There is a lot of hype around the Health -Food stores at the moment about
Virgin Coconut Oil being anti-viral.
In particular against the virus that causes obesity.
(see
Why are we getting fat Thread).
I havent seen any good clinical studies from people who don't sell it.
Has anyone?

Research shows virgin coconut oil has medicinal properties
By Arman Gunsika
KOTA KINABALU - Sabah is making its name in the cooking oil industry by producing 'virgin coconut oil' which is said to contain properties that can keep diseases at bay.
The new discovery was revealed by a joint venture company, KPS Sdn Bhd, which also included the Institute for Development Studies (IDS).
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Yahya Hussein said the new finding had exclusively used local expertise and materials found in Sabah. The oil was also produced not through the cooking process like the ones used in chemical mixes.
Datuk Yahya, who is also Minister of Community Development and Consumer Affairs said this when opening a seminar on Community Involvement in Sustainable Bio-resource and Bio-technology Utilisation here.
He said virgin coconut oil contains ingredients that can destroy several types of diseases caused by virus and bacteria. At the same time, the oil extract from the tropical fruit could also help reduce weight, lower high blood pressure and is also useful in producing cosmetics.
