A Note about Rancidity
Vegetable oils oxidize very rapidly and become rancid. To prevent
rancidity, food manufacturers super-refine the oils, which is especially
damaging to cell health and causes a negative impact on the thyroid. The
long-chain fatty acids found in vegetable oils that are deposited in cells
are often rancid, oxidized fat, which interferes with the conversion of the
thyroid hormone T4 to T3, needed to produce enzymes for the conversion
of fat to energy.
Coconut Oil to the Rescue
Because coconut oil is saturated and highly stable, oxidation does not
occur, and because it is broken down differently in the body, coconut oil
does not interfere with the conversion of T4 to T3. In addition to changing
from polyunsaturated fats to healthy saturated fats found in coconut oil,
there are a number of other healthy lifestyle changes you can make to
support healthy thyroid function:
6 6 Consume iodine-rich foods such as sea vegetables, cranberries,
freshly caught fish and eggs.
6 6 Juice organic vegetables.
6 6 Avoid foods that contain soybean oil—often found in mayonnaise,
peanut butter, dressings, etc..
6 6 Reduce consumption of processed grains and sugar.
