Coconut Oil

The seller that provides the best deal on Extra Virgin Cocunut Oil on Amazon differs from week to week. The most popular brands are Nature's Way, and Nutiva.

Of course, but completely not worth wasting the coconut oil for.

Coconut oil contains various chemicals, fractionation is simply separation according to volatility, so fractionated coconut oil contains only some or possibly one, of the components of whole oil.

NO. In fact, while coconut oil doesn't cause the diseaseof hyperthyroidism, it does cause the thyroid to become more active by up to 20% from what I have read. Now back to the original answer posted:

VIRGIN COCONUT OIL HAS NOT BEEN HYDROGENATED. (HYDROGENATION IS A CHEMICAL PROCESS WHICH ADDS HYDROGEN BONDS TO A MOLECULE. THE FOOD INDUSTRY HYDROGENATES MANY VEGETABLE OILS TO LENGHTEN SHELF LIFE (DECREASE SPOILAGE) AND ADD A MORE BUTTERY TASTE. IF COCONUT OIL IS NOT SPECIFICALLY NAMED "VIRGIN," CHANCES ARE VERY GOOD THAT IT HAS BEEN HYDROGENATED. HYDROGENATED FATS ARE "TRANS FATS" AND ARE KNOWN TO CONTRIBUTE TO HEART DISEASE. In health circles, coconut oil has become a subject of controversy. The Food and Drug Administration advises consumers to avoid coconut oil, a saturated fat. The American Medical Association agrees that saturated fats should be limited in our diets. Evidence in favor of coconut oil has not yet met the FDA’s standards for recommendation; studies are regarded as either inadequately controlled or not extensive enough to be conclusive. Coconut oil's main component is saturated fat. “Saturated fatty acids tend to raise levels of LDL cholesterol (‘bad’ cholesterol) in the blood. Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with heart disease,” according to the FDA. A heart-healthy diet does not exclude saturated fat; rather, an appropriate balance of saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats is best. Only a mixed-fat diet promotes a healthful ratio of LDL to HDL—the “good” cholesterol—and lowers the risk of heart disease.. However, processed or “partially hydrogenated” coconut oil is unhealthy. The fact is that when coconut oil is hydrogenated it becomes a trans fat, and trans fats are bad news. Trans fats have been closely associated with heart disease because they not only increase LDL cholesterol but impede the body’s ability to utilize HDL. Unless you are using virgin coconut oil, the only coconut oil in your diet may be hydrogenated, since that’s the form it takes in snack foods and nondairy creamers. It’s been suggested that coconut oil bolsters the immune system. Coconut oil may have properties like a natural antibiotic that renders some viruses, bacteria and fungi inactive. The work of Mary G. Enig, a biochemist who also has a doctorate in nutritional sciences, is often referenced by coconut oil enthusiasts. Enig says that the body uses an ingredient in coconut oil to make the disease-fighting substance monolaurin. (Read her speech "Health and Nutritional Benefits From Coconut Oil”). Infants use breast milk to make monolaurin, which may help prevent them from getting certain infections. According to the FDA, which has strict guidelines for validating the health benefits of foods and drugs, it “has not been petitioned to review claims for coconut oil.” More strongly, the Department of Health and Human Services sends warning letters to Web sites that market coconut-oil products based on therapeutic claims. The assertion that coconut oil can cure hypothyroidism appears to be untrue. The idea that coconut oil could cure an underactive thyroid was promoted in a 2003 article in Woman’s World magazine as well as other materials on coconut oil; however, the sources for these pieces have been questioned. According to experts at Mayo Clinic, “there is no evidence that coconut oil stimulates thyroid function. In fact, some research suggests that coconut oil may have a negative impact on the thyroid.” Used in moderation and in its virgin, unprocessed form, coconut oil may ultimately be revealed as a harmless, neutral food. But the dust is still settling on this battlefield. (information furnished by SG, a registered dietitian)

Coconut is most effective to cure molluscum contagiosum when used in conjunction with other natural products like clove oil and apple cider vinegar. Coconut oil is particularly good for use on young children because it does not sting the molluscum legions. On the other hand it is not very strong and does not kill off larger molluscum bumps.

Coconut Oil is high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL ) in your body but also help to convert the LDL "bad" cholesterol into good cholesterols. By Increasing the HDL's in the body, it helps promote heart health and lower the risk of heart disease.

Yes, I do it all the time and my cakes come out perfect.

Approximately 15,000 mg in a tablespoon of oil.

Coconut is mainly saturated fatty acid. It solidifies at 25C.

LouAna COis refined so that means it doesn't smell like coconut and may loose a small amt of its properties during the refining process. However, you still get the moisterizing benefits as you would from virgin/unrefined CO. Not sure if the bactericidal properties are the same as virgin CO

In my country (Malaysia) coconut oil was once the most widely used oil for hair care. It was widely used oil to make one's hair looks healthy and shiny. Perhaps it was the vitamin E content of coconut oil that gives the health benefits for the hair. Perhaps the Lauric Acid (a medium chain fatty acid) content, a very stable triglyceride, that makes the shine lasts quite long. Wan Izzuddin

Since coconut oil is moisturizing, antimicrobial (a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms) antifungal and anti-inflammatory, it's a great natural remedy for a number of skin problems including acne, eczema and diaper rash! One of the best natural products you can use on your skin to help healing and restoring skin is coconut oil. Also makes an excellent massage oil.

Yes.

You shouldn't use other products as lubricants. This can infect the female with bacteria. You should always use products intended for lubrication or saliva.

re: coconut oil has all kinds of antimicrobial factors so it would actually help with any bacteria. it is a great lubricant accept for with condoms as oils deteriorate latex

Jabakusum is hibiscus. The commercial oil contains hibiscus extract in a blend of vegetable, mineral and coconut oil.

It stimulates the roots of your hair which is good fo dem waves

Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.

Yes it can. The pure oil from the coconut produces vitimins that make facial hair grow much quicker.

By rubbing coconut or olive oil on the eczama.

Crude oil lol. Hydrogenated fats are the worst, they've been banned in the UK. After that it's animal fat (saturated fat) then vegetable oil. Best is extra virgin olive oil (I think) but it's quite expensive.

A Brazilian bikini wax is where a sticky substance somewhat like glue, is applied to the "bikini zone" of a woman's body. Then some "removal tool", usually a flat wood piece or some type of synthetic blanket is used to rip off the wax/glue. Any hair that is sticking to the wax substance is removed along with it. In short, this is like ripping the hair out of one's head or picking out eyebrows. It is always very painful although the hairier the woman is, the more painful it will be.

No you do not need to refrigerate coconut oil. If you put coconut oil in the fridge it will become very hard.
