Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)
and Diabetes

Most adults who suffer from diabetes have what is known as "Type II Diabetes."  In this disease, the pancreas can still produce enough insulin; however, the cells in the body are unable to absorb it.  Diet plays a key role in the treatment and prevention of this type of diabetes.

Doctors typically prescribe a low-fat diet for their diabetic patients.  This is helpful in part because it can help some patients lose weight, which is a risk factor for diabetes.  More importantly, there are some fats that not only make diabetes worse, but can actually cause diabetes!

Studies have shown that polyunsaturated fats, such as those found in refined vegetable seed oil, can inhibit body cells from absorbing insulin.  

But there is one fat that diabetics (or borderline diabetics) can and should eat - coconut oil!  Studies have shown that VCO improves insulin secretion by the pancreas and the body's cells ability to utilize blood glucose.  This is due in part because VCO helps to supply energy to the cells as it is easily absorbed rather than stored in fat tissues like other oils.

Dr. Jader-Onate currently has fifty diabetic patients under her care.  When they first came to her, their fasting blood sugar averaged 400 - 200.  After regularly taking Laureece VCO, their blood sugar is now controlled at 110 - 140. 

So, our clinical studies confirm what other studies have shown!

Obesity and Diabetes

Obesity is often a result of a slowdown in your metabolism.  This reduction of your metabolic rate also slows down your body's cells ability to absorb insulin that is produced by your pancreas.   Click here to read more.
