I live in southern part of Indian state named, Kerala (meaning land of coconuts). We use coconut for everything like cooking oil, to make fish curries, deserts and in almost every dish. Interestingly we have the highest life expectancy in whole of India
I put my coco oil in the fridge so it turned into a solid. I scoop it out and eat it straight up, its almost better than chocolate b/c its texture is sooo rich, or I cook with it, in smoothies, its so versatile. Long live the mighty coconut and its wonderful oil!
Since teenage years i have had burning and sensitivities in my private areas, lots of issues and discomfort. I have used all the creams and pills doctors have given me, which actually made it worse eventually... 3 months ago I began using coconut oil on my body and my private are and .. i have NOT felt any burning or pain AT ALL! I am in awe, honestly SO HAPPY!!!! I have had this pain for over a decade and all I needed was this beautiful seed to heal me completely! I use it 3-4 times a week, everywhere except the face. Also noticed that my skin is softer and super smooth :D All those stupid pills and creams are in the bin, I cannot trust doctors anymore. OH, also, I take probiotics. Candida GONE ladies! :)
I have added coconut oil in my diet and MCT oil for the past month and I've lost 20 pounds, without even exercising, and before it was impossible because I'm hypothyroid.

My everyday breakfast recipe: 1/4 cup oatmeal, add 2cups water, soaked overnight, boil the oats the next morning, add 2 cups homemade almond milk, heat it up, add 1tbsp. coconut oil, 1/2 tsp. powdered avocado seeds (homemade) and 40 g. 90% black chocolate whipped into the oatmeal. Nordic walking for 90 minutes in the woods. Am not hungry till lunchtime. I use coconut oil for cleansing at night and morning, apply mask with coconut oil and moringa powder.

I don’t know if any body here knows right now two states in India people with diabetes and obesity are following a diet based on ketosis and a lot of people reversed their diabetes and most or almost all of them used coconut oil from local farmers milled on the field.
it's hard to know what is what sometimes considering the amount of effort by conventional medicine to villanize coconut oil...I must say that I believe Dr. Berg and his info...complete trust bc I'm seeing results. ..ty Dr Berg...you da best!
My dad is from India and they use it for everything. Including a hair product. All my uncles and dad have thick hair and they say it’s from all the coconut oil my grandma would put in when they were kids.
Dr Berg, your information on coconut oil is greatly appreciated. I come from a coconut producing country in South Pacific and we used coconut oil for all of our cooking, cosmetics etc. We also used coconut milk and cream, nothing bad happened, however the coconut oil was home made and cold extracted. I still use extra virgin coconut oil.
Thank you, Dr Berg for educating others on a healthy diet and lifestyle! I have a huge jar (organic) in my kitchen and is a daily staple! I also have a smaller jar on my nightstand to use as a moisturizer, for dry skin. There are endless benefits topically, and internally. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Coconut in demand, it will save Kerala farmers, back to the old days. The quality of Coconut in Kerala is number one. I cannot find the same in other places.
I love coconut oil! Great video! Some may not notice that there is coconut oil for hair as well as edible coconut oil. While you can use edible coconut oil on hair and skin, the reverse is sometimes not recommended as there may be non-edible additives and food packaging guidelines differ.
@@juliemaggard7094 hi, you can leave it from 30 mins to overnight but nothing wrong in leaving more than that. Its not hard to wash but you might need to shampoo your hair couple of times.
@@juliemaggard7094 Every day from birth, my family and I've been using coconut oil; we make our own oil. It's easy to wash from your hair, use soap or shampoo only once, rinse well, and your hair is clean, soft and lovely!
Just scoop some out of the jar, rub your hands together and it will turn to liquid. Slather it on your face, body and hair. Sleep in it, shower in the morning and your skin and hair will be SUPER soft! I do it regularly. GREAT stuff!!
How about for the heart? I have a pacemaker defibrillator. I told dr i was doing MCT oil and she suggested olive oil may be better. Any opinions?? Thanks
Thanks to not make me upset since I consume so so much oils such as coconut oil olive oils.... I can't know exactly how much coconut oil I consume per day .... Just say so so much .... I use it in coffee salad cooking and even taking directly after foods .... I love oils since I was little .... I don't know it will be bad for me one day or not but I'm very fit for now and really healthy
Coconut oil is awesome but it seems to be breaking me out which isn't particularly hard to do. Being comedogenic, it can block pores pretty thoroughly for some but I didn't know this may be an issue when ingested as well.
