Many people think that the coconut, along with the milk, water, and oil, raises cholesterol, clogs the arteries, and will make them fat. That is far from the truth! Coconut oil does NOT have harmful effects on cholesterol or make you fat! The negative and misleading information, or "studies", were done using HYDROGENATED coconut oil, not unrefined, extra virgin coconut oil!
Raw, unrefined extra virgin coconut oil is ONE of the many "miracle" foods which God has given to us to nourish the body, prevent diseases, heal injuries, and overcome sicknesses. It enhances the absorption of minerals, fat soluble vitamins, and some amino acids, and also has an alkalizing effect on the body. As a matter of fact, coconut water is almost identical to human blood plasma!
The coconut contains medium chain fatty acids (MCF) which gives the coconut its nutritional and medicinal properties. The MCF's are easily digested, which make pancreatic enzymes and bile unnecessary for their digestion, and provides a quick and easy source of nutrition without taxing the enzymes of the body.
Some of the uses of Unrefined, Extra virgin Coconut oil are:
-Toenail and foot fungus
-Increased energy and metabolism
-ulcers

-fights free radicals
