Great product and fast delivery. Coconut oil is great for dry skin.Dr. Bronners Virgin Coconut Oil — was tested and found to have one of the lowest levels of Phthalates = 126 ppbCoconut Oils with the Least Contamination are much safer to use. Scientific experts in endocrine disruption are deeply concerned about the simultaneous effect of the mixtures of phthalates present in food supplies and cooking oils.Phthalates Have Specific Problematic Health Effects:Phthalates are linked to many health effects from several studies on both animals and humans. This is very problematic because phthalates are linked with hormone disruption of the endocrine system, which regulates the body’s hormones, even in trace amounts in low concentrations. Epidemiological studies have revealed that exposure to phthalates adversely affects the level of hormones within the body, which can impact several important health functions. Here are some health effects phthalate exposure is linked to.• Weight gain & obesity• Shorter height• Precocious puberty• Asthma• Allergies• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)• Lower IQ• Social impairment• Type II diabetes and insulin resistance• Poor cardiovascular health• Thyroid function and increased risk of thyroid cancer• Females: pregnancy loss and preterm birth, low birth weight, earlier menopause• Males: genital development, semen quality, reduced “masculine” play, Inhibits testosterone production, Shortened anogenital distance, or shortened “taint” , Shortened length of penisPhthalates are anti-androgens—they disrupt male hormone action. Currently, highly chemicalized countries like America are experiencing a steady drop in male fertility, quantified through a population-level decline in mean sperm count and quality. Phthalate exposures are suspected of playing a role in the declines. Phthalate contamination of food oils is completely unacceptable! Like the olive oil manufacturers, the coconut oil manufacturers should begin acting to better protect their customers by rummaging through every aspect of their supply and manufacturing chains to ensure that all phthalates are eliminated. And then they should learn much more about endocrine disruption and become extremely diligent in producing products that are free of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. One has to wonder why the FDA appears to be asleep on the job.”

I absolutely love this coconut oil. I use it for cooking, mouth wash and even as a natural toothpaste ingredient. Tested the lowest for toxic chemical ‘Phthalate’ contamination and packaged in a glass jar. Highly recommended!

Ex-see-llent-te’ for ALL uses.
