Dr. Bruce Fife, a naturopathic doctor and the author of books like “Coconut Cures” and “The Coconut Miracle” referred to coconut oil as the healthiest oil on earth. This is because of the wide range of diseases that it can heal and the numerous benefits it can do to our body.

Results of many scientific studies prove this statement thereby destroying the notion that coconut oil increases cholesterol levels and is therefore unhealthy. Clinical studies have shown that coconut oil has anti-microbial and anti-viral properties, giving hope even for AIDS patients.

Kabara, Ph.D (Professor Emeritus, Michigan State University) said this about lauric oils.
