Coconut oil is the healthiest oil on earth. It is easily metabolized by the body, helps boost metabolism, stimulates the thyroid, and promotes weight loss.  We recommend Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil because it is made from organic coconuts and is processed to retain the nutrients---plus it tastes great!

The kind of oil you use for cooking and consumption plays a major role in your health. Research shows that polyunsaturated oils (vegetable oils) quickly turn rancid and cause oxidative stress. For those with compromised immunes systems, such as those fighting cancer, coconut oil can help a great deal in strengthening the body's immune system. Coconut oil has a unique fatty acid structure, (medium chain fatty acids-MCTs) that attacks bacteria, viruses, and funguses. These MCTs are also known to boost metabolism, stimulate the thyroid, and help with weight loss.

Virgin coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, a proven antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal agent that is very beneficial in attacking viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, and that builds the body's immune system.  It is highly effective in fighting Candida yeast.

Coconut oil should be your main cooking oil because it is the least likely to oxidize. The Coconut Diet book has more than 70 recipes that use coconut oil in wonderfully creative ways.  It can also be added to any of the smoothie recipes in the Ultimate Smoothie Book.
