en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_oil

The United States Food and Drug Administration ,^[2] World Health Organization ,^[3] International College of Nutrition ,^[4] the United States Department of Health and Human Services ,^[5] American Dietetic Association ,^[6] American Heart Association ,^[7] British National Health Service ,^[8] and Dietitians of Canada ^[6] recommend against the consumption of significant amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat. Advocacy against coconut and palm oils in the 1970s and 80s due to their perceived danger as a saturated fat caused companies to instead substitute trans fats , unaware of their health-damaging effects.^[20]
Coconut oil contains a large proportion of lauric acid , a saturated fat that raises blood cholesterol levels by increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol^[21] that is also found in significant amounts in breast milk and sebaceous gland secretions.^[22] This may create a more favourable blood cholesterol profile, though it is unclear if coconut oil may promote atherosclerosis through other pathways.^[21] Because much of the saturated fat of coconut oil is in the form of lauric acid, coconut oil may be a better alternative to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil when solid fats are required.^[23] In addition, virgin coconut oil is composed mainly of medium-chain triglycerides ,^[24] which may not carry the same risks as other saturated fats.^[23][25] Early studies on the health effects of coconut oil used partially hydrogenated coconut oil, which creates trans fats , and not virgin coconut oil, which has a different health risk profile.^[26]

different plant. croton oil is extracted from a seed-like 'fruit'

coconut fat is in the form of Lauric acid and does not create the problems of other saturated fats.

this has been known for ages from when they used to use various coconut meals to fatten up cows and pigs for slaughter and failed miserably.

the coconut meal did not fatten up the animals because of the same lauric acid effect and they had to try other meals.

the british and Lever Bros lied to us in the westindies about the properties of coconut coconut/oil for obvious reasons.  now we know better.

medium chain triglycerides whatever the hell they are are great for the human heart.  and coconut is one of the sources of this fat

coconut is another one of those plants with many, many cool, life-enhancing advantages for human beings..positively applicable to many uses in the life routine

the best detergent at the moment is fully coconut based and totally safe to use, with no harful residues to the environment and human health.  it is called ECOS, and can be bought at Canadia Tire for one location in Ontario

cool!

hahahah Snake oil salesmen still exists  :: :: ::
Groupon Criticized For Literally Peddling Snake Oil

By Adam Clark Estes | The Atlantic Wire – 40 mins ago

It's easy to laugh at the just released report from British advertising watchdogs scolding Groupon for selling snake oil after the company helped peddle an anti-aging serum last October.A complaint reviewed by the London-based Advertising Standards Authority scolded the Chicago-based deals site's U.K. affiliate, MyCity Deal, for falsely promoting the effects of "Wrinkle Killer Snake Serum" that the ad copy said offered "temporary freeze-like effects on the face muscles" and "leaves the skin looking younger." After what sounds like a pretty scientific study of the snake oil's effects , the ASA deemed the ad "misleading" and subsequently forbade Groupon from running it again.

This is funny for a couple of reasons. The first one is simply the idea that snake oil salesmen still exist in the world and still attempt to sell snake oil. It was over a hundred years ago that the Food and Drug Act regulated the sale of medicines, and while using snake oil as an anti-age serum is not the same as using it cure diseases , it's still a pretty lame way to take advantage of consumers.

Maps....you never heard about 'croton' oil?? :shocked:

i thought every guyanese knows about this.
