In todays world of highly competitive product advertising, we have been brainwashed to believe that fat is a bad word. For millenia populations have survived on butter, olive oil, lards, marine oils and coconut and palm oils.

Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids help to increase metabolism and are more easily digested than fats found in other oils.

Coconut Oil & Candida
Research now shows that the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil kill candida. Caprylic acid, well known for its anti candida properties, is one of the fatty acids found in coconut oil. Two other medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil have also been found to kill candida.
A study done at the University of Iceland showed that "capric acid, a 10-carbon saturated fatty acid, causes the fastest and most effective killing of all three strains of Candida albicans tested, leaving the cytoplasm disorganized and shrunken because of a disrupted or disintegrated plasma membrane. Lauric acid, a 12-carbon saturated fatty acid, was the most active at lower concentrations and after a longer incubation time." This study shows great promise that all the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil work together to kill Candida albicans.
