Coconut OilVirgin COCONUT OIL is the delicious, nutritious oil from the coconut. It is heart healthy, boosts metabolism, and is a natural broad-spectrum antimicrobial. It offers a delicate, tropical flavor that is tasty when used in salads, and goes well with most fruits. It is delicious all by itself, yet it is a particularly excellent cooking oil, as it withstands heat and powerfully resists oxidation. Try it in place of your favorite cooking oil. Or put it directly on fresh berries, banana, pineapple (or any tropical fruits), chia seeds, and even on air-popped popcorn. There are unlimited uses for it when preparing healthy meals in the kitchen!

COCONUT OIL is a superb massage lotion, as it both nourishes skin and does not easily go rancid (and is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal).

For all these reasons and more, COCONUT OIL is considered a miracle food. Discover what Pacific Islanders have long known...the healthful benefits of this great-tasting natural oil from coconuts!

COCONUT OIL is extracted from fresh, wet-milled coconut milk. It retains a distinct coconut flavor and aroma. This oil is clear and colorless in the liquid state and an immaculate white when solid. No chemicals or heat are used in any stage of the process. We obtain this wonderful coconut oil from Wilderness Family Naturals.

HOW WILDERNESS FAMILY NATURALS CERTIFIED
ORGANIC CENTRIFUGED COCONUT OIL IS MADE

Wilderness Family Naturals Centrifuged Coconut Oil is USDA Certified Organic by Integrity Certified International.  It is made from fresh coconuts opened less than 48 hours after they are picked from the trees. They first shell the coconuts and then chop the flesh, placing it in an expeller press. The temperatures of the coconut flesh and the resulting coconut milk emulsion do not exceed 25° C or 78.8° F (room temperature). Once the coconut is shelled, it takes less than 45 minutes to produce the milk. The resulting coconut milk emulsion is then chilled slightly to 10° C (50° F) so that the oil will "pull out of solution." In other words, the chilling helps to break the protein emulsion that holds the oils in solution. Next, the cooled milk, by use of a large centrifuge, is separated into the pure oil that we sell here and a "skim" coconut milk. This method of extraction requires no heat at all. It works like a cream separator that is used for separating cream from cow's milk. It requires quite a few passes through this chilled centrifuge to obtain pure oil, but the resulting oil is absolutely fabulous.

INGREDIENTS: Centrifuged Organic Coconut Oil. Wilderness Family Naturals Centrifuged Virgin Coconut Oil is USDA Certified Organic. It is certified organic by Integrity Certified International.

LAURIC ACID

One thing that distinguishes this coconut oil from other virgin coconut oils is its high lauric acid content. Lauric acid is a fatty acid with 12 carbons in it, and its been the subject of much research in recent years. It is the major medium chain fat that has been studied by the National Institute of Health, Medical Doctors and Ph.D.'s doing medical research. It is the lauric acid that becomes 2-monolauren in the gut. Most coconut oils contain 46-49% lauric acid, although some coconut oils test out as low as 42%. Wilderness Family Naturals special centrifuged oil, unlike all the others, contains a whopping 57% lauric acid!! Additionally, this coconut oil is higher in medium chain fatty acids than any other coconut oil evaluated, and it contains virtually no polyunsaturated fats.

COCONUT OIL AND HEART HEALTH

We've heard that people sometimes avoid oconut oil (and other tropical oils) because of warnings about saturated fat.  If you're one of these people, you may not have heard that recent scientific evidence separates natural, unrefined saturated oils from hydrogenated trans fatty acids.  Long term epidemiological studies on communities who derive large portions of their calories from saturated fat from coconuts and coconut oils show no evidence of an increase in heart disease or any unfavorable cholesterol balance.  These populations enjoy much lower rates of cardiovascular disease than we do in the United States, even though they consume large amounts of saturated fat and medium chain triglycerides from coconut oil. However, they consume little to no trans fatty acids from hydrogenated oils.

The FDA and the US Department of Health estimate that artificially hydrogenated trans fats, the type found in fast food, processed junk foods and pastries cause hundreds of fatal heart attacks every year. These are the dangerous saturated fatty acids that we should be limiting in Wilderness Family Naturals diet, not naturally pure, healthy coconut oil. There are no studies which show that non-hydrogenated coconut oil contributes to heart disease. In fact epidemiological studies seem to indicate the opposite.

Only animal foods contain cholesterol, and coconut oil is a naturally cholesterol free food.  Scientists have studied the effects of coconut oil consumption on different types of cholesterol and blood lipids. Consumption of the recommended serving size of coconut oil along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, helps maintain normal levels of cholesterol.† Read more on coconut oil and health related issues here.

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are commonly used in special nutrition formulas created for hospitalized patients. The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil are much different than the long-chain fatty acids found in seed oils. This difference affects how the body utilizes the oil.  Because of the ease in how MCTs are digested and metabolized, this oil can be used even when people have compromised digestive systems.

WEIGHT LOSS AND COCONUT OIL

In the United States 55% of the population is overweight. One in 4 adults is considered obese.  The former recommendation to simply restrict fat has been discredited by most recent nutritional and obesity research, and by the syrocketing obesity rates among a fat conscious nation.

Coconut oil is a healthy source of MCTs, which the body readily absorbs and converts to energy.  MCTs found in coconut oil support healthy thermogenesis levels. Coconut oil is also ideal for people on low carbohydrate diets.
