But the brain has another source of fuel: ketones, produced by the body from mid-chain triglycerides like those found in coconut oil. In fat, the most promising experimental Alzheimer&#8217;s drugs being tested today is nothing more than medium-chain triglycerides derived from coconut and palm kernel oil.<\/p>\n<p>Extracted from the copra of <em>Cocos nucifera<\/em>, coconut oil also turns out to be an extraordinary cooking oil because it resists smoking, even at high temperatures. Try cooking in coconut oil instead of olive oil (or cheaper vegetable oils) and you&#8217;ll notice a clear difference.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, coconut oil is also a fantastic food storage item as long as you can keep it cool. It&#8217;s a dense source of healthy calories that&#8217;s usable as both food and medicine. In fact, it can be used as the base for many salves, pastes or even herbal suppositories.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 Mike Adams from 25 Amazing Facts About Food, www.naturalnews.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reliable conclusions about the causes of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease remain elusive, and effective drugs to treat the disease remain equally scarce.
