Re: [Goanet] What is Virgin Coconut Oil? (Sunetra Talaulikar, ICAR-PIB)
I would just like to correct the misinformation circulated below. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a non-profit consumer advocacy organization that provides accurate information about health and nutrition, and seeks to advocate better regulation of foods and nutritional products. Its board consists of many prominent medical professionals and experts on nutrition, such as Dr. David Kessler, past commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Please see the list of names of the board members at this link: http://www.cspinet.org/about/board.html BTW, any of the Goanetters who have an interest in technical and scientific details about this issue and can understand them I can provide the original research papers that were referenced in the article that I provided. Here is the list of those references: 1 Lipids 44: 593, 2009. 2 Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 87: 621, 2008. 3 Nutr. Metab. 6: 31, 2009. 4 Trends Food Sci. Tech. 20: 481, 2009. 5 Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 94: 1451, 2011. Cheers, Santosh - Original Message - From: Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão drferdina...@hotmail.com COMMENT: Hah! Hah! A so called scientist relying on an article by one David Schardt, from the so called “Center for Science in the Public Interest”. I guess this must be a new Medical research Center, with peer reviewed research? The references too are from Dieticians, they sure must be having more knowledge than qualified medical scientists.

The health claims in the article posted in this thread about virgin coconut oil are bogus. Those who are marketing and selling it as a wealth loss, heart healthy, anti-aging, anti-HIV, anti-viral and anti-bacterial treatment are endangering lives. Here is an article from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which should set the record straight. http://www.cspinet.org/nah/articles/coconut-oil.html Cheers, Santosh - Original Message - From: floriano.lobo floriano.l...@gmail.com To: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Cc: Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2015 4:01 AM Subject: Re: [Goanet] What is Virgin Coconut Oil?

It is rich in medium chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid and is a treasure trove of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and is an excellent nutraceutical. It has about 50% lauric acids, having qualities similar to mother's milk, thus confirming its disease-fighting ability. When lauric acid enters human body it gets converted to Monolaurin, which has the ability to enhance immunity.

Its antiviral effect has the ability to considerably reduce the viral load of HIV patients. VCO is not subjected to high temperatures, solvents or refinement procedures and therefore retains the fresh scent and taste of coconuts. It is rich in vitamin E, is non-greasy, non-staining and is widely used in soaps, lotions, creams and lip balms. The health benefits of VCO are second to none; ranging from speeding up body metabolic system and providing immunity against a horde of commonly prevalent diseases. Health Benefits of Virgin Coconut Oil Virgin Coconut oil benefits are similar in structure to the fats in mothers milk that gives baby immunity to disease. Virgin Coconut Oil possess anti inflammatory, anti microbial and anti oxidant properties hence protects heart from arthrosclerosis. Virgin Coconut Oil is also digested easily and does not require pancreatic digestive e enzymes and bile and goes directly to the liver for conversion into energy. Virgin Coconut Oil improves the nutritional value if food by increasing absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Virgin Coconut Oil is mainly based in cosmetic products which provide skin health. Coconut oil has several industrial applications, but Virgin Coconut Oil is unique among all other vegetable oils because of its high lauric acid content. It is used as: Hair and skin conditioner, Oil base for various cosmetic and skin care products, Carrier oil for aroma therapy and massage oil, Nutraceuticals and functional food.

Dear Goanet Reader, It would be really nice IF you encouraged writers on health matters to post health related articles directly. I am NOT sure that / If the Indian FDA is similar to the U.S. FDA which takes action of False Health Claims made by individuals. jc On May 17, 2015, at 6:52 AM, Goanet Reader goanetrea...@gmail.com wrote: By Sunetra Talaulikar Virgin coconut oil (VCO), extracted from fresh coconut meat without chemical processes is said to be the mother of all oils.
