Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I found the following statement on a website. If you have any experience with taking coconut oil, I'd like to know more. How do you take it? How has it helped you? Is there a specific brand you have tried? Thanks, Pam Coconut Oil: A-Healthy Choice for the Thyroid ....Coconut oil, on the other hand, is a saturated fat made up primarily of medium chain fatty acids. Also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), medium chain fatty acids are known to increase metabolism and promote weight loss. Coconut oil can also raise basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism. This is good news for people who suffer with low thyroid function...
