I can understand why some don't like coconut oil straight from the container. We're all different and have our own food preferences. My own sister gets a gag reflex when swallowing the oil but won't share a morsel of her coconut-prepared meal with anyone else, not even with her beloved pekingese toy dogs. Don't let the straightaway approach to benefiting from coconut oil (CNO) stop you. The tropical world has countless mouth-watering coconut concoctions to offer you. Coconut Milk to the Rescue
Coco milk enables you to easily incorporate coconut oil into your diet. It makes an ideal substitute for dairy. Just like dairy milk, it isn't sweet so it's perfect for chowders, curries, soups and of course my favorite, desserts. Wait a minute, sweets? Bad news for diabetics. Not with coconut oil, it isn't! Good News for DiabeticsA low-fat diet is normally advised for diabetics. Although coconut oil is a saturated fat, it's unique because the fats are predominantly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), unlike most other dietary oils and fats. You see, MCFAs are able to feed your cells without the need for insulin. Aha! MCFAs plentifully found in coconut oil are safe for someone who has diabetes. They also assist in improving insulin secretion and sensitivity, and glucose intolerance. What an amazing food! |
