Coconut Oil - Revised

Does a low fat diet really help improve your health?  Does eating saturated fat cause heart disease? Depriving your body of essential fats increases cravings of other foods, such as refined carbohydrates, that lead to weight gain. One of those naturally occurring healthy fats that have been demonized by the medical establishment is coconut oil.

Now, all saturated fats are not the same. There is a big difference between naturally occurring saturated fats in coconut oil, avocados and olive oil, and artificially manipulated, man-made fats found in junk food and cooking oils. These are called hydrogenated oils, and are terrible for you. These “trans fats”, as they are called, should be avoided for your good health.

Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of medium chain triglycerides (MCT’s), not counting breast milk. Virgin coconut oil is very stable, and does not oxidize or break down quickly. It has a shelf life of more than 2 years.

B-Scam

I have written on this topic before, but I believe it needs to be revisited, especially here in October. As you are bombarded by pink this and pink that the entire month of October every year, I think you should be aware of the facts of the origins of “pink.”

These days, if you dare question any of this pink stuff, you are treated like some kind of woman hating monster. Nothing could be further from the truth. By exposing the myth and methods of pink, women’s lives and body parts are likely to be saved, not cheapened for drug company profits.

As you know, it all starts here in October with “Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” or as Dr. Douglass puts it “Bscam.” It was not started by scientists hunting for the cause and cure of breast cancer. It was started by a drug company.
