Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The oil does not contain sugars or carbs, but the pulp from the coconut does?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 No, the oil does not contain sugars or carbs. It's a saturated fat that has been extracted from the coconut meant. Just as any vegetable oil or olive oil does not contain sugars or carbs, neither does coconut oil. the coconut meat has much more to it than just the oil, that's why it contains sugars and carbs. you can find more info about coconut oil in the files at our group site or online. jackie -- In , justine b <justiebs@...> wrote: > > > The oil does not contain sugars or carbs, but the pulp > from the coconut does?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Almost all oils are pure fats. Read the nutrition information on a jar of coconut, walnut, corn, peanut oil etc ... They generally break the fats down into percentages of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated and trans fats these days. But besides that, they should say carbohydrates 0 mg, protein 0 mg, cholesterol 0 mg ...

You can get serious die-off reactions just from coconut oil. Some people are so sensitive to it that they can only eat very small amounts at a time and have to build up gradually. Also keep in mind that it's part of the diet as a " good fat " and must be kept in proper ratios with proteins and carbs as specified. jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
