After receiving countless requests and emails we are happy to honor the wishes of our readers and write about this amazing fat.
Although this type of fat was blacklisted by the traditional medical system for the last 20-30 years, new studies have revealed amazing health benefits from it, even if consumed in large amounts.
In fact, the nations that consume the highest concentrations of these fats are COMPLETELY rid of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Plus, obesity doesn’t exist among these people.
It may even reverse Alzheimer’s!
For centuries, coconut oil has been used as a miracle cure for a long list of health conditions.
In the many islands of the Pacific, the coconut plant has been named “The Tree of life, The Cure for All Illness.” In Ayurveda medicine, coconut oil has been used to cure many diseases and health conditions for over five thousand years!
Sadly, due to the confusing propaganda against saturated fats in Western countries, coconut oil has not been very popular until quite recently when researchers found undeniable proof of amazing health benefits that this fat offers.
[adrotate group=”5″]Studies done on South Pacific Islanders and Polynesian inhabitants revealed that among them, they had almost nonexistent cases of cardiovascular diseases or obesity.
After researching their eating habits and lifestyle, researchers found out that the secret of their amazing health lies in the frequent consumption of coconut oil. In fact, 60 percent of their daily calorie intake consists of coconut oil.
And even though coconut oil consists mainly of saturated fats, the study proves that frequent consumption of this particular type of fat drastically improves heart and overall health .
The secret of the saturated coconut fat miracle lies in its unique content of fat molecules. Coconut oil consists of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). These fatty acids increase good HDL cholesterol in blood but don’t promote the increase of harmful LDL cholesterol.
Another amazing quality of coconut oil is that these unique MCFAs are not being stored like most of other types of consumed fats. Instead, they go directly into the liver to be transformed into instant energy.
These characteristics of coconut oil are what make it such an outstanding tool to improve cardiovascular diseases like high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.
The list of health conditions coconut oil is able to treat is just starting:
Heals type 2 diabetes
The same fatty acids in coconut oil also contribute to its incredible ability to improve type 2 diabetes. It plays the role of controlling blood sugar by regulating insulin secretion.
There have been many reports of how frequent consumption of coconut oil helped bring down sugar levels back to normal. As we mentioned, coconut oil helps maintain healthy weight and that is a crucial factor in defeating type 2 diabetes.
Weight loss
Even though we are talking about a fat, this one actually helps lose weight. Fats from coconut oil are very easily digested and fuel the metabolism process. It helps burn calories faster, thus contributing to weight loss.
Alzheimer’s disease

Well, I certainly swear by it. It's about $20/litre and will get more expensive as its benefits are recognised mainstream, but whatever it costs it's cheaper than the consequences of the crap classed as the "western diet"!
Much as I think Coconut Oil is wonderful, I take exception to the statement that 'obesity doesn’t exist among these people'… anyone who has been to Tonga knows that it is one of the most obese nations in the world… and Samoans are hardly svelte. This may of course be due to the adoption of a more western diet… however I think you should aim for accuracy not hyperbole.
I think by now, people will begin to tap the immense benefit of this nature gift.
Coconut fat is the highest saturated edible food in the world, and it is the best for you. Mothers milk is full of saturated fat, plus a thousand other benefits for the new born child. The 'war' on fat has been going on for decades now; to the injury of a world, as a Dr. T. L. Cleave said, 'For a modern disease to be related to an old fashioned food is one of the most ludicrous things I ever heard in my lif.
For the sake of our hearts, we are told to replace traditional 'saturated' fats with processed, polyunsaturated vegetable oils.
There are three ways in which a substance can increase the risk of cancer: it can cause body cells to become cancerous; it can promote cancer's growth; it can suppress the immune system. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils have been shown to do all three.
The most far-reaching 'healthy' recommendation to come from government and nutritionists was that we should reduce our intakes of saturated fats – by which they meant animal fats and tropical oils – and change to eating polyunsaturated vegetable margarines and oils.
