Have you ever felt the health from the food you eat. Sometimes you don’t feel the positive benefit unless you have experienced the absence of health. I have been using olive oil to cook for years, never knowing the harm I was doing to my circulatory system. Over the years and slow progression of chest tension, I thought it was a normal sensation until I switched to cooking my morning eggs in coconut oil. There was a noticeable change of less chest discomfort after a few days of using coconut oil. I’ve always been concerned with my cholesterol levels, but not willing to take statin drugs to control it. Dietary changes and liver cleanses have always kept my levels in the normal range on my chem panel blood labs. Here is some research to show coconut oil is beneficial for your cholesterol levels:

Abstract
Coconut oil is a common edible oil in many countries, and there is mixed evidence for its effects on lipid profiles and cardiovascular disease risk. Here we examine the association between coconut oil consumption and lipid profiles in a cohort of 1,839 Filipino women (age 35-69 years) participating in the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey, a community based study in Metropolitan Cebu. Coconut oil intake was estimated using the mean of two 24-hour dietary recalls (9.5±8.9 grams). Lipid profiles were measured in morning plasma samples collected after an overnight fast. Linear regression models were used to estimate the association between coconut oil intake and each plasma lipid outcome after adjusting for total energy intake, age, body mass index (BMI), number of pregnancies, education, menopausal status, household assets and urban residency. Dietary coconut oil intake was positively associated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol especially among pre-menopausal women, suggesting that coconut oil intake is associated with beneficial lipid profiles. Coconut oil consumption was not significantly associated with low density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglyceride values. The relationship of coconut oil to cholesterol profiles needs further study in populations in which coconut oil consumption is common.

There has also been some interesting research and case studies regarding the benefits of coconut oil for Alzheimer’s patients. I’ll let the youtube video tell you about Dr. Newport’s work:
