Big news
Up until I read that book I was absolutely ignorant about the coconat oil health benefits (fighting infections, improving nutrition, etc) The author lists scientific studies to back up his claims. Coconat oil is shown as a natural, centuries tried and tested aid to health, beauty and longevity. I suggest getting this book together with Can we live 150 Year - a great volume on natural health, weight loss, and longevity issues.

Though-provoking, in-depth coverage
This book was a revelation. For those who think all saturated fats are equal, think again. The properties of coconut oil truly are amazing. Even if only half of it were put into practice, the burden on the health service would be considerably reduced. Why are large pharmaceutical companies allowed to stand in the way of cheap solutions? Think of the taxes that could be saved, as well as the improvements to health that would be gained.

The Coconut Oil Miracle by Dr. Bruce Fife
I had been led to believe that saturated fats are harmful to the physiology, yet also that coconut oil is one of the saturated fats which are safe to use at high temperatures = oils change chemically at high temperatures.

So, I was intrigued about the Miracle of Coconut Oil.............and, what I found was truly amazing. This wonderful oil had been withheld from us.....for commercial reason, as is explained by Dr Fife who went into thorough research and also set up the Coconut Research Center. Most saturated fats , which includes oils , are long chain fatty acids. Now, coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid = and therein lies it's difference.

So, what I found was truly amazing, and I find we owe Dr Fife huge gratitude that he has brought to our attention this wonderful health-benefitting fat, once again = after it having been side-lined for a while.

He explains everything he found, research - and this research confirmed scientifically - and what benefits can be derived from it.

One fantastic piece of information = total 'must read and implement' = as is his other book on Oil Pulling.

I have implemented both, and recommend both to whoever will listen.

Thanks you Dr. Fife :)
