What is the difference between cold-pressed Coconut Oil vs. cold-processed Coconut Oil?
Do not confuse cold-pressed vs cold-processed. Cold pressed oil usually passes through heat of nut of only 40 degrees but more than 80 degrees for the moisture to be totally eliminated. Cold processed on the other hand does not pass through any heat. Heated oil (including Refined, Bleached, Deodorized oil -RBD) which are mostly the coconut cooking oil , still retain the lauric acid content of the coconut oil but is reduced due to heating. Lauric acid is a very stable fatty acid. The caproic, caprylic and capric acids (very important for the cure of cancer and HIV), like Vitamin E and other tocopherol all dissipate with heat.
