BOOK SUMMARY
If there was an oil you could use for your daily cooking needs
that helped protect you from heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative
conditions, improved your digestion, strengthened your immune system,
and helped you lose excess weight, would you be interested?
No such oils exists you say? Not so! There is an oil that can do
all this and more. No, it's not olive oil, it's not canola oil,
or safflower oil or any of the oils commonly used for culinary purposes.
It's not flaxseed oil, primrose oil, or any of the oils
sold as dietary supplements. It's not rare or exotic. It's ordinary
coconut oil.
But wait, isn't coconut oil a saturated fat? And isn't saturated
fat bad (?) because coconut oil is primarily a saturated oil, it
has been blindly labeled as bad. It is lumped right along with beef
fat and lard with the assumption that they all carry the same health
risks. However, researchers have clearly shown that the oil from
coconuts, a plant source, acts differently than the saturated fat
from animal sources. The oil from coconuts is unique in nature and
provides many health benefits obtainable from no other source.

As unbelievable as it sounds, the oil in coconuts has been found
to aid the body in destroying dozens of harmful viruses including
hepatitis C, herpes, and HIV. Coconut oil has been called the healthiest
dietary oil on earth. If you're not using coconut oil for your daily
cooking and body care needs you're missing out on one of nature's
most amazing health products. In this book you will discover the
many healing miracles of coconut oil. Each health benefit is explained
and fully documented by scientific research.
"Dr. Bruce Fife should be commended for bringing together
in this very readable book the positive health benefits of coconut
oil. The inquiring reader will have a new and more balanced view
of the role of fat and especially saturated fats in our diet."--Jon
