How does Conuq Virgin Coconut Oil differ from other oils?
Virgin coconut oil is saturated oil, made up mostly of medium chain fatty acids. Other oils such as vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil, safflower oil) contain mostly long chain fatty acids, which are polyunsaturated. Olive oil and canola oil are classified as monounsaturated. These oils are processed by heating and hydrogenating, which in turn produces dangerous trans fats. Medium chain fatty acids make virgin coconut oil unique in terms of digestion and metabolism. Unlike other oils which are digested using bile and pancreatic enzymes, virgin coconut oil goes immediately to the liver and is converted to energy.
