Investigación: La salud cardiovascular y el Aceite de Coco

Un gran número de estudios muestran una correlación directa entre las infecciones bacterianas y virales crónicas de grado bajo y las enfermedades coronarias.Los principales culpables son el Chlamydia pneumoniae, citomegalovirus y Helicobacter pylori. Cada uno de estos organismos patógenos, así como muchos otros, son eliminados por los ácidos grasos de cadena media presentes en el Aceite de Coco. Por lo tanto, podemos concluir que el Aceite de Coco, en efecto, puede reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares.
