Make a Donation to the Coconut Research Center

The Coconut Research Center was established to educate the medical profession and the general public about the health and nutritional aspects of coconut and palm products. The primary purpose of this website is to dispel the many myths surrounding coconut and palm products, to present a more accurate and scientific viewpoint, and to aid others in their research.

All funding for the Coconut Research Center comes from private donations. We have no corporate sponsors or any connection to any particular industry. We are not a business, nor do we sell coconut products; our entire focus is on education and public awareness. If you would like to help support our mission of education and help us maintain this website, please feel free to make a donation.

Why has coconut oil had a bad reputation in the past? It's not what you might think. The reason has nothing to do with science or with health.
