Date: January 07, 2007 09:01PM Tho, I wonder about coconut fats and lauric acid in virgin coconut oil and that it kills lipid-coated bacteria but does not appear to harm the friendly intestinal bacteria. The MCFA (medium chain fatty acids) in coconut oil also have antifungal properties so not only will they kill disease-causing bacteria and leave good bacteria alone, they will also kill candida and other fungi in the intestinal tract, further supporting a healthy intestinal environment.

There are so few nutrients in coconut oil. Compare 120 calories of coconut oil versus 120 calories of oranges: 1 tbsp coconut oil (~120 calories) Fat: 14g Vitamins E 0.3% Mineral Iron 0.05% 1.5 cups of orange (~120 calories) Carb: 32g Protein: 3g Fiber: 6g Vitamins A 6% E 6% K 0.3% C 239% Thiamin 20% Riboflavin 8% B-6 12% Niacin 5% Folate 20% Minerals Iron 3% Zinc 1% Selenium 2% Calcium 11% Phosphorus: 5% Magnesium: 6% Potassium: 489 mg To me, the coconut oil looks like pretty empty calories!

Date: January 07, 2007 10:16PM Bryan, I see your point and I love oranges! I was asking about the medicinal value of coconuts, for thyroid health, candida, ect. I'd rather have a little young coconut, not indulging though, rather than the coconut oil, for the reasons you've pointed out above.
While I've cut down on my fats drastically, I still have an avocado each day, which is about 1/3 of what I use to eat. Re: Candida and fruit

You may want to read The Coconut Oil Miracle. I skimmed through it in the book store and it looked VERY interesting. It may be up your alley, you should take a look at it. Re: Candida and fruit
