Virgin Coconut Oil and
A Healthy Thyroid
I
started on the Virgin Coconut Oil and suddenly had energy like the Energizer
Bunny! I also gave up the white toxins (wheat flour, refined sugar,
potatoes, and other high-glycemic index foods) and that, in combination with
my Virgin Coconut Oil consumption has made a tremendous difference in my
hormonal balance, mood stability, stamina and overall energy. And, I'm
slowly but steadily losing a little bit of weight. Ya gotta love that!

I
tried some of your coconut oil from a friend and it has changed my life! I
was so exhausted every day.... I didn't think that the coconut oil would
really work. After one month of eating 2 tbs. of coconut oil, I have energy
to spare. I am deeply grateful to your wonderful product for literally
giving me a new life.

Virgin Coconut Oil is composed of primarily medium chain fatty acids, unlike
many other vegetable oils that are composed of long chain fatty acids.
Longer chain fatty acids tend to oxidize quickly and become rancid. For this
reason, food manufacturers have hydrogenated these types of oils for years
to make them more shelf-stable. But the process of hydrogenating vegetable
oils has produced trans fatty acids, which are not readily found
within nature, and have now been determined as a danger to our health. The
FDA started requiring food manufacturers to list trans fatty acids
in their labels in January of 2006. People concerned about thyroid health
should avoid trans fatty acids.
The medium chain fatty acids found in Virgin Coconut Oil, on the other hand,
are very stable and not prone to oxidation. Virgin Coconut Oil does not
contain trans fatty acids. The medium chain fatty acids found in
Virgin Coconut Oil support a healthy immune system, and a healthy thyroid and
hormone balance. Coconut Oil increases the body's metabolism, resulting in
increased energy levels. Supported by a healthy diet and proper exercise, it
can also lead to weight loss. The medium chain fatty acids found in Virgin
Coconut Oil also promote normal digestion assisting in the absorption of
other nutrients, which leads to overall health and a healthy thyroid.
