Coconut oil and infections...
I found some interesting information today about coconut oil. As you know, coconut oil is composed of fatty acids -- some of which have:
- antibacterial
- antimicrobial and
- antiviral
properties. Coconut oil also has some immune-system stimulating effects which means it may actually help protect you as your body is fighting off infections. Pretty amazing, huh?
I wonder if this also means coconut oil has certain benefits for those who have autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (see www.mylifewithms.com). I need to investigate this further. I do know that saturated fat (the fat found in coconut oil) is of a certain food category that further "inflames" already inflammatory conditions such as multiple sclerosis and heart disease. This definitely bears more investigation.

Hello,
Just found your blog regarding coconut oil. I've just started taking it but was a bit concerned because I've read conflicting info about coconut oil and high blood pressure. Do you have any info on this?
Thanks,
Mike
