT are so important in human breast milk. They help protect newborns from infections for the first few months of their lives while their immune systems are still developing.[21] Unlike antibiotics which are only effective against bacteria, MCFA and monoglycerides can kill bacteria as well as viruses, fungi, and protozoa, which makes coconut oil a potentially useful aid in fighting infections.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 My triglycerides were low and my doctor told me to take 1 Tbsp a day of coconut oil because my body was using fat around my organs (heart, brain, etc) for energy and the coconut oil would provide it some of that fat. I had to built up to the full amount a bit slowly as it does cause die-off. I LOVE the stuff now and probably consume more than the 1 Tbsp a day. My son loves it, too.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I believe the Lou Ann oil is refined and probably hydrogenated. The good one usually says "Virgin" or "Extra Virgin" on the label and costs quite a bit more. Although I'm using "Now" brand this time (for medicinal purposes or to add raw to food as I also buy one from an Indian store for cooking), from what I've seen Nutiva is the most cost effective one when bought in the 54 oz. jar (Vitacost.com had a really good price).Raquel> > > > Coconut oil increases metabolism> > Steph> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
