When you stop and think about how much coconut and especially coconut oil has been vilified by all those pompous health gurus out there thumping their chests with an arrogance that merely shows their ignorance, it just makes you shake your head. Why? Because not only is coconut one of the most incredible superfoods in the entire world, it is also a very tasty one that sadly has been given a bad rap because of the fat content. But Dr. Bruce Fife brilliantly lays out the growing proof that coconut is actually a miracle supplement in Coconut Cures.

Now, when you use a strong word like "cures" in the title of a book, then you had better have the evidence to back it up. Dr. Fife does just that as he delves into the "healing power of coconut" for such ailments as heart disease, kidney stones, erratic blood sugar disorders and diabetes, warts, insect bites, acne, cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, slow metabolism, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, and aging with plenty of references that come straight from the scientific journals. Additionally, you'll read seemingly unbelievable stories of real people who have benefited from coconut and coconut derivative consumption.

My favorite chapter because of its creativity is Chapter 4 entitled "Coconut Oil On Trial." Dr. Fife takes on the most common complaints about coconut oil and puts them on trial with opening arguments, testimony from expert witnesses, and closing arguments from the "Prosecution" and "Defense." Such controversial topics as saturated fats and cholesterol, atherosclerosis, high blood lipids, and heart disease risk are taken on and treated fairly. The verdict from the judge whether coconut oil is guilty or not guilty? Well, you're gonna have to read page 98 of Coconut Cures to find out.

If you're even a little bit curious about coconut, coconut water, coconut milk, or coconut oil, then you owe it to yourself to pick up this primer on all things related to the flavorful fruit. There's help on how to find a good coconut, an "A to Z" reference on all the benefits to your health that come from coconut, and even some super-easy recipes designed to specifically treat health conditions. Whether you believe Coconut Cures is a health panacea or not, it's hard to argue against the case that Dr. Bruce Fife makes in this book.

A very informative book. I purchased coconut oil [...]
and use it every day on my skin and in my food. We should have known about the
benefits of coconut oil a long time ago.
