Olive Oil Versus Coconut Oil
The Benefits of Olive Oil and Coconut Oil
Extra Virgin coconut oil is good for the heart, promotes weight loss by speeding up your metabolism and helping with the proper function of the thyroid gland, keeps your breath fresh, makes a wonderful skin moisturizer and softener, also works well as a sunscreen and does not wash off as easily as sunscreen lotions, works as an underarm and foot deodorant and as an antiperspirant. The benefits of coconut oil are countless!
Polyunsaturated fats and omega-6 oils which include common vegetable oils such as corn, soy, safflower, sunflower and canola, are the absolute worst oils to use in cooking. These oils are highly susceptible to heat damage due to the double bonds found in them and encourage the formation of blood clots by increasing platelet stickiness.Dr. Mercola states that Coconut oil helps to promote normal platelet function and that the only oil that is able to resist heat induced damage while promoting heart health and maintaining normal cholesterol levels is virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is made from the flesh of matured coconuts and according to Wikipedia has 862 calories per 100 grams while olive oil has 890 calories per 100 grams.During world war II the U.S was prevented from shipping coconut oil and so other oils that were easy to obtain but not easy on the body were marketed and advertised as being good for you. After the war, coconut oil was available but kept in the dark because it threatened the market for the leading oil brands
So now I'm just passing the word. There's two types of oils you can have in your house and feel good about, extra virgin olive oil and extra virgin coconut oil. Uncooked extra virgin olive oil for your health, salad dressings and flavoring foods and coconut oil for cooking, baking and everything else including deep frying! You can get rid of those other oils. Let someone figure out how to use them in cars.
Just like olive oil there are different grades of coconut oil. For extra virgin coconut oil to benefit you it should have certain qualities. Virgin coconut oil must be organic, must not be refined, must not have added chemicals, must not be bleached, must not be deodorized, must not be hydrogenated, and must be made without heat processing. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has a mild but pleasant flavor and scent making it a wonderful ingredient to add to your meals and your life.

hell suncreen probably contributes to cancer, wouldn't surprise me at all. the amount of chemicals we expose ourselves to is obscene ;(. You try to point it out and people think you're crazy or a nerd or whatever. Good job.
