How about the EXTRA Virgin Coconut Oil? What's the difference from the ordinary one?

zildjian: my mistake regarding saturation...

regarding therapeutic claims kasi, here in manila every supplement is marketed as a cure.

[zildjian]

no problem bossing theveed.

yap, agree ako when it comes to claims. naniniwala ako na walang instant cure nowadays. meron pa siguro mga pang control at pang prevent para hindi lumala mga sakit.

i've been researching nga heavily on oils, vaccine, and other stuffs related to health. because of that, hindi na ako gumagamit ng oils na canola, corn, soya, at mga highly refined ones dun ako sa lesser evil oils. it's ironic nga kasi canola is being marketed as good for the heart but an officemate of mine na canola user before ay naatake. he's now coco or palm oil (golden fiesta - lesser evil daw) user at hinto nya canola. nawala na pangingirut ng kanyang puso. i'm not saying that the coco oil cured it. siguro nalessen na lang nung hininto nya canola. the use of coco oil might have not aggravated his heart condition.

i don't do vaccine also anymore. my 6 months old baby girl only received the one that was given right at birth and i did not know at that time that there are bad effects specially mercury (in form of thimerosal) containing vaccines. autism daw ang side effect nito according to many studies which the cdc and fda is covering up. i'll probably post a thread about that. it's good info i think.

here's more info mga bossing.

excerpt....

Traditionally, polyunsaturated oils such as soybean oil have been used for livestock feed because they cause the animals to gain weight. These oils are made up of what is known as long chain fatty acids--the kind of fatty acids that promote weight gain. 4

Coconut oil, on the other hand, is a saturated fat made up primarily of medium chain fatty acids. Also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), medium chain fatty acids are known to increase metabolism and promote weight loss. Coconut oil can also raise basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism. This is good news for people who suffer with low thyroid function.

...........

Several studies have shown that MCTs promote weight loss. One study showed that rats fed long chain fatty acids (LCTs) stored body fat, while rats fed MCTs reduced body fat and improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance... 5 In March 2003, this same journal published findings that medium-chain triglycerides increase energy expenditure and decrease adiposity in overweight men. The study was conducted with twenty-four healthy, overweight men with body mass indexes between 25 and 31 kg/m. They consumed diets rich in MCT or LCT for 28 days, each in a crossover randomized controlled trial. Those consuming MCTs lost more weight and had more energy than those consuming LCTs (in this case olive oil).

An earlier study in 2002, The Journal of Nutrition came to the same conclusion. They reported that MCTs are more readily oxidized in the liver than LCTs, which leads to more energy and less weight gain. The study concluded that MCTs increase energy expenditure, may result in faster satiety, and facilitate weight control when included in the diet as a replacement for fats containing LCTs.

ang mga stupid claims like yung sa TV about yung oil... langhiya, pritong manok padin ang linuto pero ok lang dahil may omega 3 o 6 yung oil...

in the end, your consumption of oil and how you use it will dictate your health anyway. if you eat a lot of bad food cooked in good oil, it wont mean squat.

mga usual "testimonies" after using supplement is caused by a change in diet habits. Which may or may not include the use of healthier ingredients.

[zildjian]

hehe... stupid nga. deep pride chicken???...

yung omega 6 marami yata source sa mga pagkain pero yung omega 3 ay mahirap. i believe tuna is one source and fish/cod oil. i don't know if century tuna is still a good source though. point is cooking oil is not a good source of omega 6/3. at yung omega 9 naman sa canola na may puso pa ay misleading yata.

[theveed]

sobra hehe... sarap batukan yung nagisip nun.

[theveed]

Medyo naka-adjust na ang tiyan ko sa VCO. I have not experienced LBM for 2 days now. BTW, I'm drinking "Nature's Gift" by Tropicana Food Products, San Pablo City.

bago rin lang mga months lang pero recently di na ako nakakatake dahil wala ako stock ng tropical tradition. wala naman rin kasi ako masyado nararamdaman aside sa allergy ko. every morning kasi ay may colds ako before. this may also be attributed to my no sugar diet or both worked in. generally walang magandang testimony sa akin kasi talagang prevention lang ang motive ko. as much as possible kasi iniiwasan ko sugar, pasteurized milk, margarines, at mga processed foods.

my officemate who has hepertension is a good testimony of VCO.
