Coconut Oil: Good or Bad?

Southern B

Hey everyone!

I was listening to the CDs from Dr. Andrew Weil this weekend and I was confused about something he mentioned about Coconut Oil. He said people should avoid eating anything prepared with CO because it is high in saturated fats and will pose health risks.

This confuses me greatly beacuse I have been told by many sources that CO is an EXCELLENT source of Omega 3 and essential fatty acids. I have been told to eat a tablespoon up to 5 times daily and use it externally as well as cook extensively with it. I have only been using the extra virgin, non refined CO because I like the coconutty taste and smell. Plus the EVCO has more health benefits. I use a lot of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on a regular basis because of the healthy aspects of it as well.

What is confusing me is that saturated fats should be avoided, yes, but I understand that EVCO is a medium-chain saturated fat and that it is digested differently in the body than the other type of saturated fats like in animal products. We eat normal amounts of meat and greater amounts of whole grains and vegetables. I thought that because CO was vegetable and not animal, then it would be a better source of EFAs.

Dr. Weil also states that Canola Oil is better for you for cooking with. I have heard the complete opposite! Of course Olive Oil is preferred over most others, but I am wondering if Dr. Weil is confusing Canola Oil and Coconut Oil?

Can anyone shed some light on this subject? I don't want to give up my EVCO if I can help it. I have 160 different ways to use CO and they all seem beneficial so far.

Thanks!!

Answer
I don't know who Dr. Weil is, but if you have represented his claims accurately, he has no idea what he is talking about. Canola oil, which is produced from genetically modified rapeseed, is one of the worst of the "edible" oils that you can put in your body, especially when used in any kind of cooking other than baking. It converts readily to toxic substances when subjected to the heat used for sauteeing and frying.

There is a growing body of evidence that refutes the theory that natural saturated fats are any less healthy than unsaturated fats, when consumed in moderation. There is also now a damning body of evidence that reveals artificial, hydrogenated fats like margarine and shortening to be extremely unhealthy.

There is nothing wrong with eating coconut oil, either raw or cooked. In fact, it is one of the more beneficial fats you can consume, including when used for frying. Other healthy fats include olive oils, grapeseed oil and, for high-temperature frying, peanut oil and pure, non-hydrogenated lard (hard to find in regular grocery stores).

If you want to avoid the health problems that have been associated with saturated fats in the junk science community and popular lore for the last 50 years, you need to do two things:

1) Eat a diet based on whole foods, avoiding sugars and other simple carbohydrates, and keep your calorie intake low enough to avoid gaining excessive body fat.

2) Get a minimum of 45 minutes of cardio endurance exercise 4 days a week. Muscle strength training is also beneficial, but cardio training is more important for general health and fitness.

If you do these things, you don't need to worry about how much saturated fat or cholesterol you consume. Eat as much shrimp sauteed in butter with avocado sauce as you like. Get rid of your canola and soy oils and stick with healthy fats, whether saturated or unsaturated, vegetable or animal.

How beneficial Butter is for Health?

Shariq Kha

Answer
the fake plastic butter (new with plastic!) with chemicals to make it look like butter? (dyes and stuff)
or you mean ghee? real butter?

http://www.hybridrastamama.com/2012/01/160-uses-for-coconut-oil.html

use coconut oil for its 160 health benefits, way more then butter and that ghee taste bad..
the coconut oil taste good! on food..
I looked up the health benefits of ghee it was a few but the coconut oil oh yeah! its a lot! :)

make sure your coconut oil is organic for health, germ killing madness!

the oil will wipe the floor with germs I know I eat it every time im sick
recovery time is 1-2 days from the flu (not 1-2 weeks)
mono? sure 2 week recovery! not 6 months like last time
works great! you'll never deal from being sick from a germ again
as long as you have the oil in the house
with that 2 year shelf life and no refrigeration needed its easy to keep anywhere.!

but i'll be nice here is the answer.
What are the Health Benefits of Ghee?