I shouldn’t think so.. but directly on skin is a no no for me, as I have fairly oily skin.. I’ve used it to do the cleansing method, with castor oil.. it really clears the skin but then I also worrry I’ve I’m clogging the skin.. so I stopped .. it really did cleanse deeply.. I could be wrong if it’s removed carefully
I'm from coastal India ...coconut oil is our staple ...then "research" gave it a bad rep ... Now "research" again says it's good .. Traditional native oils eaten in the way our grandparents ate(in small quantities..no deep frying) is always good ...
What is the difference between using MCT oil, or just consuming cold pressed, organic coconut oil?? I usually use coconut oil in my coffee, and sometimes mix it with almond butter.
I dont need to eat for a long while after usiing coconut oil so that causes me to not enter a calorie surplus. Which I think is better for the heart. To not get fat.
I'm south Indian , here fish is fried in coconut oil and it's delicious. I prefer fish fry over fish curry always. Spicy Fish fry with red unpolished rice is heaven on earth !
My package of organic unsweetened gluten free shredded coconut claims to have 400 mg of potassium in a 2-tablespoon serving. That means as little as 1 and 1/2 cups of shredded coconut will get you to the 4700mg of potassium you need daily. That's a remarkably dense source of potassium.
Hi Dr. Berg. Thank you so much for doing another video on the amazing coconut oil. I heard Dr. Bruce Fife say that coconut oil lowers your blood sugars when you consume it after a meal and that it can even lower the glycemic index of anything you eat by simply adding coconut oil to it. Is this true? Does this also mean that coconut oil can fix insulin resistance and increase your insulin sensitivity? I also read somewhere that coconut oil does not spike your insulin. Could you confirm all this? Thank you very much! Greetings from the Netherlands.
If I add in Sri Lanka literally over 2500 yrs down generations using coconut oil Raw coconut Adding coconut milk to everyday cooking .... Mostly our older generations lived healthier longer life
Yes, coconut oil is a very healthy option for your diet. Unsweetened coconut milk is low in carbohydrates and high in fat, making it an excellent choice on a ketogenic diet.
Those who call coconut oil a poison are either ignorants or foolish to the core. In southern part of India, majority of people and especially the people in the state of Kerala, use coconut oil to prepare their food and use it on their skin and skull to massage their hair. And these people are one of the most intelligent race on this planet. There is 100% literacy rate in Kerala. People are beautiful, educated and very intelligent. They use coconut 🌴 🥥 fruit and its oil in abundance. It is a very healthy oil, both for body and brains 🧠.
Dr. Berg what about MCT oil vs Coconut oil? I read this article that suggest the marketing of MCT oil is hype and Coconut oil is not only cheaper but better for you then the highly marketed MCT oil. Thanks !
Dr. Berg, Thank you for your videos! You have helped me lose over 70 lbs. I just had blood work done (re-rated my life insurance and saved $20/mo.) It came back with high bilirubin, this looks related to the liver. Do you think I have something to worry about or is this a situation that is normal in ketosis? Thanks again!
In India, the changeover to refined oils from coconut oil and ghee has resulted in India having the highest diabestes and heart disease rates in the world. Of course there is no study which proves this but still this is an interesting observation
I know that virgin is best, but I wasn't paying enough attention when I bought my most recent coconut oil. It is still organic but it is not virgin. Instead it is expeller pressed. Is this still beneficial? I didn't notice until I got two large jars.
Hello dr berg ive seen many of ur videos on coconut oil and am a big fan could u please tell us about eating coconut Instead of the oil will it have the same benefits as using oil In my country coconut oil is not available if it is its not pure if i eat a slice of raw white coconut Will it be the same please make a video thanks
so if one is avoiding SEED oils at any costs, then coconut oil is not even an option. One would have to get those benefits some other way. Correct me if Im off.
It's a pity Dr berg never seems to respond to the many questions asked on here.... Thank you to all those who have responded to questions asked. It's appreciated.
@@nancyfahey7518 Thank you for responding, Nancy. Apologies, I failed to notice this video was only four hours old. It's good to know that the comments are read by Dr. Berg and I understand that it must be hard to respond when there are so many. Thank you for explaining. :o)
3 years later, I don't actually use it for cooking but I do use it on my skin. Having psoriasis after applying on my patchy spots it usually clears up within 24 hours. Nothing else seems to help/work, I may start having it with my coffee in the morning.
