We discuss the potential roles of extra virgin coconut oil in treatment of obesity (and paradoxically malnutrition), intestinal inflammation, skin disorders, Alzheimer’s Disease, and even cancer. As an added bonus, Dr. Fife discusses the new fad of “oil pulling”—initially skeptical, after scientific investigation, he concludes that there really might be something to it!
