The benefits of unrefined coconut oil are chiefly brought about by medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). MCFAs have supreme disease-fighting characteristics and CNO is nature's most abundant source of these health-giving nutrients.
The uses for CNO are so diverse because it has potent antibacterial and antiviral properties, not to mention antifungal, antiparasitic, etc. To give you a glimpse, it can kill a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses. Here's a short list:
Because it is 92% saturated, coconut oil is highly resistant to oxidation and free-radical destruction. Unlike other vegetable oils like soybean and safflower oils, high quality CNO can stay fresh for 2 years, easily, even in room temperature. It's kind of funny, actually borderline hilarious, when you consider foods cooked with any of the commonly used vegetable oils get rancid in just a few days even when refrigerated. If people would only think, they'd be a lot healthier. Don't you think? Reports of virgin coconut oil (VCO) staying fresh for as long as 5 years are fairly common here in the Philippines. VCO also has outstanding antioxidant properties that assist tremendously in keeping your skin and hair young-looking. Return from Benefits Of Coconut Oil to Coconut Oil Benefits Return to Home Page |