Dr. Berg, I see someone asked the same question I have. I am starting my intermittent fasting and keto diet. So q1. Does adding a Tbs to black coffee break my fast? 2. How much coconut oil should I consume daily? I know each person is different...just a ballpark please
What is the different between coconut oil & MCT oil? I use coconut oil everyday for my salad dressing. It smells good. I never try mct oil before. When you buy MCT oil, what are you looking for in the ingredient to know that is high quality?
Coconut oil contains mct oil but in small amounts. Mct oil which is readily available is a much higher concentrate and is used specifically as a hunger suppressant and yes you guessed it! Energy!
Huy Nguyen Coconut oil is an MCT oil. MCT stands for “medium chain triglycerides”. You don’t need to buy an oil marketed as “MCT Oil” because all it is is over priced coconut oil. Make sure when u buy coconut oil it’s organic, cold pressed, not expeller pressed for the best results!
MCT is thinner with no fragrance and no taste. I prefer it myself for all cold dishes but cook with regular coconut oil. Its also VERY expensive. I dont have a gallbladder and found I was being kicked out of ketosis too easily. MCT has helped with the weightloss. To me its a 'miracle food'.😅 But like everything you need to find what works for you.
fukthegoog it’s still coconut oil. They’ve just concentrated the amount of MCT that is naturally found in regular coconut oil. I personally wouldn’t purchase it because it’s unnatural. It’s refined and chemically processed which to me defeats the whole purpose of keto/paleo lifestyle. I personally say just consume high quality all natural coconut oil.
I add Perfect Keto Collagen Powder to my Keto Koffee, which has MCT Powder in it as well. Is adding a teaspoon of Coconut Oil to my KK overkill? Thanks.
Unrefined taste like coconut but sometimes i don't want that taste, so is unrefined equal but without taste. Good news at 71 I've been able to lose 40lbs in 4or 5 months and feel great. -20 carbs is worth it.
Absolutely, Liz! Coconut oils’ benefits are mostly for heart, brain and skin health. One of the incredible things about MCT’s is that they’re immediately absorbed, as Dr. Berg said. If my memory serves me, they bypass the liver and go straight to work. I don’t see the gallbladder being an issue to something so beneficial. Hope I helped!
The thumb rule is eat local. If olive oil is abundant and native, by all means use it. That way you can be assured that it wasn't gmo'd to make it suitable for native soil or didn't go through too much processing to prolong its shelf life while its exported. Coconut is native to us and its easy for us to cold press them and get it fresher and safer than what's been exported to you.
I have changed all oils 2 or more years ago. Now I use only coconut, EVOO and ghee.NO veg oils. But my bloodwork shows high cholesterol. I don’t understand. I stopped the coconut oil…….but now I think the cholesterol is carbs in my diet. So I am adding back in….the coconut oil and being keenly aware of my intake of carbs. I am using some keto foods, etc. I eat pasture eggs daily! Have added in serious high garlic supplements. Sometimes eating garlic raw. Over months I hope these renewed habits will bring my cholesterol down. I refused the statins. Anybody wanna comment?? Ahna
In my country we have coconut for every ceremony whether is death, marriage, childbirth, bought new car or computer and more than dozens of festivals. We don't grow coconut pan india but somehow ancestors managed bring it inland.All of sudden doctors started telling how it's bad for health ,calorie stuff and women of my country got confused now new scientific research telling how beneficial it is. Now on I will trust my traditional ageold practices when comes to diet. Thank you
If we have less activity in life and we always sit on computer and don't do much walk or exercise then coconut oil and cow Ghee and butter is bad ???? shall we stick to olive oil only ?im Asian and our foods are impossible to Cook in olive oil i wanna try coconut
Dr. Berg you need to make a video about NON calcified atherosclerosis. You talk a lot about calcium but this other type of plaque can be dangerous also
Does coconut oil break the intermittent fast? I take about 20ml on empty stomach at 12.30 pm just prior to my eating window.. My question is cn i hv it at 8am.. Or during fasting in the night
I took a table spoon and spread it on keto banana bread to treat Candida in the stomach and mouth , and wow did it work 110% and way quicker than fluctanozole

What is the different between coconut oil & MCT oil? I use coconut oil everyday for my salad dressing. It smells good. I never try mct oil before. When you buy MCT oil, what are you looking for in the ingredient to know that is high quality?
Coconut oil contains mct oil but in small amounts. Mct oil which is readily available is a much higher concentrate and is used specifically as a hunger suppressant and yes you guessed it! Energy!
