Nature's Way Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 16 Ounce (Value Pack of 3) [Item #57513] for $39.99
Pure Virgin Coconut Oil (32 FL OZ) for $24.45
Product Description
The truth about coconut oil is obvious to anyone who has studied the health of those who live in traditional tropical cultures, where coconut has been a nutritious diet staple for thousands of years.
Back in the 1930's, a dentist named Dr. Weston Price traveled throughout the South Pacific, examining traditional diets and their effect on dental and overall health. He found that those eating diets high in coconut products were healthy and trim, despite the high fat concentration in their diet.
Similarly, in 1981, researchers studied populations of two Polynesian atolls. Coconut was the chief source of caloric energy in both groups. The results, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, demonstrated that both populations exhibited positive vascular health. There was no evidence that the high saturated fat intake had a harmful effect in these populations.
By the end of the 1950's, public opinion had turned totally against saturated fats like butter (and coconut oil). Saturated fats were blamed for raising cholesterol, and cholesterol was now viewed as the evil enemy, the culprit responsible for the steep rise in heart disease.
Butter, eggs and coconut oil were out.
The new vegetable oils were in... and erroneously touted as "heart-healthy."
Coconut oil continued to be demonized by the vegetable oil industry throughout the ensuing decades. Adding insult to injury, the soybean industry began to condemn the use of tropical oils, particularly coconut oil.
And I'm sure you realize the reason why -- competition... and millions and millions of dollars.
Unfortunately, the tropical oil industry, centered in poorer nations like the Philippines and Indonesia, could not afford to counter the negative propaganda spread by rich American industrial conglomerates.
Science and good health took a back seat to profits, as they have on more than one occasion...

17 of 18 people found the following review helpful By Coconut oil is an excellent substitute for butter when pan frying or sauteing. I've replaced butter in recipes with great success as well. This product has great flavor, but does not overpower as one would expect. If you need to lower your cholesterol, this is the way to go!! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful By Vanessa Irvin Morris (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This is great coconut oil. I now use this oil exclusively for all of my cooking needs. It has a nice mild flavor that enhances everything I cook. I am very happy with this product and will continue to purchase it. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Garden of Life - Living Foods -Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - 16oz Oil (Misc.) This coconut oil absorbs into the body without leaving a "layer" like I experience after eating butter with my bread. I feel good after I eat it. My boys and I eat it straight from the spoon. I use it as a butter replacement. It has only a slight coconut flavor. My friend who reccommended it to me gargles with it because it is "anti" bacterial, viral and yeast. |

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful This review is from: Palmers Olive Oil Formula Hair & Scalp Conditioner Spray 5.1 oz. (Health and Beauty) I have been using this product for about two years now and it works great. I just spray about 3 or 4 times over my whole head every two days and it protects against frizz and also makes your hair look shiny and healthy. My hair is normally frizzy no matter what I use, but this product does work for that one reason. It is great.Even when my hair hasnt been washed for a little longer then it needs to be, just a couple sprays and this product does the trick! I have 3c hair and it is at the middle of my back, super thick, so normally it is aggravating and extremely time consuming when styling. I would def recommend this product to someone with my hair type. Of course, everything is not for everyone. One con is, if you spray too much it weighs down your hair and makes it look really thin and just nasty looking. That is why I just use this product every other day. Other than that, LOVE it! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful By Hope "Hope" (USA, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) It says to use this product on dry hair but I use this on my hair when its wet.This product does contain a form of silicone which there is a debate on weather thats not good for hair but it is the main reason your hair feels smooth after you use this. Also it has a really good scent to it and i guess its nice that you can use it dry or wet like i do and it dosent feel greasy or anything like that. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful By |
