Ngokuphathelene namafutha kakhukhunathi, ochwepheshe abaningi baxwayisa ukuthi, siqhutshwa ukufutheka kwalokhu kudla, sikunikeza izinzuzo eziningi kunalezo esezikhonjisiwe. Izinzuzo zangempela zamafutha kakhukhunathi - Okungukuthi, lezo ezixhaswe yizifundo zesayensi- yilezi ezilandelayo:
Ifakwa esikhunjeni, uwoyela kakhukhunathi ungaqeda izimo eziningi eziyinkani. Iyakwazi ukulwa ukoma nokucasuka, yingakho abantu abaningi beyisebenzisa esikhundleni sesithambisi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ivame ukukhombisa imiphumela emihle ku-eczema, psoriasis, kanye nokutheleleka ngemvubelo.
Kubonisiwe lokho i-virgin coconut oil inyusa amazinga amahle e-cholesterol. Uhlobo oluthile lwe-hydrogenated lwenza okufanayo, kepha nge-cholesterol embi, eyinikeze i-rap embi eminyakeni yamuva, yaze yaboniswa ukuthi, nakuba iluhlaza, iphilile.
Ucwaningo lwakamuva lukhombisile ukuthi uwoyela kakhukhunathi kungavimbela izimbotshana. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi kumisa ukukhula kwezinhlobo eziningi zama-bacterium S. mutans - obhekele ukubola kwamazinyo. Lokhu kuvula umnyango ekwakhiweni kokugeza ngomlomo okubulala amagciwane amabi kuphela. Lezi ezikhona manje zibulala wonke amagciwane asemlonyeni.
Emkhakheni wobuhle, lokhu kudla kusetshenziswa ngokwezihloko nangemlomo ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukubukeka kwesikhumba. Abanye ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi lapho uwoyela kakhukhunathi ufakwa njalo, imiphumela yawo yokuqeda ubuthi ibulala amabhaktheriya kanye nobuthi emlonyeni, okudala izinguquko eziningi ezibandakanya ukukhanya okukhulayo kwesikhumba nokuncipha kwezinduna.
