More Published Studies Show Virgin Coconut Oil is Effective for Diabetes and Weight Loss
Peer-reviewed research has shown for decades now that adding coconut oil to one’s diet, especially if one is replacing toxic seed oils, has tremendous impacts on those suffering with diabetes and excessive weight gain.
That research has continued through 2025 and here into 2026 with several new studies published in various peer-reviewed journals.
Most of these studies are conducted outside of the U.S., because this information has been heavily censored as it contradicts USDA and FDA dietary advice, in favor of drug interventions instead.
We have a whole website to counter the negative U.S. media reporting and false pharmaceutical claims with the light of the truth, at CoconutOil.com, especially our page on Peer Reviewed Research.
The pharmaceutical industry cannot make any money off of coconut oil, because it is a natural product that cannot be patented.
Therefore, most of the research the medical community has done on the health properties of coconut oil, has been on its most abundant fatty acid, Lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid which is a known anti-pathogen which has been used for decades to fight pathogens, including in food preservation.
Coconut oil is nature’s most abundant source of Lauric acid, at around 50%. Human mother’s breast milk is a distant second, at around 16%.
And yet, tragically, most infant formulas sold for infants who are not breast-fed, do NOT contain coconut oil or Lauric acid, but soy protein and soy fat instead, which is extremely dangerous and toxic.
