Coconut able is able to substantially reduce cancer cells but protect healthy cells.

Including coconut fats / extracts in the diet of animals almost completely prevented skin tumors. It drastically increased the antioxidant levels in various tissues, and has direct tumor suppressing properties. It's shown this property in oral and liver cancers as well. oh wow! Animals stay remarkably lean simply by swapping out a chunk of their seed oils for coconut oil , despite eating the same amount of calories.

Coconut oil prevents obesity. Adding small amounts of coconut oil:

Stopped fat gain
Increased metabolic rate, body temperature
Reversed insulin resistance in animals fed a fattening diet.

Adding 2 tbsp of coconut oil to the diet was able to reduce waist circumference. The unique fats coconut oil is rich in:

Get absorbed rapidly
Get burned rapidly for fuel
Do not get deposited as fatNo other fat has this ability.

Coconut oil reverses brain damage from Alzheimer's plaque.

Improved cell survival
Retained mitochondrial structure
Bolstered energy production In neurons exposed to the amyloid plaque. It is remarkably protective for the brain. Just a few tsp of coconut oil per day improved multiple metrics of memory in even severe Alzheimer's disease. The medium chain fats in coconut oil are a rapid energy producing fuel source for the brain.

Coconut oil fats multiply mitochondria.C10 found mainly in coconut oil enhances mitochondrial energy production AND number. It enhances the brain energy production.

Coconut oil reverses depression.Virgin coconut oil (VCO):

Prevents neuroinflammation
Alleviates death of neurons
Reverses depressive symptoms in animals with endotoxemia (LPS) (gut bacterial toxicity), through its incredible pro-mitochondrial properties.

Coconut oil for seizures.The keto diet has long been known to help in epilepsy, but it has recently been shown that it is the medium chain fats that protect against seizures, not as much the ketones.

Coconut oil for neurogenesis.A recent study showed that not only did coconut oil improve insulin resistance, it increased the levels of BDNF, the primary protein responsible for repairing and growing brain cells.

Coconut oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties.Caprylic acid from coconut oil is highly effective against several pathogenic bacteria and even yeast like Candida.

Coconut oil robustly lowers gut inflammation.1-2 tsp equivalent dose, coconut oil reversed IBD disease activity, healed the structure of the gut, lowered:

IL-6
NO
TNFα
MPO all key components of human gut inflammation.

Coconut oil is an alternative to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

Stopped stomach ulcers
Increased the mucus of the stomach lining
Enhanced production of healing prostaglandins
Stopped the stress-induced hyper-secretion of acid Could be good for reflux.

Coconut oil is excellent for cavity prevention.Rinsing with it for 10 min reduced the amount of S. Mutants (primary cavity-causing bacteria) as well as the "gold standard" antiseptic mouthwash.

Coconut oil is incredible for the skin.Applying 5 ml of coconut oil 2x daily to the effected areas reduced eczema rating by nearly 69% by:

Increasing skin hydration
Calming inflammation
Bolstering antioxidant status in the skin

Coconut oil is a male sexual health Godsend.

REVERSES testicular damage
Improves sperm motility
Bolsters testicular antioxidant status

What makes coconut oil special is the medium chain fats. Unlike most calories, these get RAPIDLY + EASILY turned into energy. They also are able to fuel the brain (other fats can't). Thus, it serves as a quick, efficient energy source that isn't liable to be stored.
