Healthy Cooking Oil

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil—
the ‘Good’ Saturated Fat Extra virgin coconut oil
is a miracle oil that not only is wonderful for taste but also for fat loss,
fighting infections, supporting healthy thyroid function, and stimulating
the body’s production of important anti-aging hormones.

We’ve been telling you about the good fats you should incorporate in your diet, especially the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. But, there are also beneficial
saturated fats. Yes, you heard right, healthy saturated fats! Some types of saturated fats can be extremely important to your health, and you probably know next to nothing about them.
Extra virgin coconut oil is perhaps the healthiest saturated fat. But you wouldn’t know this from our modern so-called diet and health experts. As a savvy health consumer, you have probably heard from the talking heads of the health community as they consistently warn us to avoid saturated fats, especially those from beef and dairy, as well as tropical oils such as coconut, palm and palm kernel oils. These modern health experts tell us saturated fat consumption is responsible for heart disease, obesity and cancer. They are missing the target. These are the same so-called health experts who for years told us to load up on pasta and refined grains and whose poor advice must now bear some responsibility for a national epidemic of obesity and degenerative diseases. Fortunately, Dr. Mary Enig and other independent thinkers and scientists
have written very persuasively that the studies done in the 1950s that formed the basis of the “bad” fat hypothesis were flawed. The original research failed to distinguish between different
kinds of fat, notes Dr. Enig. This was a fundamental flaw, one so obvious to us today, but, in earlier times, differentiating between the types of fats apparently was not thought to be as important. The early research, on which our dietary myths are now based, concluded all fat
to be bad—saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. Now, of course, we know that not
all fats are created equal, and that...
