Coconut oil is the bomb! The following are several reasons why this oil is one of Dr. Emily's favorites!!

1. Lauric acid - out of only 3 known dietary sources of this, coconut oil is the most concentrated.

2. Fuels your metabolism with regular use.

3. Boosts thyroid function.

4. Protects and beautifies the skin!

5. Saves your brain! - coconut oil contain MCT's (medium chain triglycerides), which help your body produce ketones, an alternative energy source for the brain and essential in prevention of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and MS.

6. Cancer fighter! - Ketones as an alternative energy source "starve" cancer cells.

7. Natural detoxifier!

8. Heart health (can protect and prevent use of statins or cholesterol lowering drugs)!

9. Keeps the body's natural yeast in check.

(It also can be used as a natural teeth whitener)!
