Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil by Evergreen Botanicals
Extra
virgin
coconut oil has been shown to support and stimulate
thyroid function (as opposed to soybean oil which
suppresses thyroid function). Finally, after years of cover-up
by the commercial food industry, the evidence is coming to
the forefront how polyunsaturated oils actually contribute
to high cholesterol, arterial build-up, free-radical damage,
and many other health problems. Soybean oil in particular
slows down metabolism and leads to weight gain. All polyunsaturates
oxidize (go rancid) quickly and cause free radical damage
that accelerates aging.
On the contrary, extra virgin coconut oil is very
stable (it will not go rancid even when kept at room
temperature for a year). The lauric acid it contains has been
shown to have numerous health benefits, most important of
which is its thyroid stimulating properties. Please see below
the books from Amazon.ca which detail the positive results
people have achieved by incorporating coconut oil into their
diets.
Extra virgin coconut oil has been shown to be much more effective
than regular, non-virgin coconut oil. Extra virgin coconut
oil can be produced by 3 different methods.
The best way is the "wet-milled" method.
In this method, the meat of fresh, green coconuts is removed
and within 2 hours is pureed into a slurry, then put into
a centrifuge by which the oil is spun out (a bit like a cream
separator). There is no heat at any stage. The oil has a tremendously
fresh coconut smell and taste. All enzymes are preserved.
Our extra virgin coconut oil is produced using the
"wet-milled" method.
The majority of virgin coconut oils are produced by heat drying
the fresh meat of green coconuts, then cold pressing the dried
meat. The drying temperatures vary from 40-80 degrees celsius
depending on the manufacturer. Heat drying the coconut before
pressing gives an inferior oil with less enzymes.
The third method, which is the way coconut oil was made for
centuries, is by fermentation. Care must be taken that the
end product does not taste fermented and that the moisture
content is low enough to ensure long shelf life.
Extra virgin coconut oil is a highly recommended part of a
thyroid stimulating program. For more thyroid remedies, please
see our thyroid
page.
Another important benefit of extra virgin coconut oil is its
ability to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good
cholesterol (HDL). So rather than contributing to
heart disease and arterial build up, virgin coconut oil aids
coronary health.
Coconut oil also has wonderful external uses as an anti-oxidant
skin moisturizer that quickly absorbs into the skin.
It helps protect from sun exposure and has
been proven effective for a host of skin problems including
eczema, psoriasis, acne,
dry skin, aging skin, cradle
cap and other yeast/fungal infections.
It is also an excellent hair and scalp conditioner.
