Coconut oil prolongs life in peroxisomal disorders: fruit fly study 'Lorenzo's Oil' was to help a seriously ill boy suffering from a peroxisomal disorder (adrenoleukodystrophy/ALD). The true story was turned into a film which made the rare disease well known. Scientists investigated such peroxisomal diseases on fruit flies. They were able to prove that a coconut oil diet significantly increases the vitality and lifespan of the flies. ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png #Nutrition #Research ...
