By: Nadeena JhaThe Globe And CableThe use of coconut oil to heat food can be traced back to the late nineteenth century, but its use for cooking and baking has been limited since the 1970s, when it became an issue of controversy after it was discovered that it contains a high percentage of omega-6 fats.

In the past decade, it has also been an issue in the public health arena, with reports of health problems, and the use of it as a cooking oil banned in the United Kingdom and Australia in recent years.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been working to limit its use as an ingredient in cooking.

A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that coconut oil can reduce inflammation, increase food safety and reduce food allergies.

The authors, led by Dr. Joseph J. Abrantes, a professor of nutrition at the University of California, San Francisco, say that, for people with celiac disease, the benefits of coconut are more evident.

The researchers say that they believe that the benefits outweigh the risks.

They are the first to show that coconut oils have anti-inflammatory properties, a positive effect that has been seen in animal studies, and that it can reduce food allergy symptoms.

“Coconut oil is a promising ingredient for reducing inflammation and providing protection against food allergies,” Dr. Alesina said.

“Coconuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids and phytochemicals that promote a range of immune system health and health benefits.”

Cocoa oil is derived from the beans of the palm tree, which is a member of the almond family.

The fruit is used in many cultures as a sweetener, and as a flavoring in drinks and baked goods.

It is commonly used as a vegetable oil for cooking, but the health benefits of consuming it are not yet well understood.

Dr. Aalesina said the team’s research was motivated by the lack of available data on the health effects of consuming coconut oil.

“While coconut oil has been used for centuries for cooking purposes, there has been no rigorous studies examining its potential health benefits,” he said.

The scientists used a large clinical trial to test the effects of coconut oils on patients with ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease.

The trial included 7,000 people over a four-year period.

The participants were randomized to receive either a daily or daily high-dose coconut oil supplement.

The study also looked at whether coconut oil could reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, in a separate clinical trial.

The research showed that coconut’s anti-irritant properties did not seem to affect symptoms, but a small number of people in the coconut group had a significant reduction in symptoms after just one month.

The team also found that the oil’s anti, anti-oxidant and anti-fungal properties were also seen in the study.

The findings also showed that the coconut oils could help people with chronic, recurrent, or non-cancerous Crohn’s disease.

This disease has caused the most damage to the colon, and is linked to ulceration of the small intestine.

Abrantes and his colleagues believe that coconut is a natural, plant-based ingredient that is more than just an alternative to a diet of animal products.

“It’s not just a supplement to try to combat the symptoms of inflammatory diseases, it’s a great ingredient to use in our everyday life,” Abranta said.

Abreas said that more research is needed to understand the health and long-term effects of eating coconut.

The researchers say their research is also promising for people suffering from celiac or Crohn, and are working to make coconut a part of their daily diet.
