Centrifuged-Coconut-Oil--32-ounce

For those seeking a truly healthful oil for cooking and table use - with no hydrogenation, no trans fats, no additives of any kind. An oil that is good for you! This coconut oil is first expeller pressed, then chilled to make the oil "pull out of solution." It is never heated to more than 78.8 degrees F. It is creamy and smooth when in its semi-solid state and completely clear in liquid form. Those who eat coconut oil raw recognize this one as the best tasting of any available. This oil has a 57% lauric acid content! This is the medium chain fat well studied in medical research. It is anti-microbial, anti-viral, and anti-parasitical. It contains virtually no polyunsaturated fats. Coconut oil contains no saturated fat and no hydrogenated fat. Populations using large amounts of coconut oil show no evidence of an increase in heart disease or any unfavorable cholesterol balance. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT's) are commonly used in special nutrition formulas created for hospitalized patients. MCT's are easily digested and metabolized and can be used even when people have compromised digestive systems. Because the MCT's are readily absorbed and converted to energy, this oil supports thermogenesis levels and is ideal for people on low carbohydrate diets. Thus, coconut oil contributes to weight loss in many individuals. This oil retains a very slight coconut flavor and aroma and is ideal for all cooking and baking. It is stable when heated and can be used for pan and deep fat frying. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
