Article 1

Coconut oil is an edible oil that has been consumed in tropical places for thousands of years. Studies done on native diets high in coconut consumption show that these populations are generally in good health, and have been seemingly immune to many of the modern diseases of western nations. The fact is until our western diet was introduced into these nations diseases like cancer, hypertension, arterial sclerosis and many others were almost totally unheard of.

Coconut oil was once very popular in western countries like the United States as well. With a shelf life of up to 5 years at room temperature and a melting point of 76 degrees, it was a widely used in the baking industry. But an errant campaign against saturated fats in general, and the tropical oils in particular launched by the commercial food industry, led to most food manufacturers abandoning coconut oil in recent years in favor of hydrogenated polyunsaturated oils that come from the main cash crops in the US, particularly soy, and contain trans fatty acids. These polyunsaturated oils were not a big part of the diet of previous generations, all one need do look and see how the health of Americans changed now that polyunsaturated oils are all that occupy store shelved across the US? We encourage you to take an honest look at the research presented on this website, and consider the "other side" of the story, whether it be coconut oil, saturated fats, or the new vegetable oils!
