For a long time, coconut oil has been wrongly advertised as an unhealthy food product because of its high unsaturated fat content in order to promote other cooking oils such as canola. The common complaints against coconut oil were elevated cholesterol levels, risk of heart and brain disorders etc. Today, research has revealed that coconut oil, although comprising of 90% saturated fats, is quite safe for consumption and contrary to what was advertised, has dozens of health benefits of its own. From being a natural cooking oil that is delicious and having a high smoke point, to a healer of several serious diseases and preventer of a similar number, coconut oil is indeed a blessing of nature that has been misrepresented for a long time. This book aims to educate the reader on the health benefits of coconut oil and enable them to take full advantage of this healthy commodity in their lives so that they can reap all the health benefits of the oil and avoid any side effects that it may cause.
