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?
