Organic Certified Virgin Coconut Oil

Organic Certified  Virgin Coconut Oil  is produced from  newly  harvested coconuts
and brought  to the factory  within  48 hours.  The coconut is de-shelled, the brown
testa of  the  coconut  meat  is  removed,  then  granulated  into  fine  granules and
passed  through  a  continuous mechanical belt  drier to dry the coconut  meat at a
controlled  temperature.  After drying,  it is mechanically pressed or  cold -pressed
to extract the virgin coconut oil.  It then passes through a series of micro filters to
remove solid residues and packed.

Why should you use Virgin Coconut Oil?  Virgin Coconut oil  has both cost & health  
advantages over other  popular  vegetable oils, for example:

Coconut oil  does not  increase blood cholesterol levels  and thus  does not cause
heart disease:

There are two types of saturated fats - MFCA (Medium Chain Fatty Acids) and LCFA
(Long Chain Fatty Acids). The difference between the two types is that  MCFA does
not  raise  cholesterol while  LCFA  raises  cholesterol.   Coconut  oil  is  composed
mostly of MCFA, so it does not raise blood cholesterol nor does it increase the risk
of contracting heart disease.  It is unlike  animal fats, which are composed of  LCFA
and thus has the potential to raise cholesterol levels.  

In a study, a group of  researchers  conducted a study using  fresh/raw coconut oil.
The results showed that raw coconut oil is neutral and does not cause an increase
in the level of cholesterol.  The  results also  revealed  that  coconut  oil increased
the  level of  HDL  (known as good cholesterol)  while it decreased the level of LDL
(known as bad cholesterol) in humans.

Coconut oil is less likely to cause obesity compared to other oils:

MCFA is easily digested by the body.  Coconut is composed mostly of MCFA thus it
easily digested by the body  and  processed as energy rather than being stored by
the body as fat.  Other oils such as animal based fats or polyunsaturated oils (such
as Soya bean, corn and  canola oil)  contain LCFA, which promotes cholesterol and
is stored easily as body fat.  

Coconut oil contains very effective anti-microbial/anti viral properties.  Coconut oil
is rich in Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT).   MCT is  known to  have  many  health
benefits,  most  notably is its  anti-aging  effects, potential  anti-cancer  effects and
anti-microbial / anti-viral properties.  Since coconut oil is  rich  in MCT,  it promotes
good  health  and  quick  healing.  It  is used  in  traditional  healing  by  most  Asian
countries,  the Philippines,  the Pacific Islands and some parts of Africa. In fact, the
healing properties of coconut oil is so effective that it is used in AIDS research.   

Also, virgin coconut oil is as effective and safe as mineral oil when used as a
moisturiser, with absence of adverse reactions.
