Coconut oil may be heart healthy
While there is no mistaking the wonderful benefits of coconut oil for the softening and healing dry and damaged skin,
there is some controversy over the heart health benefits of coconut oil. During the 1980s, the American Heart Association issued statements indicating that coconut oil's high saturated fat content was detrimental to cardiovascular health and promoted heart disease, and they still stand behind those claims today. Other researchers believe that coconut oil is different from other saturated fats because it is composed of medium-chain fatty acids. Wherever you stand on these claims, most people who are interested in healthy eating do not put oils such as coconut, avocado, or peanut oils that come from plant sources in the same catagory as saturated fats from animal sources.
Coconut oil works wonders for burns, cuts, bruises, and even speeds the healing of broken bones.
To get the best benefits of coconut oil, look for unrefined, virgin oils (Virgin Coconut Oil VCO) made from fresh coconuts that are the best cosmetic and food grade.
