Hello, I have recently discovered unrefined Coconut Oil as a wonderful, aromatic skin moisterizer. But, I've heard mixed reports on the benfits from consumption. One report says using it to cook keeps your skin young and promotes a healthy metabolism. Other reports say it's an unhealthy fat. Anyone have any knowledge about the benfits of cooking with it? Thanks, Gala

Bottom Line Daily Health News

Delicious Oils to Lower Cholesterol and Boost Immunity

Barbara Levine, RD, PhD

Weill Medical College of Cornell University

e know that olive oil is good for us. In November, 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even allowed olive oil producers to state on their labels that "two tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." But some oils are just as good, offering the same or other health benefits. Here's what other oils can do for you -- all are available in larger supermarkets.

Cooking Oils

Grapeseed oil. When you deep-fry, use grapeseed oil, which can be heated to 485°F. Foods fried at high temperatures are crispier and absorb less grease. Like olive oil, grapeseed oil contains phytosterols, which lower bad cholesterol without lowering good cholesterol. The light, mild taste makes grapeseed oil a natural choice in any recipe that calls for "vegetable" oil.

Peanut oil. Peanut oil contains the plant chemical resveratrol -- the substance in red wine that has been linked to a reduction in cardiovascular disease and cancer. Peanut oil also is rich in folic acid, which helps prevent colon cancer and reduces the risk of certain birth defects. With a neutral flavor and a high smoke point of 450°F, peanut oil is suitable for all methods of cooking and frying.

Salad Oils

Flaxseed oil. Flaxseed is the richest plant source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. In particular, it is high in alpha-linolenic acid, from which the body manufactures docasahexaenoic acid, a building block of brain, retina and heart tissue. Recent research links omega-3 deficiency to a wide range of health problems, including depression, poor memory, eczema, allergies and arthritis.

You have probably seen flaxseed oil sold as a dietary supplement, but look for the edible table oil (which should not be heated). Some people enjoy the nutty taste -- similar to hazelnuts -- and use flaxseed oil to replace butter on corn on the cob or steamed vegetables. Others find the flavor too sharp on its own and prefer to combine it with applesauce, yogurt or peanut butter. You also can grind up whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder and sprinkle them on yogurt or hot or cold cereal.

Sesame oil. A study by the American Heart Association found that hypertensive patients who used sesame oil as their only cooking oil -- while taking a calcium channel blocker to treat their condition -- had lower blood pressure and were able to take significantly less medication after 60 days than patients who took the calcium channel blocker alone.

Sesame oil contains phytoestrogens called lignans, which protect the heart and inhibit cancer growth.

It also is an excellent source of magnesium, an important mineral in which 80% of the American population is deficient. Magnesium is needed for healthy cell function and can ease the symptoms of Crohn's disease and diabetes. Another substance in sesame oil, syrigic acid, is under review for its role in helping skin cells combat ultraviolet damage.

Sesame oil is less delicate than most seed oils and can be used for stir-frying, but heating lessens its distinctive aroma. The best way to enjoy its flavor is to drizzle a few drops on stir-fries or soups before serving. You get the same benefits by eating tahini (sesame paste), an ingredient in hummus.

Walnut oil. This oil is high in ellagic acid, an antioxidant that inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It also contains saponins, phytochemicals that boost the immune system. The US FDA has said that eating an ounce and a half of walnuts a day can decrease risk of heart disease by lowering levels of triglycerides, the blood fats associated with cardiovascular disease. Walnut oil also is a great source of the antioxidant vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids.

Because it has a relatively low smoke point, walnut oil should not be used for frying.

Try using it in salad dressing, or drizzle it on hot chicken or fish dishes just before serving. You also can substitute walnut oil for some of the butter or shortening when baking.

