"For olive oil, we have very strong studies showing that it's reduced the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer," says Kirkpatrick.

The oil also has been hailed for its potential to delay the effects of Alzheimer's Disease.

"I get asked about coconut oil on a daily basis," says Amanda Smith, medical director at the University of South Florida's Byrd Alzheimer's Institute in Tampa. She says she has heard mixed reviews from patients who've tried it and is conducting a study to determine whether cognitive benefits exist. "Some say that it helps, and others have perceived no benefit. But we don't have the data to make specific recommendations."
