    I’m glad you don’t, because you’ll look it up on reputable sources at some point as a result.

    Here’s one in case anyone else doesn’t want to take the time to do that.

      C. albicans had the highest susceptibility to coconut oil (100%), with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 25% (1:4 dilution)

      Unless you eat 1/4 of your body weight in coconut oil this seems to be very irrelevant to human health.

        Maybe if my body weight consisted entirely of yeast… that’s the realm of science fiction though.

          That’s… Not how concentrations work.

          If you eat a spoon of coconut oil the stuff in it won’t magically appear only in the places in your body that are infected, let alone somehow find the yeast cell and cover it in a nice toxic film, all while avoiding being digested in any way. You’re thinking of some pre programmed, intelligent coconut oil or, well, science fiction indeed.

      Okay - I’m not going to take this further because I know what candida people are like, but even the title of that paper means it’s not relevant to a living human. Orange juice will kill cancer cells in vitro, it’s meaningless to extrapolate from that. Maybe a coconut oil massage is in order next time I’m feeling a little thrushy, but that’s about it.

        You’re laboring under the mistaken impression that I care what you do. The way you started your book of a reply though, I’m gonna go ahead and block you now. Have a nice day.

        Edit: A couple more blocked now, +2 noise reduction.

          This is a public forum so people are rightfully pointing out incorrect information, don’t take it personally.