@fukthegoog true....i use ebay
Huy Nguyen Coconut oil is an MCT oil. MCT stands for “medium chain triglycerides”. You don’t need to buy an oil marketed as “MCT Oil” because all it is is over priced coconut oil. Make sure when u buy coconut oil it’s organic, cold pressed, not expeller pressed for the best results!
MCT is thinner with no fragrance and no taste. I prefer it myself for all cold dishes but cook with regular coconut oil.
Its also VERY expensive.
I dont have a gallbladder and found I was being kicked out of ketosis too easily. MCT has helped with the weightloss. To me its a 'miracle food'.😅 But like everything you need to find what works for you.
fukthegoog it’s still coconut oil. They’ve just concentrated the amount of MCT that is naturally found in regular coconut oil. I personally wouldn’t purchase it because it’s unnatural. It’s refined and chemically processed which to me defeats the whole purpose of keto/paleo lifestyle. I personally say just consume high quality all natural coconut oil.
I add Perfect Keto Collagen Powder to my Keto Koffee, which has MCT Powder in it as well. Is adding a teaspoon of Coconut Oil to my KK overkill? Thanks.
You are right , especially on virus infections. Pre COVID videos emphasizes the importance of immunity 👍👍👍
all viruses come from vaccines. if u want to get rid of that lie u just dont vaccinte, oh and turn off ur phone.
Wonder if I can fry my eggs or bake my bread with coconut oil. What are other good ways to consume it?
Awesome. Ty sir for once again debunking the narrative
coconut oil and scrambled Eggs are insane good
If the American Heart Association is against is... While promoting seed oils. You know it's good.
Unrefined taste like coconut but sometimes i don't want that taste, so is unrefined equal but without taste. Good news at 71 I've been able to lose 40lbs in 4or 5 months and feel great. -20 carbs is worth it.
Is coconut oil good or bad to the person with fatty liver?
Coconut oil consumption significantly increased LDL-cholesterol by 10.47 mg/dL (95% CI: 3.01, 17.94; I2 = 84%, N=16) and HDL-cholesterol by 4.00 mg/dL (95% CI: 2.26, 5.73; I2 = 72%, N=16) as compared with nontropical vegetable oils. These effects remained significant after excluding nonrandomized trials, or trials of poor quality (Jadad score
And so what?
Cholesterol is only a part of the picture...
See YT "Is your doctor a clot"
Can you still benefit from using coconut oil if you have no gall bladder while using ox bile?
Absolutely, Liz! Coconut oils’ benefits are mostly for heart, brain and skin health. One of the incredible things about MCT’s is that they’re immediately absorbed, as Dr. Berg said. If my memory serves me, they bypass the liver and go straight to work. I don’t see the gallbladder being an issue to something so beneficial. Hope I helped!
I was surprised to see the first time I consumed coconut oil. I was nervous that It might affect my health advertly but surprisingly felt energetic.
The thumb rule is eat local. If olive oil is abundant and native, by all means use it. That way you can be assured that it wasn't gmo'd to make it suitable for native soil or didn't go through too much processing to prolong its shelf life while its exported. Coconut is native to us and its easy for us to cold press them and get it fresher and safer than what's been exported to you.
I have changed all oils 2 or more years ago. Now I use only coconut, EVOO and ghee.NO veg oils. But my bloodwork shows high cholesterol. I don’t understand. I stopped the coconut oil…….but now I think the cholesterol is carbs in my diet. So I am adding back in….the coconut oil and being keenly aware of my intake of carbs. I am using some keto foods, etc. I eat pasture eggs daily! Have added in serious high garlic supplements. Sometimes eating garlic raw. Over months I hope these renewed habits will bring my cholesterol down. I refused the statins. Anybody wanna comment??
Ahna
Kolesterol itu diperlukan untuk tubuh,,tidak masalah kolesterol tinggi asalkan tidak terjadi stress oksidatif
What's the best time to consume coconut oil?
May be with food. Not mentioned here.
In my country we have coconut for every ceremony whether is death, marriage, childbirth, bought new car or computer and more than dozens of festivals. We don't grow coconut pan india but somehow ancestors managed bring it inland.All of sudden doctors started telling how it's bad for health ,calorie stuff and women of my country got confused now new scientific research telling how beneficial it is. Now on I will trust my traditional ageold practices when comes to diet. Thank you

Dr. Berg you need to make a video about NON calcified atherosclerosis. You talk a lot about calcium but this other type of plaque can be dangerous also
Virgin Coconut Oil is the best.
Thank you for this video! Coincidentally, I was actually researching this very topic (is coconut oil healthy) during the last few days.
