on cocount oil and health

http://www.coconutresearchcenter.org/

Coconut oil was a very popular oil.... in this country.... before the campaign by the soy bean industry to eliminate it from our diets or so this site indicates.

And i have had an interest in food oils since the early sixties when the 'new' cooking oils such as canola started to become popular.

And then it was margarine versus butter followed by all vegetable oils where better than animal products.

Oh yes, some of us where interested in Linseed oil as a nutrient oil and it's name was soon changed to Flax seed oil though being the same oil but costing us more.

And more recently i became interested in Coconut oil as it is part of the formulation used to both prevent some viruses or bacteria infections and as well treat these

forms of disease. And usually combined with BHT.

Though i had been aware of the positive properties of BHT for some time from reading Mann and Fawkes paper in the late eighties.

But now and within the last few months i have been investigating coconut oil for other health issues such as controlling cholesterol

and maybe to eliminate secondary disease for people with gluten intolerance or actually, Celaic Disease.

Recently i have been buying Coconut oil on line and giving it to my dog and myself and i have to conclude even though this has been just a couple of months

i believe i am feeling better and experiencing general improvement in my health.

My dogs conclusion seems to be: More! and since we are talking science in the bowl here, i have to conclude she finds coconut oil beneficial and 

satisfying as well..

I noticed some of the sub site recommendations where for treating or preventing Dementia,  diabetes and also many of the gut problems that can be very serious and as well Arthritis.

Coconut oil is usually available at health food stores and the dosage recommended here is up to three and half tablespoons x day.

Their is a red unrefined c. oil also available and which maybe more nutritious. Though i just settled for the organic expeller pressed from Tropical Traditions which is on line and ships from Nevada.

Oh yes, the down side is palm oil is now being distilled in to a biodiesel. So people who have been depending on this for cooking and that's probably billions of people are now paying allot more for coconut oil.
