-Organic Coconut sugar the new diabetic hero!
Coconut Sugar - The New Wonder Sugar For Diabetics
Coconut sugar is the next big thing to happen after vco virgin coconut oil was introduced in the market about three years ago. The raw coco sugar granules is dark brown in color like the moscuvado sugar from cane. It tastes like an ordinary cane sugar but with a difference, it smells like burnt coconut meat. The sugar particles look rough, but felt soft in one’s hand, easily melted in the mouth and tasted only slightly sweet.
For the health conscious consumers and diabetics, it can be considered to be the best sweetener substitute once it is available in the market because of the many benefits that it has to offer. Tests done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute ( FNRI) and Department of Science Technology (DOST) of the Philippines has revealed a low glycemic index (GI) of 35 compared to that of cane sugar’s glycemic index of 50.
Glycemic index according to a scientist from Food and Nutrition Research Institute, is the glucose response of an individual from food relative to a standard glucose solution. Low glucose index food is good for proper control of diabetes mellitus and it has shown to lower the LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol or known as the bad cholesterol. It has been also noted that it is also good for weight maintenance, thus preventing obesity or being overweight.
Coco sugar is 100% natural, free from additives and artificial flavoring. It is derived from the evaporating coconut sap or sweet toddy (tuba as it is known locally) through boiling in an open container where it is then allowed to cool and solidify. Coco sap if distilled, it turns into wine ( lambanog a local name which is commercially available).
If it is fermented it turns into vinegar. If cooked it turns into sugar. Comparative chemical analysis also revealed that coco sugar contains higher amount of nutrients compared to brown cane sugar. According to the report it has some amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, chlorine, magnesium, sulfur and micro nutrients.
Coco sugar is produced by natural process of heat evaporation with no preservatives added. Other products that can be derived from coco sap are vinegar, wine, jam, candy, health drink, honey and syrup. Coco sugar is now commercially produced in southern Philippines. Its market demand is ever increasing in the light of the health benefits that can be derived from the wonder sugar.

-AIDS victim tells of healing virtues of virgin coco oil
By Cesar C. Villariba-Inquirer News Service Philippine Daily Inquirer
Editor's Note: Published on Philippine Daily Inquirer
IN COMING out to tell a story that has to be told, Tom, 28, lends a face of hope to the 2,250 AIDS sufferers in the Philippines, who have been drawn into the global fight against the dreaded disease.
Beneath the sunglasses he wears are eyes moist not with self-pity but in triumph.
An all-covered getup, in the summer heat, hides a body scarred by a disease Tom contracted as a victim of gang rape while he was working in the Middle East.
Coming home in 2002, Tom was devastated to learn that hospitals and drugs could not help alleviate at least his pains, if not deliver him from the virus slowly gnawing at his cells and taking his life away.
His was the kind of pain that came not so much from the infections ravaging his body but from the shame the disease had brought him.
Given up for dying, Tom knew he had to look elsewhere-beyond drugs-to win his battle.
Nine months later, Tom appeared before a health symposium, for all to witness his remarkable recovery. What used to be skin sores all over his body were now just scars.
And his life energy had been restored enough to become an eloquent testimony to how something so natural as virgin coconut oil had halted his free fall.
"You don't know how hard it is for one to have an illness that others find repulsive ... I had wanted to shut myself inside my room and just wait for my time to die," Tom told symposium participants. Tom's journey to healing began when he sought out the Department of Health.
Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit referred his case to the author of the first clinical study on the healing effects of coconut oil on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-his father, Dr. Conrado Dayrit.
Since September 2004, the young AIDS patient has been on a high dose of virgin coconut oil, which he applies on his skin twice a day, short of "bathing in it." He also takes six tablespoonfuls daily without fail.
Tom said it helped that Secretary Dayrit was able to secure for him a steady supply of the healing oil from virgin coconut oil producers-for free.
Each time Tom went to have his periodic hospital tests, his viral load decreased progressively. Tom said that when he told hospital doctors what he was taking, they could not believe that an inexpensive natural food oil was killing the viruses better than all the expensive drugs science could churn out.
Naturopath Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Coconut Oil Miracles and Coconut Cures, concurs with Conrado Dayrit in saying that if virgin coconut oil can hold its own against deadly viruses, it can effectively protect one against lesser diseases.
Tom's case could be an eye-opener for scientists and prompt them into taking a closer look at coconut's other medical possibilities.
Presentations on the curative power of the coconut have spurred participants in the symposium-local coconut research luminaries, industry leaders and government officials-to work on helping not only the coconut industry but also people stricken by illness to get their health back again.
Presenting her National Academy of Science and Technology award-winning research on the efficacy of virgin coconut oil as a cure for skin diseases, like psoriasis and herpes simplex, dermatologist Dr. Vermen Verallo-Rowell batted for the use of natural virgin coconut oil as a safer and cheaper alternative to pharmaceutical antibiotics.

