Coconuts kill people! The oil from these nuts is especially harmful (according to the 'professional health institutions'). Coconut oil kills people too, according to this very sarcastic individual!

The prefect recipe for getting an important, much-debated point across to people must be:

one good dose of sarcasm

3 liters of factual truth 

2 cups of wakeful awareness 

a giant bag of comedy

:-)

By now you get the point: Coconut Oil is by far one of the best oils for you! After this, you will not be reaching for that other oil.

The Why

There have been more than 1,500 studies proving coconut oil to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Coconut oil benefits and uses go far beyond what most people realize. The humble Coconut is a versatile super-food!

The studies have uncovered some of the secrets to this amazing super-food: namely healthy fats called medium-chain fatty acids (Caprylic acid, Lauric acid, and Capric acid).

Around 62% of the oils in coconut is made up of these three healthy fatty acids. 91% of the fat in coconut oil is healthy saturated fat.

Most of the other fats we consume daily, take a long time to digest. The healthy fats and acids in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a three-step process to be turned into fuel, while the other (unhealthy) fats have a 26-step process to be turned into fuel! Coconut oil is a very efficient fuel source for our body.

The Fatty facts

• Fats are easier to digest and allow for faster more efficient energy release
• Are not stored in the body as fat resource
• Are antimicrobial and anti fungal

According to the vast amount of medical research, coconut oil benefits the body in the following ways (somewhat of a never ending list!)

How to Take Coconut Oil

You can use coconut oil for all of the cooking and baking. You can add a few tablespoons of it in a smoothy. Coconut Oil is by far the oil of choice - just look at all the beneficial healing properties. It's an unrefined, natural, organic oil and has a nice flavor. It does not contain the harmful toxins other refined cooking oils do.

Where to get coconut oil

You can get coconut oil from most health stores, or if you prefer to shop online I can recommend I-Herb - they sell awesome healthy products, are very cheap compared to other natural health food stores and ship very fast. 

Make sure to buy virgin coconut oil as it has not been refined, bleached or deodorized. Look for it in a glass jar instead of plastic.

Personally I can recommend getting the Nutiva, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, 54 fl oz (1.6 L) it is highly reviewed by users (1757 positive reviews!).

The above list is the shortened version of the many benefits...
