Not all unsaturated fats are good for the heart or brain. Coconut oil is saturated and it is good for both.

One of the most widely published reports on coconut oil was from Dr. Mary Newport as reported by the St. Petersburg Times on October 29, 2008. Dr. Newport’s husband was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s and was quickly deteriorating. She gave him Virgin Coconut Oil, and saw incredible improvement in his condition:

“The coconut oil he’d ingested seemed to “lift the fog.” He began taking coconut oil every day, and by the fifth day, there was a tremendous improvement. “He would face the day bubbly, more like his old self,” his wife said. More than five months later, his tremors have subsided, the visual disturbances that prevented him from reading have disappeared, and he has become more social and interested in those around him.”
