The Coconut & Thyroid Connection http://www.cb-alerts.com/go/coconut-thyroid

How This Tropical Nut Supports Healthy Thyroid Function. Coconut oil is truly a jam-packed therapeutic
bullet that can tackle even some of the most
health destroying conditions, including thyroid
problems. It is rich in fatty acids, which support
metabolism and provide energy. Unlike the polyunsaturated oils in many foods, coconut oil is high in (healthy) saturated fat, lauric acid, and medium chain fatty acids. It’s unique structure makes it a highly usable source of energy for the body and its particular fat balance is nourishing to the thyroid.

Coconut oil, on the other hand, is a saturated fat made up primarily of medium chain fatty acids. Also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), medium chain fatty acids are known to increase metabolism and promote weight loss. Coconut oil can also raise basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism. This is good news for people who suffer with low thyroid function.
