I do know my cardiologist said to never use refined coconut oil...only virgin and very limited. But, who knows?
Yep, the kind of coconut oil I look for is virgin unrefined and organic.
Most people, including doctors have believed the bad press that coconut oil has gotten in the last 20 years. I believed it too until I read “The Coconut Oil Miracle”.
Fats like hydrogenated veg oils and canola are the real bad fats. But advertizing has said they are good and people believe it. Those oils are in all kinds of poor quality fake foods in the supermarket. For instance sunflower and safflower oils are not good for us. But they sound good. Canola is a word that was made up. The “Can” stands for Canada. Canola is a genetically modified version of the old grain called rapeseed. Canola is a bad fat that millions of us have used.
Coconut oil is much maligned, while true unhealthy oils get good press. The makers of other oils spread false info on coconut oil.
Most doctors will say it is bad for us. They are wrong and have bought the lies. These are the same doctors that don’t know about modern food allergy tests and offer their patients psychiatric drugs instead of the real cure of eating non-allergenic food.
Bruce Fife’s book “The Coconut Oil Miracle” explains it all and why coconut oil, meat and milk is good, and canola and other oils are actually bad.
It has to do with long chain vs.short chain fatty acids.
That book explains it in great detail.
Traditional doctors never would have offered me or my sister the Meridian Valley type of food allergy blood test, and we’d both be sicker and on our way to a slow painful decline. Most doctors offer old fashioned skin tests for allergies for a few things only.
I never limit my coconut oil. If I haven’t cooked or baked with it, I eat a spoonful every day for healthy cell walls,to go with the nutrition I give the cells. The book “Never Be Sick Again” explains that.
It’s a lot of info, added to my food sensitivities, but I need to use it all to be healthy.
I have only run into one person this year, who knows that coconut oil and other coconut products are healthy. Everyone else cringes and says what they heard over the last decade.
I always go outside the box to get the truth. In the case of my sister seeking help away from her traditional doctor, it saved us both.
Cheers!
