The benefits of exra raw virgin coconut oil on the body What are the benefits of Extra Raw Virgin Coconut Oil on the body? I've heard it's supposed to be good for you and even helps with weight loss, but I don't see how something that is saturated fat aids with weight loss or is good for you.

Extra Raw Virgin Coconut Oil is indeed good for the body. It can take the strain off of your digestive system by aiding in the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.
It 'may' also help with the following:
Promote healthy cholesterol levels.
Support a healthy intestinal tract.
Support healthy immune function.
Control blood sugar levels.
Support healthy metabolic function.
Improve digestion.
Improve absorption of nutrients.
I say may because all of the sites I had checked up on this wouldn't say for certain so I am also quoting them on this.
As for helping with weight, it easily metabolizes in the body, unlike polyunsaturated and partially hydrogenated fats to help with weight management. I imagine this would only be beneficial providing you are doing more than just using this oil to see a significant loss in weight, such as exercise as well as maintaining a healthy diet, since on it's own you would probably not see much, that much of a significant change. ]
