Mature coconuts are used in the creation of health-enhancing coconut oil that is mostly solid at room temperature, so it is often referred to as coconut butter. Raw, unprocessed coconut oil smells fragrant like fresh coconuts, while most commercial coconut oils, including the brands commonly found in health food stores, are often deodorized and heat-processed, and therefore are not recommended. Cold-pressed coconut oil is available from the Health Store on the Tree of Life website. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The best source of medium chain triglycerides is coconut oil. coconuts, like most nuts, contain significant amounts of fat, but unlike other nuts, which contain mostly monounsaturated fat, the fat provided by coconuts is almost all in the form of health-promoting medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). The MCTs in coconut oil are saturated fats that range in length from 6 to 12 carbon chains. In contrast, the long chain triglycerides (LCTs) found in most other foods are 18 to 24 carbons long. |

Dr. Palmira Ventosilla, along with a team of researchers at the Instituto de Medicina Tropical in Lima, has created a community-based program that effectively curbs the spread of the disease —in an ecofriendly way. coconuts are natural incubators of a strain of bacteria called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), which produces a toxin that kills mosquito larvae. |

So do you need to worry about the natural, healthy saturated fat in coconut oil? I don't think so, and neither do many experts. "Coconut oil has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol, even in situations where coconut oil is the sole source of fat," said Dr. George Blackburn, a Harvard Medical School researcher testifying at a congressional hearing about tropical oils back in 1988. | | Despite eating a "high-fat" diet (35 to 60 percent of their calories were from fat, mostly saturated fat from coconuts), the Pukapuka and Tokelau islanders were virtually free of atherosclerosis, heart disease, and colon cancer. Digestive problems were rare. The islanders were lean and healthy. There were no signs of kidney disease, and high blood cholesterol was unknown. |

Petrolatum: Also known as petroleum jelly, this mineral oil derivative is used for its emollient properties in cosmetics. It has no nutrient value for the skin and can interfere with the body's own natural moisturizing mechanism, leading to dryness and chapping. It often creates the very conditions it claims to alleviate. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Goodry: What's so unique about it is that when you make coconut oil, you're dealing with 50 percent moisture, since coconuts are mostly moisture. As you probably know, moisture works against you when you're trying to make a product that has any kind of shelf life. What we do is take the fresh coconut meat, chop it up, and dilute it with water into a coconut milk. We go from the fresh coconut meat to a coconut milk; then, we chill it. We then take this chilled coconut milk and pour it into a series of centrifuges. |

Cobalt is an element that is part of the Bi2 complex and many of the enzymes of the body are enhanced by cobalt. Cobalt is found in the red blood cells and plasma, as well as kidneys, liver, pancreas, and spleen. An excess of cobalt could possibly affect the thyroid function, causing goiter. Angstrom-size cobalt is a good source.

Phosphate deposits discovered on the island brought an influx of wealth and a change in lifestyle. The islanders replaced the coconut and yams they had eaten for centuries with foods made from refined flour, sugar, and processed vegetable oils. The result was the emergence of a never before seen disease - diabetes. According to the World Health Organization up to one-half of the urbanized Nauru population age 30-64 are now diabetic."

See book keywords and concepts |  Saturated fats are also present in coconuts. Saturated simply means that these fats do not have the ability to bond in the body as they have no open bonds; in other words, they are usually empty calories that contribute to a fat buildup or weight gain in the body although small quantities of saturated fats are used by the body for certain chemical reactions. Saturated fats, when from an animal source, are always accompanied by cholesterol. (Remember that plants are unable to manufacture cholesterol.) Cholesterol, as we all know, contributes to heart disease when consumed on a regular basis. |

As more Americans seek healthier food choices, nut and seed consumption is on the rise. Nuts and seeds, like the other plant foods discussed in previous chapters, are rich not only in their nutrient content but also in their phyto-chemical content. In addition to fiber components, important phytochemicals in nuts and seeds include protease inhibitors, ellagic acid, and other polyphenols. |

4. If sweet fruits are eaten with cooked or steamed non-starchy vegetables (asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli), the fruit should be eaten first. Combining sweet fruits and non-starchy cooked vegetables may allow the sugar from the sweet fruit to be time-released, again providing more long-term energy; this does not work for everybody. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Short- and medium-chain saturated fatty acids like those found in coconuts are actually much more likely to be burned for fuel than stored as fat, and can be a great adjunct to a weight loss program. And others, like stearic acid, have no effect whatsoever on cholesterol, except to possibly raise protective HDL.
Consider this, as the brilliant investigative reporter and three-time National Association of Science Writers' Science in Society Award winner Gary Taubes did in a recent article in Science. A porterhouse steak cooks down to about half fat and half protein. | | The Tokelauan Islanders get 63 percent of their diet from the healthy saturated fat in coconuts, and though their cholesterol levels are a bit high, they have virtually no heart
Fats: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
We know a lot more about fat than we did back in the '50s and even in the '80s, when the message was "All fat is bad." Most people are now aware that there are "good" fats and "bad" fats, and most people believe that the bad fats are saturated. Not so fast. It's turning out to be even more complicated than that. |

See book keywords and concepts | | TIPS FOR PREPARING
Whole green coconuts, called buko in the Philippines, are harvested when the meat is soft and rubbery. Should you be able to buy these at your market, after removing the husk, poke two holes in the "eyes," the soft spots at the bottom end of the coconut. Place eye side down in a small bowl, allow the liquid to drain out, and save for later use. Then crack open the shell and simply scoop the meat out with a spoon. Enjoy buko on its own or add it along with the coconut liquid to smoothies, soups, curries, or baked goods for flavor. | | Since shredded coconut is often sweetened with sugar and preserved with propylene glycol (a chemical used in antifreeze), we recommend that you read labels carefully to avoid such products or buy whole coconuts and prepare your own shredded coconut with the aid of a food processor. Store shredded coconut in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or a refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for about a month.
• Creamed coconut is found in the refrigerated foods section of Asian and Indian markets and in some whole-food markets and health food stores. | | HOW TO SELECT AND STORE
Mature coconuts are available in most grocery stores. Store them in a dry, cool area if you purchase them whole to crack open yourself. Once a coconut is opened, its meat should be refrigerated and used within seven to ten days.
A number of prepared coconut products are available in many natural and whole-food markets, including dried coconut meat, creamed coconut (very finely ground dried coconut blended with coconut milk), canned coconut milk (either the fluid found inside the coconut or milk made from the expressed juice of grated coconut), and coconut oil. | | Today, about 20 billion coconuts are grown each year, and although the major producers are the Philippines, India, and Indonesia, virtually everywhere the coconut palm grows—in the tropical regions of Latin America and East Africa, as well as Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Philippines—coconut products serve as a dietary staple. |
