I once got into a knock-down drag- out with my two brothers at a sushi dinner when they doubted me after I told them that during WWII when the supplies of blood were low, coconut water was placed directly into the veins of soldiers. My father who was a corpsman in the Navy backed me up saying it was used as a blood-volumnizer and re-hydrater. They were still skeptical so I found this link...actually here are a couple of links with info on Coconut oil, milk and water. #1)"Nearly 50% of the fatty acid in natural coconut oil is lauric acid, which converts to the fatty acid monolaurin in the body. Monolaurin has adverse effects on a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, yeast, fungi, and enveloped viruses." "Lauric acid is a main component of human breast milk and helps protect children from illness during infancy." "Capric acid, which comprises another 7% of coconut oil fat content, also stimulates anti-microbial activity" "Coconut oil is a "functional food," defined as a food that "provides a health benefit over and beyond the basic nutrients."(See endnote 5.) It is an immune-system enhancer" http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/features/cocgood.html (there are also links at the top of the page for recipes :) ********************************************************************************************************************************* #2) Coconut oil improves the immune system's anti-inflammatory response....always a good thing! "recently published research has shown that natural coconut fat in the diet leads to a normalization of body lipids, protects against alcohol damage to the liver, and improves the immune system’s anti-inflammatory response.

I used it this am to make my protein shake instead of milk (added some water because it was pretty thick). Its pretty much sweet, sweet, sweet, but great in a shake.

Here are a couple of links that may interest you. The first one, from Weston Price Foundation, is long and you'll need to go down quite a ways to Items IV & V to get to the antibacterial/vrial explanation. Very interesting. The second one is self explanatory. http://www.westonaprice.org/A-New-Look-at-Coconut-Oil.html http://www.usnews.com/health/managing-your-healthcare/treatment/articles/2008/10/30/coconut-oil-may-help-fight-childhood-pneumonia.html Coconut oil…..My favorite also!!!!