Ghee benefits your health in many ways:

Ayurveda lists Ghee benefits for healthier skin, increased mental clarity and good for digestion.
Ghee helps your body assimilate nutrient from the foods you eat.
hmm.. let me guess fat soluble vitamins? just like the coconut oil? a c d and e? yeah..

Ghee has no salt (never new that one)
Ghee benefits those who are lactose intolerant because ghee is lactose free.
(never new that either)
Ghee is believed to contain anti-cancer and anti-viral properties.
really just like the coconut oil?
Hmm.. let me guess does it has a 97% success rate just like the coconut oil?
does it promote the production of T-cells that kill cancer cells? probably, possibly.
hmm.. but the coconut oil is anti-bacterial to! anti-protoza also. and anti-inflammatory! anti-parasitic to!

Contains CLA or conjugated linolenic acid which helps to promote weightloss and aids in getting rid of belly fat and (coconut oil does that also!) has that acid as well. coconut oil speeds up metabolic rate!
Ghee helps to protect the body from heart disease, especially when unsed instead of other, less healthy fats contained in butter, margarine and hydrogenated oils.
wow coconut oil does that too and taste better! in lab animals it makes the artery "wider"
it even happened on the back of my hand it got wider :)
also promotes fat from sticking to!

I bought some gee from the health food store "ick" wont ever do that again
taste like :( coconut oil taste good :) feel free to try it!
if no health food store around don't worry amazon has it.

here is the health benefits right from the doc!
he wrote a book (get the book)



Best wishes,

I live in oregon and I have state medical insurance.?

maddy2010

I just was discharged from a partial hospital program after 3 months and I'm wondering if there are any residential centers that are paid for by state insurance. Even if you don't live here, are there any in your state that accept state insurance?
I just need some hope. I was upset and overwhelmed on Friday when I "graduated" from the program because I am still on weight restoration and that it where the problem lies, I don't want to eat. I eat, I just severely restrict my calorie intake.

Answer
you can eat just make sure its..

1. Organic
2. Whole wheat
3. Coconut oil is safe up to 350 avoid all veggie oils..
4. Lots of B-17 found in seeds has anti-cancer properties.. (just like organic coconut oil)
5. Don't eat gmo food!

look up dr bruce fife on coconut oil

the coconut oil can speed up metabolic rate and you can lose weight on it
1-4 table spoons per day

I lost a few pounds on it :)

lots of plant based diet, organic green foods!

Moringa is very healthy as well :)


http://wakeup-world.com/2012/03/02/160-uses-for-coconut-oil/

Here are 160 uses for coconut oil :) make sure its organic (glass jar is best)

https://leafpower.wordpress.com/moringa-benefits/ Here is what moringa can do

its up their with bee-pollen (Personally I think moringa does more then bee-pollen)

Garden of life Raw meal is very healthy to! :) his liquid multivitamin is a good product as well.


when sick use lemon water, coconut oil and, salt water to kill germs (cheap and it works)

avoid the msg "no chips, no pop never" msg tricks your brain so you think your full when your not. so you keep on eating it kills brain cells to :(

You can do it! keep on beveling in your self! you can do it! yes you can :)

Orlando

Seriously im tired of this, im a solo singer at my high school (im 15) and 6 and a half months ago i kept losing my voice and felt a burn so i thought it was a sore throat so i did vocal rest for 2 weeks but no luck, so i went to the doctor and they took a look at my vocal cords and saw some acid reflux so they gave me this pill Called lanzoprazole for the acid and told me to change my life style, so i did everything the doctor told me and im still with acid reflux but way worse than it ever was especially when i eat vegetables, and the worst is that my solo voice is gone and its raspy now, it hurst 24/7, the worst is that my dad thinks its nothing because he doesnt want to pay for doctors, i really cant afford to spend 20,000 dollars on surgery, can somebody tell me cure, a legit one, i looked everywhere and everytime i find something that sounds good it says "want to get rid of gerd, then buy this book" which is bullshit since if they wanted to help you they would tell you instead of making you buy their shit, but im really depressed because i know ill have to live in diets and taking medications for the rest of my life and still have reflux which will tear my voice eventually, i need help

