Hi, I'm Katie from WellnessMama.com and this is episode 12 of the Wellness Momma Podcast,

where I provide simple answers for healthier families.

Did you know that coconut oil and coconut products are among some of the healthiest foods

in the world?

In the United States, many people avoid saturated fats, but coconut oil is unique for its high

content of loric acid and medium chain triglycerides.

In fact, populations throughout the world that consume the most coconut oil and coconut

products have excellent health and low rates of disease.

One example of this is the Toki Lowins, which live in the South Pacific.

They get an estimated 60% of their calories from coconuts and they're considered to be

one of the populations in the world that consumes the most saturated fat.

In fact, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that the Toki Lowins and the Pukapuka

tribes both had extremely high intake of saturated fat, but were an excellent health with no

heart disease.

The National Institute for Health also reported that the Kitavins, a tribe from the Melonine

and Islands, had a high saturated fat intake and low rates of heart disease and stroke.

In today's episode, we will be delving into the world of coconut oil and what makes

it so healthy.

Our guest is Jake Carney, founder of the Wildly Popular Site, the Alternative Daily, which
