The Benefits of Saturated Fats
Most of the fats in the diet of our forefathers were saturated fats. This is also true of many traditional cultures. Tropical diets, for example, get much of their fats from coconuts and palm oil, which are rich in saturated fats. As we have seen with our experience in the Philippines, these traditional cultures have not had the obesity and health problems that we are seeing today in our culture, even though they had a diet high in saturated fats.
For the past 20 years I have been affected by a chronic illness which creates a susceptibility to opportunistic imbalances like candida. It's been 5 years that I have really been struggling with this (though the imbalance was established long before that). I read that taking Garden of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (GLEVCO) could help with a candida imbalance and it really has. Of course, I did experience the dread die-off when I began the (GLEVCO March '06), which is not pleasant, but I know of nothing that works to balance this situation without creating a die-off. I began using the coconut oil at 1 tsp the first day and increased by 1 tsp each day until I was taking 1 tbls with each meal (3x/day). I have also used the coconut oil to make suppositories with essential oils. This, too, has been very helpful. In addition, I am using well chosen super-strain probiotics, enzymes, and nearly impeccable eating habits. Subduing a candida overgrowth can be very costly. GLEVCO is one of the more affordable tools I've come across and it's a great addition to my curry recipes and the morning oatmeal (with cardomon, cinnamon and coriander). If it can make the difference for me that it does now, I imagine that had I found this 5, 10 years ago the candida would never have gotten so out of hand. I recommend to anyone who is dealing with candida overgrowth that they read about this product and seriously consider employing it. Allison W. Atlanta, Georgia
