Re: Coconut Oil Detox..?

I have been eating only 1 teaspoon per day of virgin coconut oil for a week.

Now I have insomnia, weight loss, and heart palpitations.

Is this a detox I'm going through or what?

Sounds like you are throwing your thyroid in a state of hyperthyroidism from the high level of iodine in coconut oil.  This is why I keep trying to warn people about consuming too much iodine.  There have been some people here who have tried to convince me that iodine is safe even in high doses, but it is not.

I thought VCO was good for you. :(

It does have a lot of beneficial properties. But again it is high in iodine, which is why it is also used to increase thyroid function in some cases of hypothyroidism.  Excess iodine though can over stimulate the thyroid though among other problems.
