Re: Coconut oil - Refined, Bleached or Deoderized

[Guest guest]

it is best to buy the non-deodorized coconut oil but the deordorized CO still

has benefits too (not as many) for those who don't like the smell/taste of CO.

Carolyn,

Do you know which benefits are lost? Does the lauric acid remain in tact with

the steam deoderization? On bee's website for candida, some of the brands she

recommends have undergone this process so it makes me think the steamed is still

beneficial for people with candida but I am not sure. I really can't stand the

taste of coconut oil. It's just over the years, it's really gotten old for me.

Which brands don't do those things?

this says the free fatty acids are removed

http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/expeller-pressed-coconut-oil.htm

you could contact WFN about other benefits that are lost.

maybe you could ask on Bee's group too.

what are the brands she recommends that have been steamed? I see her

recommending unrefined virgin coconut oil from Mountain Rose Herbs or from

Nutiva.

Let me try this one more time, I have tried three times to post this and it the

page keeps refreshing only to erase my post.

The brands she recommends that are steamed, as far as I can read are TT and WFN.

I read somewhere Jarrow also uses steaming.

WFN says " This yields a very pure, uncontaminated coconut oil. Though not a

virgin oil, it still melts at 76 & #65533; F, is very light and creamy smooth,

containing the same medium chain fatty acids as virgin coconut oil. " Key word

being " same " So then what are " free " fatty acids and what does their loss mean.

Also her recommendations are not based on merit exclusively b/c those brands are

sponsors on her website and she even says this

" Only Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is Recommended "

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/nutiva.php

So who knows which is the best. They mainly seem to come from the phillipines

and are dried indoors under 100 degrees. I don't what temperatures the steam

reaches or if hurts anything or why the recommendation is nondeoderized when

being nondeoderized by steam may not alter it too much. Maybe I'll call TT

tomorrow and see if they know anything about steam or free fatty acids.

www.glorybeefoods.com sells their extra virgin coconut oil for $23 a gallon.  I

don't know how good of quality it is though.

To follow through with this, I spoke with Jarrow today and they said the profile

for lauric acids is practically the same for the steamed non-virgin one vs. the

extra virgin. The nonvirgin seems like it goes through a longer process of

drying and the steaming is in part to make sure nothing unsavory has grown in

it. When I asked her what is lost in the steaming, she said volatile oils. I

also spoke with WF and they said the steaming " gets rid of the yucky stuff like

enzymes " that sounded weird. They said would email with more info.
