Coconut Oil

Hi Folks,

Permit to reply to my own post. I have found this article by
Mary Enig, PhD, and Sally Fallon to be very enlightening. Is
there much truth in it?

Thanks!

of it, but say, a tablespoon or so? Would this bring more
benefits than drawbacks? I see some controversy on this
very saturated fatty oil in particular and would like to
see if anyone here can bring all the latest research and
evidence together and help me along . . . thanks. 🙂

coconut oil has MCTs, which are supposedly good. i think it
is safe personally. people who drink a lot of it supposedly
have fast metabolisms and are in good health

If you really need a little in a special dish, otherwise
forget it. No benefit except energy (calories)

Mary Enig is a bit of a flake IIRC.

Weston Price is a bit of a worry too. Keep your hands on
your wallet 🙂

What are MCTs

Microsoft Certified Trainers?

Ministries of Commerse and Technology?

And what's a "fast metabolism"? How's the thyroid?

Why is a Medium Chain Triglyceride good for you? What does
it do, and what would a lack thereof cause?

So why did ye not say so?

Where is it shown that these cannot be made adequately
by a human?

Brief overview of MCTs:

``Though MCT's are being promoted in the supplement
marketplace for weight loss and to increase athletic
performance, numerous studies have shown that MCT's are
ineffective for achieving these goals. On the other hand,
MCT does appear to be helpful for nutritional support in a
number of conditions, including enteral and total parenteral
nutrition in some infants and surgical patients, as well as
in some of those who are critically ill with
immunosuppression, pulmonary disease, liver disease,
neurologic injury and various malabsorption syndromes. MCT
may also be useful in some with epilepsy and other disorders
characterized by seizures. There is preliminary evidence
that MCT may be helpful in some cancers and may have some
positive effects on immunity.''
