Coconut Oil: the Fountain of Youth.. and the world is flat !!
Coconut oil is a highly processed oil solid at room temperature with a whopping 92 % saturated fat. ( 14 % for olive oil ) Second : Coconut had a very low smoking point (350F / 177C) turning this oil into a toxic product loaded with trans-fat due to its major oxidation. Trans-fatty acids increased from 0.1% at baseline to 14.5% after sauteing and shallow frying and 15.8–16.8% after deep frying.
Cancer : it was found that diets containing 3% sunflowerseed oil (polyunsaturated fat) and 17% beef tallow or coconut oil (saturated fats) enhance tumorigenesis as much as a diet containing 20% sunflowerseed .
Heart disease : Study showed saturated fat in coconut oil impaired anti-inflammatory ability of HDL cholesterol. Researchers from the Heart Research Institute in Australia studied the body response from eating meals containing good fats versus bad fats. Participants were fed with meals prepared with either coconut oil (high in “bad” saturated fats) or safflower oil (high in “good” polyunsaturated fats). After only 3 hours, researchers found the participants fed with the coconut meal high in saturated fat had a significantly reduced blood flow due to arteries’ reduced ability to expand. After 6 hours, researchers found that the good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol’s anti-inflammatory properties had decreased after the saturated coconut meal, but improved after the polyunsaturated safflower meal. The results of this study were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in August 2006.
What could we expect from a product with 92 5 saturated fat ?/! you can’t even put it on your skin : it gives skin cancer but it could be good for your hair ! Thats all folks !