-Philippines to Benefit From Craze for Virgin Coconut Oil
MANILA, Feb. 8 Asia Pulse - The country can reposition itself as the largest global supplier of virgin coconut oil (VCO) as international cosmetics industry clamor for more supply, an official of the Philippine Coconut Authority said on Wednesday.
In a study titled "State of the Art VCO production in the Philippines" PCA Deputy Administrator Carlos Carpio said market positioning of the VCO has to be assured through quality and price competitiveness to maintain the country's present status as the leading exporter of VCO in the world.
The utmost priority for the industry is to increasingly fund research and development on processing technologies and for conducting more extensive medical studies to support the claims on various health benefits of VCO, he said.
The Philippines is still the number 1 supplier of VCO in the global market.
Other VCO producing countries are Thailand and Malaysia, and they are fast moving in product development to be able to compete with our VCO, he added.
The VCO was first recognized as food supplement due to its health benefit claims. Lately, a VCO boom have been noted due to increasing sales of high-end products, such as soaps, lotions, massage oils, beauty creams and lipsticks, that contain the natural oil.
Expanding our export markets is also an effective strategy to develop the VCO industry that will revitalize the dwindling coconut industry, Carpio added. ADVERTISEMENT
The growing demand for VCO has been noted in the past five years, and it wasnt until 2006 when it was recognized as potential export product.
To date, the Philippines produces 2,931 metric tons of VCO, generating US$1.5 million revenues from the US alone, the 2005 PCA records said.
Aside from US, other countries clamoring for VCOs are Australia, and Canada.
The increasing VCO craze in the international market has reinvigorated the coconut industry and started to gain economic advantage as many farmers ventured into virgin coconut oil production, mostly on a smaller scale.
He said that as such, more jobs were generated, and nut requirements of the VCO plants improved the farm income of the coconut farmers.(PNA)

The Philippines currently has over 324 million coconut trees planted and an additional 16 million are expected to be planted in the next few years. Coconut oil provides a new market for poor coconut farmers who traditionally sell for food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Coconut methyl ester Philippines: U.S. Firms Ink $55-Million Deals With Manila To Develop Biofuels Industry
Jennifer A. Ng, Pacific News Center Correspondent 05.MAR.08
7:43 p.m. Manila, Philippines - Two firms based in the United States have forged agreements with Manila to invest $55 million to develop the bioethanol and coco-diesel industries in the Philippines.
Philippine Agriculture Secretary Arthur C. Yap said the agreements were forged with US bioenergy firms FE Clean Energy and Global Renewable Energy Network Inc. (GREEN).
FE Clean Energy, through its Philippine affiliate Bronze Oak Clean Energy, will invest $30 million to operate a bioethal plant in Negros Occidental.
The San Carlos City plant will be fully operational by December 2008, producing 125,000 liters per day of ethanol or 40 million liters per year.
The Philippine government signed a separate agreement with GREEN Inc., represented by its president and chief executive officer Rafael Diego, to jointly develop 100 units of village-level biodiesel processing facilities in coconut-producing areas in the Philippines.
Target areas under the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with GREEN Inc. include Quezon, Laguna, Batangas and several provinces in Bicol.
The project costs $25 million and is targeted to produce 1,000 liters per day of coconut methyl ester in 12 hours and will initially benefit 5,000 families and 100 farmers' organizations and cooperatives over a two-year period beginning 2008.
A trade mission led by Yap is currently in the U.S. to secure more investments in the Philippines' farm and fisheries sector. - Pacific News
-Coconut sugar:Philippines Government Seeks More Investments In Coconut Sugar Production
Jennifer A. Ng, Pacific News Center Correspondent 25.JAN.08
10:56 a.m. Manila, Philippines - The Philippine government is seeking more investments in the production of coconut sugar which has become increasingly popular to diabetics.
The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) noted that the commodity has the potential to become a prime export commodity given the surge in demand for it in the international market.
After its formal launch last year, coconut sugar became a hit especially among foreigners because it is safe for diabetics. A handful of local producers, however, could not cope with the demand for it.
Erlene C. Manohar, a project development officer from the PCA, said the agency is encouraging more private investors to put in money and enter into a cooperative partnership with farmers.
Based on the PCA's investment model, Manohar noted that a P329,000 per hectare investment on coconut sap sugar gives an internal rate of return of 28 percent over a 3.21-year payback period.
A one-hectare land is assumed to have 100 coconut trees. This will have total toddy (coconut sap) yield per hectare per month of 7,500 liters and a total sugar production of 1,250 kilos for a sugar-toddy ratio of one kilo of sugar for every six liters of toddy.
PCA said the production of coconut sap sugar can create numerous livelihood opportunities in rural areas as the process involves a simple farm level technology, but it is labor intensive due to the coconut sap harvesting activity.
The export market for the coconut sugar has fast picked up since the completion of scientific studies showing that coconut sugar is a low glycemix index (GI) food last year. Based on clinical and scientific studies by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, the GI of coconut sugar is at 35, lower than "low GI" pegged at 55.
Coconut sugar is now being exported to the United States as a niche food for diabetics and is breaking ground in the China market as well.
