Coconut oil is has now become recognised as a super food. It is full of medium chain fatty acids (MCTs), which have now been shown to undeniably promote health, support brain function, and also improve body composition.

Even though coconut oil is 92 percent saturated fat, it won't elevate cholesterol levels..No matter what wives tale you listen to.

Recent studies have shown that eating 30ml of coconut oil with each meal for a month leads to a little body fat loss and reduced waist circumference.

DVCC Tip: Make sure that the coconut oil you buy is "virgin" and not partially hydrogenated. Then use it for cooking, in your coffee, in warm water when you first wake up. It is ideal for cooking as it can withstand very high temperatures and keep its properties.