As a species we have eaten animal fats and tropical oils, all of which contain a significant amount of saturated fatty acids, for the whole of our existence. Until the 20th century, before which time coronary heart disease (CHD) was either unknown or extremely rare, such fats were the only ones we did eat. With that background, why should we change?
Fats are important constituents in our diet for many reasons. With the highest amount of calories of any food, they are an important energy source. Our bodies need energy all the time. The amount of energy coming from carbohydrates is stored in our bodies in the form of glucose and glycogen, but that store is very limited: enough for perhaps two days if we take it easy. Our bodies main energy store is body fat – a 'saturated animal fat' by the way.
But fats are much more than just an energy reserve. Our brains are mostly composed of fats; and fats are building blocks for body cell membranes and a wide range of hormones and hormone-like substances; fats also play an important part in cushioning vital organs.
Fats are also essential if our bodies are to use fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K; they are essential for the conversion of carotene from plant foods to vitamin A. Butter is the best source of these nutrients, and vitamin A is more easily absorbed and utilized from butter than any other source. In fact our bodies have great difficulty with the carotene in plants. Our digestive system is not well equipped to convert carotene to vitamin A. Only about one-sixth of the carotene that you eat may be converted, and only about one-third of that sixth is absorbed into the body. Much of the blindness in developing countries, is blamed on a lack of vitamin A, when it.
is actually due to a lack of fat in the diet, so that what vitamin A there is cannot be metabolized. In an attempt to stop blindness, rice is generally modified so that it contains more carotene – but if it doesn't contain fat, what's the point.
Fats are also needed for mineral absorption.
As well as having a wide range of important functions within our bodies, eating fat with any meal slows down the rate at which food is absorbed, so that we feel fuller more quickly and can go much longer without feeling hungry. And it is well nigh impossible to eat to much fat.
Natural fats and oils found in both animal fats and tropical oils such as olive oil, are entirely natural parts of our diet, and healthy. By changing, or allowing a change of dietary fat intakes from these healthy sources to processed vegetable margarines and cooking oils, nutritionists have changed our diet from tonic to toxic.
In primitive societies it is often fatness that is desired; in the West it is more likely to be slimness. Slimming magazines, women's fashions and the media portray the desirable woman as tall and thin.
We live in a time when slimness is the fashion but it was not always so – fashions change. Centuries ago, celibate early Christian writers were terrified of women's flesh. They were frightened of their own lascivious thoughts – but put the blame on women. In an attempt to make women sexless as possible, the Church urged women to fast. Travel through time to the 16th and 17th centuries and the fashion had changed dramatically. Rubens' paintings depict women who are considerably cuddlier. At the beginning of the 20th century it was also fashionable to be buxom, but by the 1920's busts were out and it was fashionable to be slim once more. In the 1930's the fashion changed to cuddly again – and back yet again with skinny fashion models in the 1960's. This look has persisted. As the late Duchess of Windsor famously said; 'You can never be to rich or to thin.'
However, we should be less concerned with what is fashionable and concentrate more on what is normal and what is healthy. In reality, the impeccably emaciated women employed in the fashion business today are not normal, they are freaks. The only safe way to be like them is to be born like them, but why would you want to look like them? Ask most men, for example, what shape they desire in a woman, and you will find they prefer one more considerably rounded. To know what shape a man prefers, look at the centrefold of a mans magazine. The ideal shape, from both a desirability and a health point of view, is nearer to that seen in a Rubens painting than on the catwalk. Indeed the major differences between the sexes is that healthy men tend to be hard and angular and healthy women soft and rounded.
In both sexes, body fat plays an important role: it fills hollows in the skeleton, the eye sockets, joints and neck; it cushions and protects internal organs and provides a reservoir of energy; it is fat that contours the body.When the body loses fat, it sags and shows the signs of ageing. Body fat is synonymous with the looks and actions of youth.
