For decades, virgin coconut oil had
been accused of damaging human’s health.
On the contrary, soybean earned all the credits. Well, now is the time
for you to know the real story!
Virgin coconut oil started her journey a very long time ago.
It was
stated in an ancient book of Ayuverda, that thousands of
years before century (B.C.), people exploited this oil, for
consumption as well as for cure.
For people in Indonesia, Polynesia, Micronesia and
other tropical parts of the world,
coconut is very essential. They
took advantages of its meat and water, processed it for coconut
cream and
coconut oil to enhance their quality of life.
And this went on for
thousands of years…
Around 1945, virgin
coconut oil reached its golden years. In some Asian Pacific
countries, the commodity became one of the most wanted goods.
Coconut water also played an important role in the World War II. It
helped cure many of the injured Alliance troops. They actually used
the water from coconut as a cold compress for wounds!
After the war, the
Americans and English transformed virgin coconut oil into margarine.
Some business-oriented parties in both countries started a campaign
against this oil. They intended to stop the dependency for tropical
oils. The next thing, they promoted corn oil and soybean oil for
exchange…
