Health Impact News
Articles on the health benefits of coconut oil dominated our top 10 stories published in 2012. Many of these were published in the first quarter of 2012, when coconut oil received a lot of national media exposure, especially in the area of Alzheimer’s support. While we have been publishing these results on our CoconutOil.com website since 2008, much of this information was being published for the first time in early 2012. CoconutOil.com and Health Impact News continue to be the most comprehensive and most reliable sources for news and research about coconut oil, building upon our 12 plus years of publishing research on the health benefits of coconut oil. Starting in the year 2000 by publishing peer-reviewed studies and collecting thousands of testimonies, many of the early news and reports are now archived in the forums at Coconutdiet.com and can be searched there.
Stories on the dangers of vaccines comprised the few articles in the top 10 published stories of 2012 that were not coconut oil related. Here are the top 10:
1. Coconut Oil and Alzheimer’s Disease: The News is Spreading
3. Home-made Coconut Lotion Bars
4. Coconut Oil for Skin Health
5. Man in his 80s with “severe dementia” returning to old self after starting coconut oil
6. Italian Court Rules MMR Vaccine Caused Autism: Why is this story blacked out of the US Media?
7. Homemade Coconut Milk Shampoo and Body Wash
8. 4,250% Increase in Fetal Deaths Reported to VAERS After Flu Shot Given to Pregnant Women
9. Serious Chicken Pox Outbreak in Indiana is Among Vaccinated Children
10. Virgin Coconut Oil Effective in Treating Diabetes
While not having any stories crack the top 10, other hot topics we reported this year that received a lot of views included the dangers of genetically modified food and political efforts to label such food, the government attacks on raw milk farmers, the benefits of cholesterol and the dangers of statin drugs, and the dangers of other prescription drugs, especially the link between anti-psychotic drugs and violence.
And our most viewed story, for the second year in a row, is the story published in 2011: 80 Uses for Coconut Oil – a list that has now expanded to 333 uses!
We will continue to report and educate on these topics in 2013, as the “mainstream” media continues to mostly censor these stories.
Brian and Marianita Shilhavy – Editors, Health Impact News
About the author: Unlike many people who write about coconut oil by simply reading about it, Brian Shilhavy actually lived in a coconut producing area of the Philippines for several years with his family, observing firsthand the differences between the diet and health of the younger generation and those of his wife’s parents’ generation still consuming a traditional diet. This led to years of studying Philippine nutrition and dietary patterns first hand while living in a rural farming community in the Philippines. Brian is the author of the best-selling book: Virgin Coconut Oil: How it has changed people’s lives and how it can change yours!
