Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Use nature's elixir to lose weight, prevent heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, and beautify skin and hair.

Can saturated fat be good for you?

Natural coconut oil-not the hydrogenated version often found in processed foods-is a saturated fat, but not the kind your doctor has warned you about. Studies have shown that this uniquely curative oil actually has innumerable health benefits ranging from disease prevention to anti-aging. Now, in his revised edition of the first book to describe the therapeutic properties of coconut oil, Bruce Fife offers a nutrition plan with dozens of tasty recipes that will allow anyone to experience the healing miracles of what he deems the "perfect food."

When taken as a supplement, used in cooking, or applied to directly to the skin, coconut oil has been found to:

- Promote weight loss

- Help protect against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and many other degenerative diseases

- Strengthen the immune system

- Improve digestion

- Prevent premature aging of the skin

When taken as a supplement, used in cooking, or applied directly to the skin, coconut oil has been found to promote weight loss, help protect against many diseases, strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and prevent premature aging of the skin.

This lovely book makes you want to rush out & buy coconut oil, milk & flour! Anti-viral, fungal & bacterial, the lauric acid (MCT) in the oil kills fat coated viruses inc. Hep. C, herpes, staph & strep, HIV, & influenza. Nourising to the body & brain, no wonder the long lived Polynesians who followed a Traditional diet called it "tree of life." A great read!

I had never heard or read much about coconut oil until I read this book. I liked that this was well-referenced, to references in the real scientific literature. The author opens wide the soy scam that big agro has going - I had no idea that "vegetable oil" is, in fact, soybean oil (I always thought it was corn oil). He includes a section of recipes, substituting coconut oil for butter/margarine. Having rediscovered my dairy allergy, I have been using coconut oil in place of butter - on toast, for frying eggs, in baking, and so on. Different brands of coconut oil have different levels of the coconut flavor, and one gets acclimated to the coconut flavor after a while. I have since passed the book along to my mother who is also learning a lot.
