Coconut Oil as a Diet Aid

Coconut Oil is a MCT type of fat. MCT (medium chain triglyceride) is a type of good fat/oil that can bypass the pancreas and insulin enzyme process, be transported easily through the liver and gall bladder, and used quickly and efficiently by the cells as a nutrient. While the body needs and requires many types of good fats (short chain, medium chain, long chain and essential fatty acids), many other fats/oils simply do not have all the unique properties Coconut Oil does.

Coconut Oil is not a Trans Fat

Columbia University just completed another study on fats and dieting. Their findings document that dieters using Coconut Oil burned twice as many calories, and seven times more belly fat than other people did. (Source: www.columbia.edu/, and Woman's World, Feb 16, 2009 issue)

Coconut Oil IS NOT a trans fat. Trans fats come from oils that have been hydrogenated (hydrogen added to an oil at very high heat, to keep the product solid at room temp, and hard to digest). While Coconut Oil is usually a solid at room temp, Coconut Oil is not solid in the body. This is because Coconut Oil begins to melt at 76 degrees and body temp is usually 98.6 degrees.
