Nutiva Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, a rare medium-chain fatty
acid found in mother’s milk that supports healthy metabolism and is now
being studied for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial
health-protecting properties. Overall, coconut oil contains 92%
saturated fats, and only 1% Omega-6, the fat Americans get way too much
of.
There is no comparison between Nutiva’s cold-pressed, Organic
extra-virgin coconut oil, with its light taste, pleasant aroma, and pure
white color, and industrialized coconut oil, with its bland taste,
faint aroma, and off-white color. Please note that any tiny brown specks
found at the bottom of Nutiva’s Coconut oil are from the coconut fiber
and are indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil.

Hydrogenated Trans Fat or Healing Coconut Oil?
The FDA started requiring the labeling of “trans fats” in 2006, and
as a result the entire fat category is undergoing a review of its
traditions and assumptions. Hemp and coconut oil products deliver the
nourishing “good fats, which can play a vital role in our health.
Millions of Americans are questioning the outmoded assumptions regarding
“zero fat is good”, “tropical fats are bad,” and “lots of vegetable
oils are beneficial”.
The traditional Pacific Islander diet included large quantities of
coconut meat and oil, and those who still follow this diet have a low
incidence of heart disease or weight issues. When a Western-style diet
including vegetable oils replaces their traditional diet, all of the
fat-related diseases common in the developed nations such as coronary
heart disease begin to appear, their immune systems get weaker and serum
cholesterol levels go up.
Besides its nutritional value, pure coconut oil also makes a luscious
and soothing massage and body oil for dry and or damaged skin.
