No need to feel sorry about the cook...Hello Shelly! No need to feel sorry about the cookies. You were on the right track all along! Coconut oil truly is healthy! Let me comment on some of the following points:<BR/><BR/>"...no matter how long or short those chains may be, the fatty acids in this oil are still saturated fatty acids. And that's bad..."<BR/><BR/>- Not true! Medium chain fatty acid MCFA-rich coconut oil is very very different from long chain fatty acid oils like soybean oil, canola oil, etc.<BR/><BR/>For one, MCFA-rich coconut oil goes straight to your liver to help power metabolism, while LCFA oils travel great distances in your body and are much much more likely to contribute to being overweight, just to name one. In a nutshell, MCFA-rich coconut oil is PRO-Energy, NOT PRO-Fat.<BR/><BR/>MCFAs are so so different from LCFAs! Their absorption, transport, metabolism and uses are completely different.<BR/><BR/>Coconut oil is so safe, Shelly, that the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has included coconut oil on its exclusive GRASS (Generally Regarded As Safe) list.<BR/><BR/>I believe in the saying, "everything in moderation." I think that for every negative point thrown at saturated fats, there's a corresponding one for UNsaturated fats.<BR/><BR/>So called "experts" say that saturated fats are bad and unsaturated fats are good. Well, did you know that polyunsaturated oils are the sources of inflammatory prostaglandins, allergic leukotrienes, blood clot inducing thromboxane and when partly hydrogenated, are transformed into transfatty acids that are even more atherogenic.<BR/><BR/>Saturated fats are so stable that they are not vulnerable to oxidation and free radical formation as unsaturated fats are. Food manufacturers have known this for decades. Since they're much more stable, saturated fats are ideal for cooking, especially for frying.<BR/><BR/>I can go on and on but I really have to stop. Sorry for the long comment... Appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>CoconutOilGuy<BR/><A HREF="http://www.coconut-oil-central.com" REL="nofollow">www.coconut-oil-central.com</A><BR/>Your Drugstore in a BottleFrederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320607673193107558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742511901871399775.post-22688572891034785132008-11-26T15:17:00.000-08:002008-11-26T15:17:00.000-08:00Happy Thanksgiving Mushky. I'm thinking about you...Happy Thanksgiving Mushky. I'm thinking about you.<BR/><BR/>Also, Morty eats tons of Coconut oil and is skinny. So does John Gray who swears by it. Who knows? There is a Dentist named Weston Price who studied cultures all over the world and in his book he talks about the virtues of coconut oil. Sally Fallon too. Hope this doesn't confuse you further. <BR/> hugs and love<BR/>ShellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742511901871399775.post-79752034624019210762008-11-25T11:18:00.000-08:002008-11-25T11:18:00.000-08:00Yea Shel.
