Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hello, Bee. Coconut oil is known to be very high in salicylates, which some have noted are essentially plant 'toxins' which are inherent in the plant product as a self-defense mechanism against 'predators.' They want you to feel it when you consume it. When I consume coconut oil, I notice that I have more increased loose stools and more frequent stools overall. When I do not consume coconut oil, yet I consume large amounts of butter, I do not experience this same effect of loose stools at an increased frequency. What is your perspective on the very high salycilate content of coconut oil and the extremely low salicylate content of practically all animal foods such as eggs, butter, pork, beef, etc.? I think that this may be a big part of my problem. When I consume coconut oil, I seem to fare worse. Also, oregano is EXTREMELY high in salicylates. Whenever I consume even a few drops of oregano oil, I go absolutely nuts, and suffer with very bad depression and anxiety attacks. I would value your feedback, Bee. I'm thinking of giving a trial to removing salicylates from my daily diet (meaning no oil or oregano, coconut oil, and continuing my almost purely animal products diet).