Use in Moderation

Vegetable oil. Most plant oils -- including the soy, corn, sunflower and/or safflower oil that usually is blended as "vegetable oil" -- contain mostly omega-6s, which are essential to a healthy diet but easily supplied. The ideal ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s is about 4:1, while the average American diet approaches 25:1 -- meaning that most people need to consume more omega-3s and fewer omega-6s.

Canola oil. Also known as rapeseed oil, canola oil is an economical choice for recipes that call for large quantities of oil, but it does not confer any notable health benefits.

Fats to Avoid

Trans fats. These are prevalent in packaged baked goods and fast food. They are found in margarine, shortening and any vegetable oil labeled "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated." Trans fats have been shown to lower HDL ("good") cholesterol, raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol and harden arteries. They also may contribute to type 2 diabetes.

Saturated fats. These are found in animal sources such as butter, lard and fatty meats, as well as in some plant sources, including coconut oil, cottonseed oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil. They raise both good and bad cholesterol, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease.

Jeanne,

 

When you get back if you would send me the info, I so much appreciate this, I will read up on it while you are gone. Going to the library tomorrow and see if they have the book, if they don't I will be off to the used book store.

Have a good trip.

My understanding is that both types of coconut oil are good. It is mainly a preference. I usually use the fermented kind as I like the feel of it better on my skin. The other type seems to have less of a flavor to me and feels a bit heaver on the skin to me. I have found the fermented to be a little less spendy too.

 

I not only use the coconut oil for eating but also as my main skin care. I use it as my day and night cream for my face, in place of lotion, on my feet which tend to be very dry, and anywhere that one would need extra moisture.

 

I also will put a bit into my mouth just before bed as I have a very dry mouth. (This is from poor working salivary glands caused by radiation cancer treatment) This keeps my mouth fairly moist for the night. Not to sound gross, but it work great to put a bit in your nostril when you have a painful dry nose from a cold or dry air.

 

I get my coconut oil from "Wilderness Family Naturals". It is the only place I know of who sells high quality CO in our area (MN).

 

One thing I find so interesting is that I am allergic to coconut that I have gotten in the store, yet I can use this CO with no problem. I have been told it is the processing that can cause the allergic reaction.

 

My mother has started to use CO on her skin just before going swimming at the YMCA. She has found this repels the chlorine from her skin.

Greetings, I live in Asia and have read and re-read all the hype etc on Coconut Oils.I have used both types extensively and have found many of the claims to be truth and some to be pretty much bogus! After careful testing, I find little if any difference in qualities between the processes.I can tell you that virtually ALL coconut trees produce "organic" coconuts so dont buy into that one. The reason the Phillippine product uses the fermentation hype is because they use low tech villiage techniques and want to capitalize on it. Most Asians do the process the same way with some steaming the grated Coconut to get more oil out due to the difficulty of getting it to seperate from the hard meat.. I have never ever seen any type of solvent used to seperate the oil. You must understand that Asians utilize Coconut oil daily, it's a staple here as Canola and other oil is in the West. The rediculous prices paid for this oil in the West are totally out of

line! A cold pressed quart of oil on a high priced shelf here ( just saw it yesterday) is 80 cents! I realize the shipping and handeling make up a certain amount of cost but the oil shouldnt even approach what Dr Mercola and others are charging for this stuff! Other than taste, I think both products are basically the same. I am currently testing the claims of lowering high cholesterol and so far, find them bogus in everyone thats taking the tests. We will see after six months and then one year, whether this is true or not? It's just so hard to sort the truth from the commercialism and lies. This list is one of the few I trust and even then I have to sort through some of the items with disbelief. Don in Balimamaterri47 <maddress wrote: This is a question for the people who

Hi all

 

In Malaysia virgin coconut oil is sold in small as supplement 120ml

bottles and it is priced at a minimum of RM35 which is about

US$10.00......sigh. Virgin cocnut oil is touted to have all sorts of

healing properties.

 

Are we being ripped off?

