Read about this not too long ago. Been adding to black coffee in the morning. Supposed to give added energy, stave off hunger, reduce belly fat etc. Been using it for about a month.
Coconut oil retailers thank you as do vegan advocacy groups.
I prefer avocado oil. Far more versatile. That and lard of course. Nothing comes close to the taste of rendered pig.
What is a good kind of coconut oil to get?? Virgin extra Virgin??I also like red palm oil- how does that compare??
Remember. Canola doesn't exist. It's RAPESEED. But since that won't sell. ..... Canola.
This world is so biased.
Compare how? Taste? Cooking? Coconut oil is all organic and virgin. Virgin is a bullshit marketing term anyway. Remember. Canola doesn't exist. It's RAPESEED. But since that won't sell. ..... Canola.
From what I've read, there's virgin and RBD processed (refined, bleached and deodorized) coconut oil. The second one has a more neutral taste and is less nutrient rich, but not less healthy than the virgin oil.
Any double blind peer reviewed studies?
From your article:One of the misconceptions propagated on the Internet is that only virgin coconut oils are healthy, while refined coconut oils are not, and that they actually might be harmful. This is generally untrue, with a couple of exceptions that I will explain below. These RBD coconut oils have been in the market for many years now, and are the primary dietary oils consumed by billions of people in tropical climates around the world. The RBD refining process does nothing to alter the fatty acid profile of coconut oil, so all the medium chain fatty acids are kept intact. - See more at: http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/what-type-of-coconut-oil-is-best-how-to-choose-a-coconut-oil/#sthash.EJhtwMgc.dpuf
