Chapter 5 - Healthy Oils and Coconut Oil
|
There
are some very good organic expeller pressed oils, like olive and
flaxseed oils, but the problem with these oils is that they go through
a dangerous chemical change with high heat. Once this happens, they
become rancid and cause serious damage in the body. These oils are fine
uncooked, as in salad dressing, but are not good oils for baking and
frying.
This is why coconut oil is such an important addition to our diets. It
takes high heat well, making it the best cooking oil. It retains its
nutritional value even after cooking. Because it is a saturated fat, it
is very stable and can remain at room temperature, without going
rancid, for well over a year.
Coconut
oil is a staple in traditional tropical diets. It is found in the meat
of the coconut fruit. Tropical people all over the world have used it
in many ways. Coconut, coconut water, coconut milk or coconut oil was
used in most of their cooking.
The coconut and its products were so widely consumed by tropical people
that it is estimated that up to 60% of their caloric intake was from
the saturated fat of coconut oil, according to a study done in the
1960’s. The people they studied were lean and healthy, and free from
modern diseases. And according to a study in 1981, when pacific
islanders moved to New Zealand, and lowered their coconut oil intake,
their levels of bad cholesterol increased.
A modern study done in 1998 by a hospital in India, compared
traditional cooking oils and fats (coconut oil and ghee or clarified
butter) to modern polyunsaturated vegetable oils. They found that
the incidence of heart disease and diabetes actually increased when
people switched to these modern vegetable oils from the traditional
oils. Other studies in coconut eating countries show that when these
people switched to vegetable oils and cut their consumption of coconut
oil, the occurrences of heart disease and obesity increased
accordingly. The frightening fact is that even though there are many
studies that show us how good saturated fats can be, we are still
taught to stay on a low fat diet.
