http://foods4healing.com/ Coconut and coconut oils as excellent food sources have finally triumphed over decades of (purposeful?) misinformation and "scare tactics". Without getting into the perhaps unfortunate politics of it all, suffice to say that large companies with deep pockets used their influences to quash knowledge of coconut's benefits in favor of promoting their "own" preferred oils. Huge marketing campaigns in the late 1950's into the 1960's funded by the soy bean and corn industries, and supported by the American Heart Association, took aim at changing the typical American Diet. One such change called on Americans to substitute naturally occurring saturated fats for polyunsaturated and laboratory produced trans fats. These are much cheaper to produce. Years of propaganda against all saturated fats ensued. And look at what has happened since. Worldwide heart disease is on the increase and obesity, linked to this "new" American diet is a major problem. For more information on Coconut and Coconut Oil please visit: http://foods4healing.com
