Shocking Myths And Truths About Coconut Oil

Fact: Populations That Eat Coconut Oil Regularly Are Statistically Healthier

Populations that consume a high amount of coconut oil are proof of its amazing health effects. The Tokelauan in the South Pacific, for example, have a diet that is over sixty percent coconut and coconut products. Despite consuming what the Western world considers a dangerously high level of saturated fats, these tribes have almost no incidence of cardiovascular disease, a longer lifespan, and markedly lower risk of many of the world's most deadly diseases. Researchers believe that the coconut oil that makes up the majority of their fat intake acts to protect their heart, rather than harming it.
