Coconut oil is the best vegetable oil for cooking. Only animal fats are more stable than coconut oil on high heat.

The short chain fatty acids in coconut also combat candida.

Corn isn't good for cattle either, which is why corn fed cattle need antibiotics.

I take it that this is when you take it orally, rather than apply it topically? thanks

The anti-fungal active ingredients in coconut oil are caprylic acid, capric acid and lauric acid. All three of these are medium-chain, saturated fatty acids that work together to break down the cell walls of microbes such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Caprylic acid has been used by doctors and naturopaths for quite some time in fighting candida yeast infections. (It's especially effective on patients who have adverse reactions to anti-fungal pharmaceuticals.) Capric acid is the fastest and most effective killer of all three strains of candida, as it goes directly to the plasma membrane of the target cell, disintegrating it almost instantly. Lauric acid is even more unique: unlike other saturated fats, it's not made in the liver. There are only two significant dietary sources for lauric acid: breast milk and coconut oil.

Wow! I buy coconut oil body lotion mainly because of the smell. But will definitely be buying it a lot more now that I know how good it is.

I saute veggies with it, use it in my hair and as a moisturizer. Love love love it!

(I DON'T eat it straight though. Last summer I had my mind set on taking 1 TBSP by mouth per day, but after one dose, got horribly sick.)
