Pure coconut oil is good for health

Your article ‘Essential fats’ (WDDTY vol 14 no 2) was rather confusing; the most important fact is the way coconut oil is produced. Many varieties are RBD (refined, bleached and deodorised) and these are bad for the health. However, if you use 100 per cent pure virgin coconut oil, you are using a healthy oil that has tremendous health properties. It can be beneficial for those with Crohn’s disease, IBS and Candida as well as offer much promise to sufferers of hypothyroidism and a slow metabolism, and can therefore help with weight loss and much more. – S.
