Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil
I am excited about this tasty, healthy giveaway! Tropical Traditions is giving away one quart (32 ounces) Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!
It has been discovered that coconut oil in it’s non-hydrogenated state is an extremely nutritious food with a myriad of health benefits.
It smells good, it tastes good, and has a veritable laundry list of uses!
I was surprised to learn that besides virgin coconut oil, the only other source of lauric acid is mother’s milk. Virgin coconut oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids, and wouldn’t you know? It is an ingredient in baby formula!
Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil can be applied topically for healthy hair and skin. The most luxurious of conditioners and soaps contain coconut oil. Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil contains proteins that actually nourish damaged hair and dry skin.
I was confused about the health benefits at first because I was told for years that coconut oil was bad for me. Apparently the “bad for you” coconut oil is the HYDROGENATED version (the kind that looks yellow and gross from chemical processing). Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is white (like coconut!) and is actually one of the lowest calorie oils! That means by replacing your cooking oils with Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, you are actually saving calories. I read that coconut oil is a favorite of athletes for this reason.
I became very intrigued and spent a couple of hours on a Google search about the benefits of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, and this is one almost comprehensive list that I found:
- # Reduces risk of atherosclerosis, heart disease and related illnesses.
# Reduces risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions.
# Helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal (including yeast) infections.
# Supports immune system function.
# Helps prevent osteoporosis.
# Helps control diabetes.
# Promotes weight loss.
# Supports healthy metabolic function.
# Provides an immediate source of energy.
# Supplies fewer calories than other fats.
# Supplies important nutrients necessary for good health.
# Improves digestion and nutrient absorption.
# Has a mild delicate flavor.
# Is highly resistant to spoilage (long shelf life).
# Is heat resistant (the healthiest oil for cooking).
# Helps keep skin soft and smooth.
# Helps prevent premature aging and wrinkling of the skin.
# Helps protect against skin cancer and other blemishes.
# Functions as a protective antioxidant.
# Does not contain cholesterol.
# Does not increase blood cholesterol level.
# Does not promote platelet stickiness that leads to blood clot formation.
# Does not contribute to atherosclerosis or heart disease.
# Does not promote cancer or any other degenerative disease.
# Does not contribute to weight problems.
That just makes me all fired up to eat more Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil! You might not recognize me after all of these benefits start manifesting themselves!

Coconut oil does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. Virgin Coconut oil is very stable since it is unrefined and mostly saturated. The expiration dates on our Virgin Coconut Oils are for two years, and on our Expeller-pressed coconut oils they are 18 months, but they will usually be fine much longer than the expiration dates.

I have been using coconut oil in my hair for a bit now. It has changed how the texture of the hair feels. Before it sort of felt like straw. I believe the natural qualities help in this.
Also coco nut oil also helps as a natural retardant for hair and scalp issues.

I learned that “Chemicals and high heating are not used in further refining, since the natural, pure coconut oil is very stable with a shelf life of several years.”
24 May 2009, 8:43 pm
I copied and pasted since the Q&A was so long:
“1. What is “Expeller-Pressed” Coconut Oil (EPCO)?
Tropical Traditions Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil is a high quality refined organic coconut oil. This oil is processed the “old” way by what is called “physical refining.” The modern way of processing coconut oil is by chemical extraction, using solvent extracts, which produces higher yields and is quicker and less expensive. Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil DOES NOT use chemicals or solvent extracts. It is made the “old” way by expeller-pressed mechanical extraction. This oil is also NOT hydrogenated, and contains NO trans fatty acids. It is a very good quality food-grade coconut oil.”
Thanks.

I have read about this coconut oil before and have wanted to get some, but the one new thing that I learned today is that they use the water from the coconut itself instead of plain water to process the oil. Thank you for the contest to maybe win some.

The meat of the coconut is usually referred to as fruit, and the coconut itself is the nut, or seed, that will reproduce into a coconut palm tree if allowed to sprout and grow, and the oil made from coconuts is classified as a “vegetable oil” in terms of commodity trading.

I was happy to learn more about this versatil oil. A young woman that works at a local restaurant told me about the properties of coconut oil as she used it for good health. She talked like it was hard for her to find locally so it is good to know about this source for quality coconut oil! Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

at first i didn’t understand what the heck you are supposed to do with it but then i read the FAQ and it says that you can use it as a cooking oil or replace butter with it, you can also freeze it, put it in smoothies, put it in coffee or tea or just eat it. I’m still kind of confused but that helps,

‘Helps control diabetes.’ Now that is something I was not aware of that has REAL meaning!

I learned that the average adult that includes about 3.5 tablespoons of coconut oil per day in their diet would take in an equivalent amount of lauric acid that a nursing infant would receive from breast milk.

I learned the oil is good for diabetes and weight loss, things that I am trying to control. I have been intrigued about the benefits of coconut oil but I am too skeptical to pay that amount. I would like to win so I can give it a try before I buy.
30 May 2009, 4:44 pm
Still trying for this, actually just bought some, but wouldn’t mind a win to extend it a bit a give it a good test

As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.

Coconut oil is liquid above 75 degrees F. (25 C.), and below that it will be a solid fat. It can be stored in either form, and it can be liquefied easily by applying low level heat.

I was happy to learn that coconut oil boosts the immune system. I have systemic lupus with overlap syndromes of M.S., R.A. and myasthenia gravis. I’m glad that Tropical Traditions for the Gold Label uses organic coconuts that are amongst the most nutritionally rich in the world. Hope I win. I’d love to see if I noticed improvement using the oil.
