 Its molecular structure is that of medium chain triglycerides, which are metabolized quite differently than the long chain triglycerides found in animal fat.
Medium chain triglycerides are not so easily stored as body fat like long chain triglycerides. Instead, these medium chain triglycerides are burned like a slow, steady carbohydrate, providing steady, sustained energy that doesn't spike blood sugar levels or produce an exaggerated insulin response. As a result, coconut oil is ideal for diabetics, although if you make such a statement to most doctors, they would vehemently argue against it. |

 A protein is made up of many amino acids, sometimes thousands, all bound together in a long chain. A particular enzyme can alter that protein by breaking certain links or bonds in the chain, but that enzyme can only break the chain in those very specific locations. A different enzyme is required to continue the job, breaking different links in the chain. Then a third, fourth, fifth, sixth enzyme takes over, until the protein no longer exists. |

 If you could look at a fat molecule under a powerful microscope, it would look like a long chain of carbon atoms, with perhaps 18 or 20 atoms joined in a line. Attached to the carbon chain are hydrogen atoms. If the chain is completely covered (i.e., saturated) with hydrogen atoms, the fat becomes a waxy solid and is called a saturated fat. If, however, hydrogen atoms are absent at several spots on the fat chain, the fat is called polyunsaturated. Polyunsaturated oils are liquids. And if just one spot on the carbon chain has no hydrogen atoms attached, the fat is called monounsaturated. |

 It is uncertain what triggers hyperhidrosis, but it has been linked to overactivity in the thoracic sympathetic ganglion chain, which runs along the vertebrae of the spine inside the chest cavity. This chain controls the glands responsible for perspiration, known as the apocrine and eccrine glands. Different parts of the body become affected depending on which part of the chain is overactive.
Excessive sweating can also be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism, psychiatric disorders, menopause, or obesity. These causes must first be ruled out before treatment can begin. |

 It's not exactly enough chain to wrap around your own neck, even if you were stupid enough to try it. Do the Phoenix airport police seriously want us to believe that a woman choked herself to death on a two-inch chain?
I'm really, really interested to hear the explanation on this one. It must involve alternate realities or parallel universes of some kind. Perhaps an alien teleported into her holding cell, choked her with a much longer alien utility chain, and then teleported out of her cell, leaving her for dead. |

| The A and B chains are bonded by two cystine bridges with one bridge located on the A chain for a total of three bridges. Six residues (amino acids) are found in the two (A and B) chains. Statistically, this allows for 15 possible different cystine bridges. In biologically active human insulin, the bridges along the A and B amino acid strands are A6-A11, A7-B7, and A20-B19. Without batch testing, only Eli Lilly knows how good their methodology is.
In a relatively new U.S. Pat. #6,380,35512, a new process for correctly bonding cystine bridges is described. |

 When they do go to a restaurant, it's one that is not part of a chain and whose cook takes as much care in preparing the food as their mother does. Although they don't know it, they also are helping their health.
Fast- and chain-restaurant food is the worst thing ever to have happened to the American diet. McDonalds, Burger King, and chain restaurants like Applebee's and TGIF pile on the calories in ever-expanding portions, with sodium and fat all far in excess of what we actually need. |

 Like a snake turning on itself, humans at the top of the food chain will eventually be devoured by organisms that are the lowest in the chain, the bacteria.
But before that snake turns, we may not live a violence-free life. Despite our lofty position on the food chain, we are our own worst enemy. More than any other animal, we turn on ourselves. Lower-level animals sometimes turn on themselves, but most aggressive encounters among members of the same species are limited to threatening postures, sounds and scents, not death. |

 When a cell is young, it contains a chain of more than 1,000 telomeres. Each time the cell divides, it uses up ten or twenty telomeres from the chain. Eventually, the chain is devoured and the cell loses its ability to reproduce. The chain of telomeres in cancer cells is not exhausted. The length of the chain is thought to be protected by the enzyme telomerase. Scientists believe that telomerase enables the mutated cell to outwit death.
Once the cells have been initiated with cancer, in order for the cancer to advance, it must be exposed to promoters. |

 Well, chains of molecules in your body perform that kind of activity every minute, and the "stick" they pass that keeps the chain running effectively is called a methyl group (a specific arrangement of hydrogen and carbon atoms). Think of the methyl group as a kind of spark plug that keeps the engines of the body firing cleanly and quickly. This constant transfer is called methylation. When methylation is compromised it's like having sticky, sludgy spark plugs. Everything slows down, energy is compromised, and things just don't work right.
Enter SAMe. SAMe is the ultimate "methyl donor. |

 But in attempting to become stable, they rob from stable molecules, thereby causing a chain reaction—similar to rusting—of cellular breakdown in the body. As one atom with an unpaired electron robs an electron from another cell membrane to stabilize itself, the one robbed becomes unstable and damaged, continuing the chain reaction. Free radicals caused by poor diet, smoke, chemicals, and radiation, assault the body and increase cellular damage. In time, the damage extends to all parts of the cell, including the membrane, fats, protein, and dna. |

| There are two types of triglycerides: medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and long chain triglycerides (LCT). The body uses these two types of triglycerides very differently. Research has indicated that MCTs do not promote weight gain and burn energy rapidly, promoting both weight loss and the burning of LCTs. LCTs, on the other hand, are difficult for the body to metabolize, despite being the most abundant fats in nature. Therefore these compounds are usually stored in the fat deposits of the body.
The normal ranges for triglycerides in the blood are 60-160 for men and 35-135 for women. |

 Researchers concluded that "long-term substitution of medium chain triglycerides for long chain triglycerides [MCT for LCT] would produce weight loss if energy intake remained constant." So if you simply substitute coconut oil for sources of LCTs in your diet, you are going to lose weight. We recommend substituting coconut oil for butter and other oils to be used in salad dressings, spreads, and for low-temperature cooking.

 The term omega, heard more and more often in recent years, comes from the way scientists identify the site on the molecule where the first rigid point in the chain is located. These points are numbered from the end (omega is the last letter in the Greek alphabet) of the chain. So omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are fats whose first rigid point is found at the 3 and 6 positions respectively. For the same reason, monounsaturated fatty acids are often referred to as omega-9s; the only rigid point in their chain occurs at the 9 position. |
| Unfortunately, this reaction brings about modifications in the structure of the molecule, changing the way in which its chain is laid out; it becomes a trans fat, one of a group of fats that are rarely found in nature and that cause damage to cells.

 One supermarket chain in particular believes so much in the "whole foods" movement, they named their company after it! The now ubiquitous and booming Whole Foods Market grocery chain started in 1980 as one store in Austin, Texas. Their mission was simple: "to provide a more natural alternative to what the food supply was typically offering at the time." First and foremost stated in the company philosophy is a dedication "to food in its purest state." So how's business? |
