  • Coconut Oil Benefits: the Incredible Power of Coconut Oil
    Coconut Oil Benefits: The Incredible Power of Coconut Oil By Ty Bollinger 84,192 Total Views | 29,747 Facebook Shares In the 1960’s, food manufacturers wanted consumers to buy their margarines and hydrogenated oils. To do that, they had to “discredit” the products people had always used in their homes to prepare their food. Olive oil, coconut oil, and lard were no longer “good for you,” they said. The marketing campaign for their synthetic products began and coconut oil was portrayed as an artery-clogging and cholesterol-raising substance. People were told that it contained too much saturated fat and contributed to heart attacks. Flash forward four decades later. In the midst of an obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer explosion, scientists discover that it is not healthy fats found in coconut oil and other natural products that are bad for you. It is the very goods the food manufacturers had been pushing on their consumers for thirty years. The trans-fats contained in these “fake foods” were incredibly dangerous to your entire body. High fat, high sugar, and high carb diets were put under the microscope and found guilty. Over-processed, pre-made synthetic foods filled with additives, preservatives, dyes, and high levels of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other unnatural fillers were found to be the true culprits of the Western world’s health decline. After all these years, coconut oil is getting the positive scientific attention it deserves. There’s a reason cultures around the world have been using it for thousands of years. The benefits of coconut oil have filled entire books.

This is a simple and cost ef- ficient method which has been used for decades and advised for overall maintenance of oral hygiene. However, there have been contradicting results regarding the efficacy of oil pulling on tooth whitening in previous studies. In this study, natural teeth (premolar teeth) were collected and divided into four groups and preserved in different mediums for 24 hours for a period of seven days to study the effects on hard tissue enamel. The teeth were observed every 24 hours and the difference in tooth whitening was compared using a tooth shade guide and evaluated for observable changes in colour.

  • Edible Oils As Practical Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
    applied sciences Article Edible Oils as Practical Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage Samer Kahwaji 1 and Mary Anne White 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, B3H 4R2, Canada; [email protected] 2 Clean Technologies Research Institute, Dalhousie University, Halifax, B3H 4R2, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 February 2019; Accepted: 17 April 2019; Published: 19 April 2019 Featured Application: Passive thermal management of residential greenhouses. Abstract: Edible oils could provide more accessible alternatives to other phase change materials (PCMs) for consumers who wish to build a thermal energy storage (TES) system with sustainable materials. Edible oils have good shelf life, can be acquired easily from local stores and can be less expensive than other PCMs. In this work, we explore whether margarine, vegetable shortening, and coconut oil are feasible PCMs, by investigations of their thermal properties and thermal stability. We found that margarine and vegetable shortening are not useful for TES due to their low latent heat of fusion, DfusH, and poor thermal stability. In contrast, coconut oil remained thermally stable after 200 melt-freeze cycles, and has a large D H of 105 11 J g 1, a low degree of supercooling fus ± − and a transition temperature, Tmpt = 24.5 1.5 C, that makes it very useful for TES in buildings. ± ◦ We also determined coconut oil’s heat capacity and thermal conductivity as functions of temperature and used the measured properties to evaluate the feasibility of coconut oil for thermal buffering and passive heating of a residential-scale greenhouse. Keywords: phase change material (PCM); passive thermal management; thermal properties; coconut oil; margarine 1.

  • The Scoop on Coconut Oil Coconut Oil Is an Edible Oil Extracted from the “Meat” of Matured Coconuts
    Family and Consumer Science/Extension Homemakers Club May/June 2016 The Scoop on Coconut Oil Coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the “meat” of matured coconuts. It has several appli- cations in the food industry. It is used in processed foods because it is relatively inexpensive and can provide crisp texture to foods. Coconut oil has a high smoke point, the temperature where it starts to break down, which makes it shelf stable and ideal for foods that need a longer shelf-life. Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated coconut oil are found in cereals, baked goods, biscuits, salty snacks, soaps, cosmetics and moisturizers. According to some health food promoters and celebrity doctors, coconut oil is the latest miracle food, claiming it can cure everything from heart disease to obesity and cancer. However, the ef- fects of coconut oil on health have not been well studied. These health claims tend to be based more on personal testimonials than on scientific evidence. In fact, there are very few studies in people showing benefits of coconut oil – most of these studies are epidemiology studies (e.g., population studies) that show a link between high coconut-consuming countries and longevity [1 -2]. Coconut oil is considered a saturated fat and contains 9 calories per gram. There are two basic types of fats – saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated fats are healthy fats and include plant- based fats (such as vegetable oils and fats found in nuts, avocados and seeds) and fish oils. These fats should be the primary fats in your diet because they either do not affect cholesterol levels or they raise HDL (good) cholesterol without raising LDL (bad) cholesterol.

  • The Truth About Coconut Oil ( by Kathleen M
    The Truth About Coconut Oil (http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/coconut-oil-and-health) By Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, WebMD Expert Column Coconut oil, according to recent reports, is the latest food cure-all. Claims abound that coconut oil is a health food that can cure everything from poor immune function, thyroid disease, and heart disease, to obesity, cancer, and HIV. So should you stock up on coconut oil? Not so fast. The evidence that coconut oil is super-healthful is not convincing and these claims appear to be more testimonials than clinical evidence. There is very limited evidence on disease outcomes, says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health. "All that has been studied well is the impact of coconut oil on cholesterol levels and the findings are intriguing but we still don't know if it is harmful or beneficial," Mozaffarian says. Neither the American Heart Association (AHA) nor the U.S. government's 2010 Dietary Guidelines suggest that coconut oil is any better or preferable over other saturated fats. Coconut oil, like all saturated fats, should be limited to 7%-10% of calories because it can increase risk for heart disease, according to the AHA and 2010 Dietary Guidelines. What Is Coconut Oil? Pure virgin coconut oil, containing no hydrogenation (the process of adding hydrogen to make a liquid fat hard), contains 92% saturated fat -- the highest amount of saturated fat of any fat. Most saturated fats are solid at room temperature, found in animal products (such as meat, dairy, poultry with skin, and beef fat) and contain cholesterol.