Women have more fat cells than do men. In a woman, up to 24% of body weight should be fat; in men only 12% should be fat. Curves distinguish women from men. The woman's extra fat is both a natural and a normal phenomenon brought about by sex hormones during puberty. As well as having an aesthetic value, it is of biological importance, preparing women for motherhood. A feminine body is a curvaceous body. Why try to lose it? It is much healthier to be satisfied with what you have rather than continually trying to change it. (From the book – "Natural Health and Weight loss" by a Barry Groves.)
I agree with the point that coconut oil is beneficial in cardio vascular diseases as lot of people in KERALA STATE IN INDIA use coconut oil regularly and I don’t find OBESE PEOPLE there. Thanks for the information.

I agree with the many wonders of coconut oil. However in Jamaica capitalists came in and destroyed most of the.
beautiful coconut trees which was the destinguishing plant and now many people have turned to marjarine a poor substitute for coconut oil. They have become obese as a result. I encourage all the islanders to return to nature and use coconut oil again.
I gave a 30 oz. jar of Nature’s Approved coconut oil to a friend of mine as his 91 year old mother had Parkinson’s disease and had stopped walking and talking. She was being looked after by a Jamaican aid who knew of the coconut oil benefits and gave her 2 tablespoons plus used it in all her cooking. In three days she was walking and talking again and survived another three years.
Similar results have been reported many times for people with Alzheimer’s both to Dr. Mary Newport (who first identified its beneficial effects on Alzheimer’s patients on her site and also to us.
I bought some coconut sugar, but I can’t find anything about the sugar being good or being just like all other sugar. Does anyone know?
Dear Silvia,
Regular table sugar and high fructose corn syrup don’t contain any vital nutrients and supply “empty” calories. Coconut sugar contains several key nutrients like Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Potassium, and some short chain fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants.
And the most important fact about Coconut sugar that it contains fiber called Inulin which slows down glucose absorption and that could explain why coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than regular table sugar.
However, Coconut sugar Does contain a high amount of calories, so you shouldn’t overload yourself just because it is healthier than regular sugar.
sounds like it would be worth a trail!
COSCO HAS A COLD PRESSED VIRGIN COCONUT OIL IN A 1.5 LITRE BOTTLE FOR $15
Bobbie Odonnell …Costco?
I would like to know the benefits of coconut oil over virgin olive oil or rice bran oil or sunflower oil.
– these oils are usually recommended by the health experts. Please help—-
Walter N A Nazareth
Dear Walter N A Nazareth,
Coconut oil is not only very healthy but it is also very unique as you can easily use it for cooking, baking and frying and it won’t lose it’s health benefits.
Virgin olive oil is extremely healthy as well, however it is not recommended to expose it to high temperatures ( cooking, baking, frying) as it might even become unhealthy when heated. Virgin Olive oil is the healthiest when used in salads, with bread or pasta.
Sunflower oil is suitable for cooking and is very high in essential Vitamin E and low in saturated fat but it’s content is the highest of most vegetable oils in Omega 6 fatty acids. Some studies suggest that Omega 6 has the negative effects to our health. However, be aware when choosing Sunflower oil in the supermarket, some of them are chemically refined, bleached and processed contain absolutely no vitamins or any health benefits…
Rice Bran Oil is excellent oil for cooking,baking, grilling and as a salad dressing. It is rich in vitamin E, contains no cholesterol or trans fatty acids and contains low amount of saturated fat.The recent study showed that Rice Bran oil had the effect to lower bad LDL cholesterol in rats.
The same as Virgin Olive oil Rice Bran Oil contains high amounts of oleic and linoleic fatty acids.
Hope it helps
Best regards
Well it is about time you people published this article,
on Coconut fat.
This fat is the miracle of all times.
Thank you very much,have a wonderful day…
Very good health benefit information with less cost
I have been using this oil no doubt it benefits but there is exaggeration in the claim
Early Polynesians were never obese and their staple diet consisted of coconut fats, complex carbohydrates, and seafood. As a Polynesian, I have always enjoyed a diet of many dishes cooked in coconut milk or oil. Coconut oil or and coconut milk also relieves constipation.
