The Coconut Oil Miracle by Dr Bruce Fife

Once mistakenly thought to be bad because of its saturated fat content, coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually helps prevent heart disease, stroke, and hardening of the arteries. The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.

These fats, derived from coconut oil, are now routinely used in hospital IV formulations and commercial baby formulas.  They’re also used in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance.

Some of the benefits of coconut oil:

• Reduces risk of atherosclerosis and related illnesses

• Reduces risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions

• Helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal (including yeast) infections

• Supports immune system function
