23 Benefits of Coconut Oil

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you currently don’t use much coconut oil in your cooking, here are a list of benefits that will likely make you want to start. All oils are not created equally, and many of them are not beneficial to the body. But others, like olive oil have been shown to add extra health benefits. Coconut oil is the same way, with plenty of side benefits to taking it that make it a top contender to be the number one oil in your kitchen. <br><br>Diseases and Conditions <br><br>Prevents Cancer – This is probably the biggest reason to use coconut oil instead of other less healthy oils. Promising experiments with rats show that those given coconut oil were less likely to develop tumors and more able to fight off cancer cells that were intentionally injected into them. While the correlation between rats and humans is debatable, it’s a good idea to play it on the safe side and simply buy coconut oil next time you’re out. <br><br><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLc85otMwmOh1FSDJgn2kNPQFfFy_syUn7ezvap_Zse6CJsKdTOVxeuTAWkFUW1DKaZkjJ3HUWhvrSLUdqKhnotUbfroLfNzZxjNIatHVAV9_cJwanCP9PmJrpNMSkzTnVXfA_wr8UDck/s1600/coconutoilfordiseases.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLc85otMwmOh1FSDJgn2kNPQFfFy_syUn7ezvap_Zse6CJsKdTOVxeuTAWkFUW1DKaZkjJ3HUWhvrSLUdqKhnotUbfroLfNzZxjNIatHVAV9_cJwanCP9PmJrpNMSkzTnVXfA_wr8UDck/s640/coconutoilfordiseases.jpg"></a></span>

Coconut Oil Hailed as ‘Miracle’ Dental Breakthrough, Deadly Bacteria Killer

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking for an alternative to toothpastes loaded with sulfates and other toxic ingredients such as fluoride? Mainstream science has now fully recognized the ‘miracle’ powers of coconut oil to not only combat tooth decay and drastically improve overall mouth health, but also to specifically crush a yeast known as candida albicans that can lead to deadly infections. This ‘news’ likely comes as nothing more than further confirmation for many, as natural health practicioners have been recommending coconut oil for years.</span></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><img src="http://livefreelivenatural.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/toothpaste_on_brush_r-449x264.jpg" /></span><br /> <!-- Begin BidVertiser code --><br /> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=579098%26bid=1449088" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT><br /> <noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertiser/bdv_advertiser.dbm">marketing</a></noscript><br /> <!-- End BidVertiser code --> <br /> <span style="background-color: white;"><br /> </span> <div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The research comes from the <a href="http://www.ait.ie/aboutaitandathlone/newsevents/pressreleases/2012pressreleases/title-16107-en.html" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Athlone Institute of Technology</a>, where Ireland-based scientists examined the effects of natural and digested coconut oil on common strains of bacteria within the mouth. What they found was that not only did the coconut oil effectively inhibit a majority of the bacteria strains single-handedly, but it was also particularly harmful to <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="4f1e1654-26bc-4914-8ed7-35bd66e7689e" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">candida</span> albicans. This is important when considering the fact that an excessive amount of the yeast known as <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="0040b715-9de0-4b17-a603-3dccc7bc1a18" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">candida</span> albicans can be brought upon by a poor diet consisting of processed foods and sugar.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Candida infection, also known as Candida overgrowth or the ‘candy disease’, can be associated with symptoms like chronic tiredness, recurring yeast infections, and digestive issues. It can also lead to a mouth infection known as thrush — a condition typically ‘treated’ <a href="http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-health-thrush" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">using anti-fungal medications</a> preceded by an x-ray of your esophagus. Now, researchers are highlighting how coconut oil intake can be an alternative solution with far less side effects and concerns.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In their report, the scientists state that coconut oil could be ‘an effective alternative to chemical additives’ in most dental hygiene products. This refers to the many sulfate chemicals linked to numerous conditions, added fluoride, and many others.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is important to ensure that you purchase the right kind of high quality coconut oil when purchasing it online or from your local supermarket. An important consideration is that the scientists conducting the study may have actually used an inferior low quality coconut oil, meaning that the results may have actually been even more positive if they were to use a 100% organic, extra virgin source. As a general rule of thumb, just <a href="http://naturalsociety.com/the-truth-about-most-vitamins-and-supplements/" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">as with vitamins and other</a> supplements, avoid purchasing a generic brand of non-organic coconut oil from your local chain supermarket.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead, look for a USDA certified organic or 100% organic label that is unrefined and cold-pressed.
