COCONUT OIL, Extra Virgin, Certified Organic:

The addition of coconut oil, which is primarily a saturated fat, helps protect your heart cells from damage, boost your thyroid function, increase your metabolism, and support your immune system. Many studies have demonstrated a close association between consumption of unsaturated oils (vegetable oils like corn and canola) and increased incidence of cancer.  Avoid cooking with unsaturated oils, such as corn and canola, which produce a variety of toxic chemicals when heated and are almost universally genetically modified (GM) G. W. Crile and his wife found the metabolic rate of people in Yucatan, where coconut is a staple food, averaged 25 percent higher than that of Americans. Unsaturated fats suppress your metabolic rate, which can lead to hypopituitarism; coconut oil can actually enhance your thyroid function and help you achieve your optimal weight.