I hate to ask these stupid questions but here goes:

 

You said scrub the coconuts, do you mean the coconut outside hard brown

shell? If so, then do I drain the water inside first?

 

Or do you mean the cocunt bits and pieces? Should I peel the brown

stuff off?

 

Thank you,

Leslie

Hi Kel and all, Coconut oil is one of the things my cousin Rick used in correcting his fibromyalgia. So those of you with lupus should seriously consider it. I invited Rick to come here to our site during the time you were off for awhile. He did come, but then disappeared again. I'll have to email him and ask him to come back and explain how he used the cocnut oil.Blessings, Renee"Kelly W." <kellykebby wrote: Coconut: In Support of Good Health in the 21st Century by Mary G.

Lauric acid, the major fatty acid from the fat of the coconut, has long beenrecognized for the unique properties that it lends to nonfood uses in the soapsand cosmetics industry. More recently, lauric acid has been recognized for itsunique properties in food use, which are related to its antiviral,antibacterial, and antiprotozoal functions. Now, capric acid, another of coconut's fatty acids has been added to the listof coconut's antimicrobial components. These fatty acids are found in thelargest amounts only in traditional lauric fats, especially from coconut. Also,recently published research has shown that natural coconut fat in the diet leadsto a normalization of body lipids, protects against alcohol damage to the liver,and

improves the immune system's anti-inflammatory response. Some of the viruses inactivated by these lipids are HIVmeaslesherpes simplex (HSV-1)vesicular stomatitis virusvisna viruscytomegalovirus (CMV) Coconut oil is good for the heart and also helps in combating obesity. It canhelp in fighting diabetes, chronic fatigue and many immune system disorders.Being composed of saturated fatty acids, coconut oil is far safer than oilscomposed of trans fatty acids. In a test coconut oil performed better then oliveoil, corn oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil as a cooking medium. --\-------------- Another good analysis can be found here: http://members.efn.org/~raypeat/coconut.rtf Raymond Peat, Ph.D. Brief Summary. Coconut

oil is an effective antioxidant, both in direct and indirect manners.Food cooked in this medium does not spoil easily. The oil has anti-agingproperties and helps fight menopausal difficulties in women. It has a goodeffect on brain development as well as there is a salutory effect on the thyroidgland. Switching over from oils containing trans fatty acids to coconut oil hasmany benefits as one can avoid the dangers of trans fatty acids as well as enjoythe benefits of coconut oil. Various fractions of coconut oil are coming into use as "drugs," meaning thatthey are advertised as treatments for diseases. Butyric acid is used to treatcancer, lauric and myristic acids to treat virus infections, and mixtures ofmedium-chain fats are sold for weight loss. Purification undoubtedly increasescertain effects, and results in profitable products, but in the absence of moreprecise knowledge, I think the whole natural product,

used as a regular food, isthe best way to protect health. ---------------------------- "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquestof life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.

Hi Renee,

 

I grew up using coconut oil as cooking oil ( deep

frying stuff ), but you also could get coconut oil at

the health store as they called Virgin coconut oil in

liquid form or soft capsule, I take soft capsule

instead,but I didn't really pay attention what the

result of taking it, it's been only couple of months,

I will see if any significant result after a while.

besides, I also drink mangosteen juice.

 

take care & happy mothers day,

 

Jozefina.

Hi Jozephina, My cousin used something else with the coconut oil to correct his fibromyalgia, but my chemo brain can't remember what it is right now! It is posted here in the archives somewhere! Did the info that Dan gave you about finding the products for the collagen help? Did you find it, with shipping to Canada? I found the 800 phone number but the extension is no longer on my cell phone voice mail. I have it saved here somewhere in my emails, but it will take me forever to find it (chemo brain again!) Dan won't steer you wrong, so I'm confident that he has given you the info that you need to get the products that you need. In fact, I'm going to check out the new source he recommended for you too! I just wanted to let you know I didn't forget you. I ended having to work Tuesday (my day off!) so I didn't get back on the comp til today.Blessings, Reneejozefina

*** i have been reading that you can bathe with coconut oil. just a suggestion, not so sure how I feel about it, but the book I am reading is pretty impressive. :)Stuck ***

 

Coconut oil is excellent, it also is good for detoxing the body. I always use it in my lunar soaks. I also use it when I am doing a cleanse. It helps get rid of the white fat our bodies want to hang onto. You can put it onto your toast or just eat it plain, it's a solid fat and very good for you. Also, you can add organic chocolate nibs and coconut for a yummy treat. Love.

