Organic Virgin Coconut Oil  

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil   is  produced  from  fresh  organic coconuts  (not from dried copra).  The
fresh coconut meat is then  granulated  using a  desiccator and  dehydrated  using a  fully automatic
drier at a controlled and at desired temperature to maintain  its nutrients.  Once the coconut meat is
dried, it then passed  through a  mechanical pressed using an expeller to extract the Virgin Coconut
Oil.

Virgin Coconut Oil  does not increase  blood cholesterol and  thus does  not cause  heart  disease. It
has a neutral effect on blood  cholesterol, even in situations where coconut oil is the sole source  of
fat  (George Blackburn M.D.,  Harvard  Medical School).   There are two types of saturated fats which
are 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.

Virgin Coconut oil  is  less  likely  to  cause obesity compared to other oils.  Coconut Oil is composed
mostly of  MCFA.  Thus, it is easily  digested by the body and processed as  energy rather than being
stored by the body as fat.

Coconut oil is rich in  Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT),  known to have many  health benefits, most
notably 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 concoctions in most Asian countries.  In fact, the healing properties of coconut oil is used in
AIDS research.
