Mother has dementia, does not eat much but does like toast in the morning does it have any flavor if she put it on the bread. I am willing to try anything.
The touting of coconut oil as a remedy for Alzheimer's has no validity according to most reputable sources. The touting comes from anecdotal reports from people who are making money from making these claims.
I have never heard that coconut oil is a cure for Alzheimers.Extra virgin coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature, is very beneficial in many ways. I use it as a butter substitute to spread on toast, and also on my skin. I nave never experienced any diarrhoea from it. Try reading the book The Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin to get the inside story on coconut oil.
Hi Shadow. I live on island where it's easy to buy coconut oil. But I'm not expert because I rarely buy it. According to my older sis who happens to be a very, very good massager (we call it healing hands) - she says that the best coconut oil is the freshly made ones. This is NOT the ones at the drugstore,grocery store or Kmart. For the ones closer to natural oil, we go to the small mom/pops stores or Asian (Oriental) stores.
If you can't find any in your area, you can try Amazon or some other online sites. BUT I would NOT put it on toast. It might cause her stomach cramping and diarrhea...unless you blend it with something else to dilute it.
If you want to flavor her toast, how about putting a very light olive oil. Or sprinkle some cinnamon on top. My dad had substituted butter for the virgin olive oil. I don't care for the taste of olive oil so....don't know if it actually tastes good with toast. If it's a very good olive oil, and you put it in the fridge, it would become solid like a butter. Of course, when you take it out, it will melt back to it's original form.
I think olive oil is much better than coconut oil...
At my HEB coconut oil is in the same shelf area as Crisco type products ..higher end side near the good Olive Oil. In same type can container as Crisco. Good luck.
Drug companies have a hard time getting copyright rights on food products. Except companies like Monsanto that are able to copyright seeds. Coconut oil is beneficial to the mind and body. Is it a cure for Alzheimers, it has never been proven. Does it help the body, absolutely!
If coconut oil helped slow the progression of Alzheimer's the drug companies would be all over it. It's just a myth.
