great info–eye openingBy C. Watkins on February 1, 2005

I very much enjoyed reading this book. Much information is given on the health benefits (yes BENEFITS) of saturated fats, the “smear” campaign of the vegetable oil industry, and practical application of coconut oil for many health problems. Coconut oil DEFINITELY helps me to eat less and have more energy. It took a couple of days for it to kick in, but now when I eat a meal with 1 T of coconut oil, I don’t have to eat for HOURS, where previously, I felt compelled to eat every 2 hours–and thus, overeating. The coconut oil is keeping me healthy; it eliminated a sinus infection much quicker than antibiotics, without the side effects. Please look into this book–it can seriously improve your health.

Even better… now Dr Mary Newport (Alzheimers: what if there was a cure?) is showing that the short chain fats in coconut can reverse alzheimers. She also shows convincingly that HDL (the good cholesterol) goes up and LDL (the bad cholesterol) goes down when you eat coconut. However overall cholesterol levels often don’t change much… which was what fooled people into thinking it was bad for you. Likewise much of the original research was done with hydrogenated coconut oil (which means it contained trans fats)… and we know that trans fats cause heart disease!!!The science is starting to come in and it’s supporting coconut as a healthy fat.
