I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconut Oil

I never knew the benefits of coconut oil until recently. Pretty astounding, if the claims are true. Anyway, I bought myself a bunch of coconut oil to not only saute and bake with, but I eat a teaspoon mid-day as a snack...a bit bland, thick, but not too oily. I'm also applying it to my skin, like body lotion.

Coconut oil provides essential fatty acids - great for quick energy with zero-carbs, and raises the metabolic rate. Research has shown pure coconut oil to inactivate certain bacterias and viruses, and lower HIV levels. This all has to do with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) acids, and lauric acid, in particular.

For years I've used virgin olive oil, but recently I started cooking with coconut oil and love it. The taste is very mild, so you can add it to ingredients without everything tasting of coconut. I took their suggestion and added it to my fruit and protein breakfast smoothie. Note: for safe use, it is recommended to limit serving to 1-4 tbsp./day.
