Saturated fats have a bad rap in the diet world because we've been lead to believe they are the reason we're all overweight and dropping like flies from heart attacks and strokes. Not the case. However, as it states in my blog title I'm not a scientist nor a nutritionist so I'm not going to pretend I am qualified enough to tell you why coconut oil is one of the most beneficial things you can eat, and why it's not going to cause you to meet your maker any time soon.
I'll leave that up to those who really know their stuff and who have the expertise to explain it in a way you'll understand. Please, take time to read because it is the most interesting and eye opening subject and just may change the way you look at fats all together.
I give you....
Mark Sisson From Marks Daily Apple. A website I subscribe to and read pretty much every day. Mark has a daily email that keeps you informed, up to date and motivated. He's a great writer and speaker and is very well respected in the Paleo realm (as is everyone else I'm going to link)
Sean Croxton From Underground Wellness. I first got into UW when my nephew started speaking to me about the problems sugar creates in our diet. Since then I have been a huge fan of Sean and UW. Sean recently hosted a Paleo Summit which I subscribed to. The information I gleaned from it was astonishing.
Robb Wolf Robb has a stack of info on the benefits of coconut oil and Paleo eating on his blog. His book 'The Paleo Solution' was the first book I ever read about Paleo diets and it's what hurtled me into the world of Paleo eating. Robb's website is fantastic. Look at it, get lost in it and then buy the book :)
Ok, so there's three. I have many many more but I think that if you get through those three and really seriously read them, you'll have more than enough information to understand why coconut oil is extremely beneficial to your body.
I get my coconut oil from Loving Earth
