Coconut oil

[Guest guest]

I need to clarify my statement regards coconut oil. I am a great proponent of

coconut oil. It is the superior high heat oil. Unequaled. The anti microbial

and other health benefits again, fantastic. However, I would not be a proponent

on using it for " everything " . We need a broad spectrum of oils. Since it is

saturated it is a " heavier " , " thicker " oil. It is more stabilizing (binding) in

the presence of certain proteins, which could give it more of a propensity to

form masses than say a mono unsaturate. I am definitely not recommending the

elimination of coconut oil from your diet just the reduction from the main fat.

Adding thin viscosity cold pressed oils such as apricot kernel, walnut, etc. for

use in non cooked dishes (like salads) or applied to dishes after the cooking

process might be helpful. Fish or krill oil supplementally if you are not vegan

on moral grounds. -Dave

I was told to use virgin centrifuged coconut oil for everything, including

cooking, by Annette, she said it would be very helpful in ridding the body

from parasites and would help remove bad cholesterol. It has been

recommended as THE oil to help lose weight. She also believes that VCCO is

excellent for cooking at high temperatures. I do take lecithin.

BTW, my cholesterol is normal.

I sure would love to see the dialog between you & Annette, to shed light in

our discussions. I respect both of your opinions, Dave, which is of course

confusing me. It would be great to see a definite agreement or some clarity

on this very confusing subject. Again I am a novice and ready to learn.
