Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Hi Tim- Picked up your message, so am including some sources for your answer that would be more in depth than my own: Check out the webpage www.sunfood.net/coconut-butter.html,which has an article by David Wolfe on it; also NFL carries a book by Bruce Fife entitled " Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil " . Wolfe also speaks about it in an interview of " Just Eat An Apple Issue #16, if you have one around, but basically reprises the sunfood.net article. Just a few things I personally use it for are: Improving digestion, quick energy, aiding absorption of calcium, magnesium, & fat soluble vitamins, suppoting thyroid function (I quit taking thyroid meds months ago after many years of being diagnosed as hypothyroid), support & aid to the immune system, improved skin texture- also since using externally on the skin after my shower & scrub with an ayate cloth, I have noticed a definite improvement in skin suppleness & feel. It is not ground up coconut meat, but the oil itself is separated out- NFL's is from Fiji & processed at very low temp's in a traditional way which preserves the goodness, & tastes delicious; I do also use Omega Nutrition's raw one as well, but only as a skin oil. It is solid below 78 degrees, which is why some refer to it as butter, and is a saturated fat with no cholesterol. I add some each morning to my big breakfast smoothie (about 2 TBSP) after I warm it slighty in a bowl of water to liquefy, then pour it in the Vitamix with the other stuff. Hope this info helps you a bit. Gideon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Gideon Somehow I missed the first round of who wants some coconut butter, I saw some of the replies so I got the jist of it. I'd like two of them if they are not all spoken for.
