Cuckoo for Coconuts!

Being cuckoo for coconut (products) is far better than just being cuckoo in general or cuckoo for cocoa puffs, as the 1980's ad campaign mantra suggested that we all be for their cereal.
Coconut oil has been consumed in tropical areas for thousands of years by the indigenious people's of these areas with no ill effects by the populace. In fact, the culture's embracing the usage of coconut oil enjoyed very robust health and still do. Coconut oil was also once a popular oil in the United States. In the 1980's, it started to lose its popularity, which can be attributed to a negative "smear" campaign which was fueled by trade politics involving U.S. soybean producers, etc. As a result of this campaign, almost all manufacturers of food products, began altering their products by adding polyunsaturated oils instead of saturated oils (coconut and palm). The public began to fear the "evil" saturated fats and shy away from eating products containing them. The population falsely believed that the new oils were better for them. This myth is slowly, but surely disintegrating. Evidence continues to mount against polyunsaturated oils, namely "trans fats". Polyunsaturated oils become "trans fats" by being hydrogenated. The hydrogenation process is needed to stabilize these oils or they will go rancid. Whereas, inherent in the natural chemistry of the so called "evil" saturated fat oils, such as coconut, are natural stabilizers, so they do not need to be hydrogenated.
I would suggest that you pick up a book, such as:  Coconut Cures-Preventing and Treating Common Health Problems with Coconut by Bruce Fife, N.D., for an eye opening experience regarding coconut oils. There are also many coconut cookbooks available for the curious person wanting to learn more and to better their health. There are many coconut by-products as well. One that comes to mind that is miraculous in nature, is coconut water. I drink it all the time after a workout as it is jam packed with electrolytes, magnesium and calcium. It is only second in purity for the body after water. In fact coconut water was utilized during WWII in blood transfusions due to the shortage of blood as it has almost identical properties to blood plasma.
Coconut flour is also a godsend for many Celiacs, who are people who cannot consume gluten containing grains as it is both high protein and fiber and gluten free. I have made products with coconut flour and they taste wonderful. What are you waiting for, give it a try!
