Pure unrefined coconut oil, direct from nature, has a whole host of benefits to aid you in your endeavors to achieve better health.

Coconut oil has been demonized in the news media for decades though because of its label as a saturated fat. Prevalent in the news has been the message to steer clear of all saturated fats in your daily diet. But in reality, this term needs to be differentiated from all-natural saturated fats and the man-made variety known as trans fats or hydrogenated fats.

Coconut, a medium chain fatty acid is absorbed entirely differently into the human body than the man-made factory processed saturated fats. This man-made low cost version is used extensively in the production and distribution of many “junk foods”, frozen dinners, breakfast foods and snack bars commonly found in any supermarket.

And yet pure virgin coconut oil (VCO) benefits are finally hitting the market shelves and disappearing in ever-growing quantities. This is because many people are finally realizing what the inhabitants of the tropics have known for a very long time.
