Book Summary
If there was an oil you could use for your daily cooking needs that
helped protect you from heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative
conditions, improved your digestion, strengthened your immune system, and
helped you lose excess weight, would you be interested? No such oils exists you say? Not so! There is an oil that can do all this
and more. No, it's not olive oil, it's not canola oil, or safflower oil or
any of the oils commonly used for culinary purposes. It's not flaxseed oil,
evening primrose oil, or any of the oils sold as dietary supplements. It's
not rare or exotic. It's ordinary coconut oil. But wait, isn't coconut oil a saturated fat? And isn't saturated fat bad?
because coconut oil is primarily a saturated oil, it has been blindly
labeled as bad. It is lumped right along with beef fat and lard with the
assumption that they all carry the same health risks. However, researchers
have clearly shown that the oil from coconuts, a plant source, acts
differently than the saturated fat from animal sources. The oil from
coconuts is unique in nature and provides many health benefits obtainable
from no other source. What Coconut Oil DOES NOT Do: * Does not contain cholesterol. * Does not
