Mother's milk innately containing composition fatty acid really stunning. It comprise from 45-50% 'saturated', around 35% 'monounsaturated ' and 15-20%'polyunsaturated'. Of the total number saturated fatty acid stated, around 18% from it is antimicrobial fatty acid which comprise from lauric acid and capric acid. Both antimicrobial fatty acid stated pay give baby milk protection from variety type of virus, as HIV and herpes, bacteria such Chlamydia and helicobacter, and protozoan as giardia lamblia.
Content level antimicrobial fatty acids maybe low as 3-4%. Yet when a mother whose suckle child take virgin coconut oil in food, level lauric acid and capric acid will increase strikingly in their milk.
Latest this study have shown when virgin coconut oil make as a part from nutrition, content lauric acid in mother's milk will increase around trebles , while content capric acid will increase double. To some mother in some country, content level lauric acid and capric acid inside their milk can reach around 21% (for lauric acid) and 6% (for capric acid). This situation will pay their baby more protection for virus, bacteria and protozoan. (see in outcome of the study The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition – publish in the year 1998).
Beside nutrition for child that give milk mothers take virgin coconut oil in food, they will also get additional nutrition , because 'saturated fat' which was 'medium chain fatty acid' in virgin coconut oil easy to digest and convert into energy, beside his ability activate or launch metabolic system, able to support immunes body system and well tried overcome the thyroid problem
