The benefits of extra virgin coconut oil have been shrouded in obscurity for way too long. Coconut oil is one of the most nutritious natural oils you can eat. Better for you than corn or peanut oils, the great benefits of this oil are now being rediscovered.
I say re-discovered because coconut oil used to be one of the most popular cooking oils in America more than 50 years ago, until negative research doomed it.
It should also be remembered that the negative research done on coconut oil in the past was the result of one study conducted four decades ago, using hydrogenated oil (which has been altered from its original form), not on virgin oil.
The knock on coconut oil was that it was high in saturated fats. But modern research has shown that we in fact need saturated fats because the medium chain fatty acids found in them are vital to cell metabolism.
Furthermore around 50% of these medium chain fatty acids(MCT’s)are made up of lauric acid, the most important essential fatty acid in building and maintaining the body’s immune system.
The only other source of lauric acid in concentration this high is in breast milk. No wonder breast-fed babies are less sickly and have such great constitutions.Research has also shown that breast-fed babies hold on to these strong immune gains into adulthood.
Lack these MCT's and your thyroid malfunctions. You have low metabolism and become susceptible to gaining weight, may be this is why coconut oil has been seen to help in weight loss and weight normalisation.

The good news is virgin coconut oil is not a trans-fat and is not hydrogenated, so it is safe for cooking.
You can use coconut oil for cooking, on salads, spread over toast, vegetables or added to protein drinks. It does not even have to be refrigerated. Room temp is fine. It has a shelf life of 1-2 years.
People have reported huge benefits from using virgin coconut oil ranging from antiseptic to anti-fungal and auto-immune benefits.
It is good as a moisturiser and if you want a great sheen in your hair, use virgin coconut oil on it.