Loss of sensation during sex?

fourcandle

My husband and i have been together for almost 8 years i am 34 years old with no children
and until recently have enjoyed a good healthy sex life - we communicate well,get on and certainly love and respect eachother in short there are no problems within our relationship , i have no hang ups with sex - nor was i sexually abused as a child. (i only mention this because while reseaching my potential problem it seems to crop up)
The problem......I seem to fall in the minority that i can come while being penetrated - which as you would expect is very pleasurable - i can also come using the other methods. Recently while haveing sex i was just about to climax when everything just vanished no feeling at all - to the point where i sat up frustrated and shouted "WTF? wtf just happened!" i experience numbness when my husband is inside me , simply no feeling at all! and i've taken the DIY approach and still can't get myself going!?
My diet is healthy , i don't drink to excess,i exercise.... anyone get ANY idea's wtf is going on here cos i'm pretty perplexed!!! i'm not numb anywhere else. i also do pelvic floor exercises
Please genuine answers only - idea's of what i can do to get my feeling back (other than the usual of - take your time,get him to massage you,help him to get you in the mood...etc..)
don't really want to try enhancers just yet xxx
Many many thanks

Answer
http://www.hybridrastamama.com/2012/01/160-uses-for-coconut-oil.html

make sure jar is organic..

this stuff seems to enhance privates.. how?
when I put this oil on my privates it makes me instantly erect.. faster then it usually grows.. + I never new it could get that big to be honest! I took out my finger and measured and went hmm.. its bigger then usual. so if I had a girlfriend she would possibly have similar results if she applied it on her parts.
at my age erections happen once a month if ever but with this oil? very easy to do.. it does stop the smell in my privates :) and it got rid of the jock itch to! (its anti-fungal)
+ it gets rid of the smell in my privates the main reason for putting it on..
also you can use it as a personal lubricant! those people on yahoo answers who I tell about it as a personal lubricant report back and say its the best thing they have ever used! so give it a go.. stuff is 100% safe for your privates.. I even put the stuff on toilet paper to stop UTI infections witch is working great! in the shower it works as a deodorant! way better then anything I ever tried before.

since its anti-viral anti-bacterial anti-fungal anti-inflammatory.. to be honest my privates have never felt healthier! so it should enhance your sex life.. I even pee with more force now so.. this oil is a great way to start!


how to use? eat the oil and apply all over privates daily.. in shower I do! works great!
sometimes my privates will feel good "like you know" kinda good when I put the oil on
so im sure it will help!
jar must be organic for health benefits.. make sure its organic!

oh and my age? im 30
erections are 95% easier with this oil.. so im sure it will help.
and before at my age they would happen 0.5% of the time
when I apply the oil? its extremely easy to get one..
so it will help your husband to "get ready"
and as far as what it will do to a girl? I'm not a girl I don't know but im sure it will help!

most girls report when it goes in their vagina they say no more Oder no more yeast infection etc etc
but as far as sexual function one couple said best stuff they ever used.. they said something about "we Had a really good night last night if you know what I mean" she said something like that after she voted me best answer.. and from what I have seen this stuff do to my own penis? yep I know it will help!

again make sure jar is organic if jar is not organic the oil is bleached and deodorized and it loses its effectiveness so make sure its organic! glass jar is "best" but plastic will work to.

sold at amazon.com health food stores like the vitamin shoppe
brand I use? garden of life.. seems to taste the best for me..
but as far as personal lube goes? Dr bronners coconut oil seems to help more? its sold on amazon and whole foods as it if you do get that brand I have the "white kernel" version..

my penis skin feels REALLY healthy.. very spongy more then usual.. and I think the dr bronners oil has something to do with it..

http://www.amazon.com/Bronners-Fresh-pressed-Virgin-Coconut-Unrefined/dp/B0052AIF00/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1331412140&sr=8-2

amazon has it theirs the link so you can try that or the garden of life or a different brand and use witch ever one works best for you :) just make sure oil is "organic"


oh and your diet make sure you eat USDA organic NON GMO food.. that should help also!
