COCONUT OIL, THE HEALTHY RAW FAT HERO Science of Coconut Oil "Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional beneficial function of being formed into monolaurin in the human or animal body. Monolaurin is the antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal mono-glyceride used by the human or animal to destroy lipid coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia. Some studies have also shown some antimicrobial effects of the free lauric acid." - Mary Enig, PhD Raw fats do not raise cholesterol. Raw coconut oil can help lower and maintain healthy cholesterol ratios. Fats that are hydrogenated, when consumed regularly, will likely raise cholesterol. PROVEN BENEFITS OF EXTRA VIRGIN, RAW COCONUT OIL The New Lower Calorie Healthy Fat, extra virgin, organic, raw coconut oil is not only a delicious healthy fat, but also great for the immune system.
