Many people doubt that virgin coconut oil belongs to healthy food and fear of its toxic effects – effects that normally come with other unsaturated oils.

In 1996, Raymond Peat, Ph.D. made a clear statement to refuse such misconception.

Dr. Peat was among the main scientists that had a big influence with the work on progesterone in the USA.

He loudly and repeatedly stated that virgin coconut oil does not contain those toxic effects.

Unlike most unsaturated oils contained in cooked foods that would become rancid in a few hours (even if you put them in your refrigerator), Dr. Peat’s test showed that virgin coconut oil had NO indication of rancidity, even if you store it in a room temperature for a year!

Another experiment conducted in 1978 used pregnant mice as samples. The result revealed that the young mice whose mother had been given diets with coconut oil turned out to have outstanding brain development!

On the contrary, about 2 years later, some experimenters showed that young rats which had directly absorbed soybean oil to their brain cells through milk feeding, turned out to experience brain cell structure damages.

Facts also showed that you can use virgin coconut oil for skin care. It helps prevent wrinkling and aging.

Dr. Peat also suggested to add virgin coconut oil to everyone’s diet. Proofs were found that if coconut oil added frequently to a balance diet really lowers cholesterol to normal. This happens because virgin coconut oil encourage the changing of cholesterol into pregnenolone.

He found that coconut-consuming societies in tropical countries  had steadily lower cholesterol than those in the U.S.

A more shocking fact is when he said, “Everyone that I know who uses coconut oil regularly happens to have cholesterol levels of about 160, while eating mainly cholesterol rich foods (eggs, milk, cheese, meat, shellfish)”.

Does this mean that most of the images on virgin coconut oil and cholesterol that spread in the west cultures in the past are misleading and fictitious?
