Harmful Infection. by OEmiohe(op): 12:10pm On Jun 16, 2016
Coconut Oil Can Kill Harmful Microorganisms.

Almost 50% of the fatty acids in coconut oil is the
12-carbon Lauric Acid. When coconut oil is enzymatically digested, it also forms a monoglyceride called monolaurin. Both lauric acid and monolaurin can kill harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungi . For example, these substances have been shown to kill the bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus (a
very dangerous pathogen) and the yeast Candida
Albicans, a common source of yeast infections in
humans .

Bottom Line: The fatty acids and breakdown products in coconut oil can kill harmful pathogens, potentially helping to prevent infections.