ALli hates the taste how do i get it doown her? She fellin the long islnd sound yesterday and now is very stuffy and has a bad cough. (she did before hand too, you trytelling a 4 year old to only put your feet in with no bathing suit on LOL) I am giving her a honey cough medicine that seems to help the cough. but still trying to figure out the congestion. will have lavender oil in the humidifier tonight. Thanks for a great list. Sorry for posting so much.

Micki...

Here is an excellent fudge recipe. I make it often and this is the

best there is!

blessings..

spot

 

Here's the original recipe:

 

COCONUT OIL FUDGE

1 1/2 cups coconut oil

1 1/2 cups honey

1 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, tastes fine without it)

 

Dump it all in the blender and mix till smooth. Pour it into a pan

(I use a 9x13 glass pan) and let it set up. Depending on your

climate and time of year you may need to refrigerate it if it's over

70 degrees or so in your kitchen. Cut into small pieces and try not

to eat it all the first day.

ENJOY!

Somewhere I read that when they started pushing other oils - especially

Canola oil- they badmouthed coconut oil so much that people just didn't use

it after that - but it proves to be one of the healthiest oils on the market

and is also one of the only oils that doesn't change at high temperatures -

google coconut oil - you will find heaps of positive info

Coconut oil

 

 

Hello,

I have been taking a tab of coconut oil every day. I have read that it

is healthy and helps protect you from alot of things. My aunt had a

heart attack and her doctor told her to NEVER eat or cook with coconut

oil. It WILL give you a heart attack. They said just a small amount

everyday will be enough to make your heart sick. What do all of you

think??

[Guest guest]

It is known that coconut oil has food-based

cholesterol more than any other oil or butter/ghee do.

But:

1. Coconut oil has many advantages.

2. The doctor needs to update his knowledge on

cholesterol as such--especially on the relation

between cholesterol and heart.

Cholesterol is not found in plants. Maybe you were thinking of

phytosterols, Ratan. Hops cones are among the top sources of

phytosterols.

I want to thank Bonnie for catching the mistake literally over my

shoulder and pointing out that choesterol does occur in plant lipids

albeit in trace amounts; this is almost unknown.

 

Here's a page on it with a few references for further reading.

http://bip.cnrs-mrs.fr/bip10/choles.htm

 

" [average is] ...50 mg cholesterol per kg of total lipids in plants,

and is much lower than this average in certain oils. For example olive

oil typically contains 0.5–2 mg cholesterol per kg and sesame oil

about 1 mg cholesterol per kg. "

 

If you were to eat four tablespoons of coconut oil, 60 grams, you'd

get about 4 mg cholesterol.

Thanks for that summary. They are finally coming to their senses!

This was on another group this morning-a nice summary of the benefits of coconut oil...

 

cyndi

 

 

[Guest guest]

Could you share that site, I have just started using

coconut oil and looking for all information available

[Guest guest]

Hi Deborah;

 

There wasn't a site listed with this info, just what I copied here.

But if you haven't gotten these books already, I'd highly recommend

Eat Fat, Lose Fat-there are two books by the same authors, and they

both talk about using coconut oil. One of the books specifically

talks about the coconut oil diet. Mary Enig and Sally Fallon are the

authors.

 

Plus I know there's at least one out there that

specifically talks about the coconut oil diet.

 

Good luck!

Cyndi
