A study from the National Center for Scientific Research in Havana, Cuba (The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2007), found that coconut oil may be helpful in reducing the weight of the prostrate in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is the benign uncontrolled growth of the prostrate gland, which leads to difficulty with urination.
Since coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, such as lauric and myristic acids, it may help to prevent this testosterone—induced condition.
