“…Coconut oil is known for its numerous beneficial effects including prevention and treatment of Alzheimer disease [ 190 ], supporting bone health and preventing osteoporosis [ 191 ], controlling blood sugar [ 192 ], stress-reducing and antioxidant effects [ 193 ], preventing liver disease [ 194 ], reducing asthma symptoms [ 195 ], improving dental health [ 196 ] and reducing body weight [ 197 ]. On the other hand, there are also opposite or controversial opinions about the effects of coconut oil in the human diet due to high content of saturated FA (90%), which has been positively correlated with the increase of LDL-C [ 198 ].…”

A variety of vegetable and fruit derived food oils are considered beneficial for human health due to their content of functional components including their positive effects in cardiovascular system. In addition to the favorable ratio of unsaturated versus saturated fatty acids, some of these oils include also other health beneficial compounds such as vitamins, minerals, pigments, enzymes and phenolic compounds. Particularly polyphenols have been documented to exert numerous positive effects in cardiovascular system including their anti-hypertensive, anti-atherogenic as well as cardio- and vasculo- protective effects in subjects suffering from various cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases, likely via their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulant, anti-proliferative and anti-diabetic properties. However, it has not been proven so far whether the positive cardiovascular effects of polyphenol-rich food oils are, and to what measure, attributed to their phenolic content. Thus, the current review aims to summarize the main cardiovascular effects of major polyphenol-rich food oils including olive, flaxseed, soybean, sesame and coconut oils, and to uncover the role of their phenolic compounds in these effects.

“…The results indicated the ability of 10% of VCO to prevent the growth of cells and stimulation of cell death (at a concentration of 8.64% and 12.04%) during 72 h incubation. [53] Law et al [54] studied the role of coconut oil supplementation in patients with breast cancer. VCO was consumed twice a day (each time, 10 mL) by the patients in addition to three, four, five, and six cycles of chemotherapy, and the results were compared with the control group.…”

Nowadays, increase in a health-conscious population, interest in the nutritional properties and bioactive components of foods has also increased. Vegetable oils can be consumed in both virgin and refined forms, but there is a growing interest in the consumption of virgin oils as functional foods. Refining includes the elimination of unwanted components while maintaining essential elements. However, due to severe conditions such as high temperatures and harsh chemicals of the refining process, removal of desirable components and formation of unwanted components are sometimes unavoidable, which can cause serious health issues. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of nutritional and health aspects of refined and unrefined vegetable oils. Their role in causing several diseases and health issues, such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, liver disorders, renal disorders, inflammation, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disorders, allergies, and edema are investigated. Moreover, it is known that virgin oils have beneficial effects on gut microbiota which affect the nervous system and body health, as well as regulating inflammatory and metabolic changes; thus, including virgin oils in the diet is highly suggested. This review is a comprehensive collection of reports on the impact of refining on the nutritional and health effects of vegetable oils.

“…The impact of virgin coconut oil intake on attenuation of airway/nasal inflammation has not been widely studied. One study by Kamalaldin et al (2017) determined that the intrusion of inflammatory cells as well as the number of goblet and proliferative cells in the airway lumenwas significantly lower in VCO-treated allergic asthma models [115]. The authors also inferred that VCO performed better as a rescue agent rather than a preventive one in the case of asthma.…”

Recently, allergic rhinitis (AR) cases have been surging rapidly in many developing countries. However, the prevalence, risk factors and treatment modalities for AR within the Malaysian population have not been thoroughly evaluated. The present study aimed to provide a complete review of literature on allergic rhinitis in Malaysia. Available data indicated that the prevalence of AR varied across different age groups and regions in Malaysia, but there is an increasing trend among the younger population. The key contributing factor is exposure and sensitization towards several airborne allergens, mainly house dust mites, cat fur and fungi, with possible genetic predispositions. In addition, variations in the symptom severity may be associated with racial orientations. For management of the disease, standard prescriptions of conventional drugs (antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids and nasal decongestants) remain as the treatment of choice. A small proportion of the native residents tend to resort to alternative approaches of self-healing through aromatherapy and natural food consumption such as tiger’s milk mushroom and Tualang honey. In conclusion, the increase in the cases of AR in Malaysia is due to environmental and genetic factors which requires proper medical intervention as treatment strategies. The utilization of holistic approaches requires further studies and clear understanding prior to their integration into the standard of care. There are still many gaps in the knowledge and management of allergic rhinitis which demands further attention from the research community.
