Service‚[27] and Dietitians of Canada[25] recommend against the consumption of significant amounts of refined/hydrogenated coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat. Advocacy against coconut and palm oils in the 1970s and 80s due to their perceived danger as a saturated fat caused companies to instead substitute trans fats‚ unaware of their health-damaging effects.[28] Coconut oil contains a large proportion of lauric acid‚ a saturated fat that raises blood cholesterol levels by increasing the

The coconut tree as a “tree of life” is characteristically a food supplier as this tree provides fruit and is well-known to be devoid of any anti-nutrient factors and is known as a whole food with 5‚000 years of recorded use in food preparation with health benefits.The fruit is edible at any stage of maturity. It provides not only a solid food but a large volume of very safe and healthy drinking water-based juice. The fruit of the coconut palm is the main source of many food products such as coconut

Coconut The coconut palm‚ Cocos nucifera‚ is a member of the family Arecaceae (palm family). It is the only accepted species in the genus Cocos.[2] The term coconut can refer to the entire coconut palm‚ the seed‚ or the fruit‚ which‚ botanically‚ is a drupe‚ not a nut. The spelling cocoanut is an archaic form of the word.[3] The term is derived from 16th century Portugueseand Spanish cocos‚ meaning "grinning face"‚ from the three small holes on the coconut shell that resemble human facial features

Oxidation & Reduction I. Metal-Metal Ion Displacement II. Halogen Displacement Reactions INTRODUCTION A series of experiments had been conducted to determine the order of displacement strengths of the metals and halogen chosen for the experiments. A displacement reaction is a reaction in which one element(metal or non-metal) displaces another element(metal or non-metal) from its salt solution. In the displacement reaction of metals‚ the more electropositive metal will displace the less

Mountaintop Removal Threatens the Appalachians The Appalachian Mountains are home to one of the most diverse ecosystems in the temperate region of the world. More than ten thousand species of animals ranging from salamanders to black bears inhabit the mountains‚ and more than a hundred species of plants blanket the mountainsides and valleys. This Appalachian ecosystem is in danger; a procedure called mountaintop removal threatens to reduce these colossal mountains to rubble in mere seconds. The

EXTRACTION OF METALS SUMMARY Most metals exist in compounds in rocks in the Earth’s crust. Many of these ores contain oxides or sulphides of the metals. The compounds need to be reduced to produce the metals as elements. Metals are very useful to us because of their special properties. Reduction means removal of oxygen or gain of electrons. Carbon is a good chemical reducing agent because it readily combines with oxygen‚ but it is only useful for the metals below it in the Reactivity
