Rogene,

Does the author say which is the best way to ingest it? I can't bring myself to take it straight. Flax oil I can do! But coconut oil, yecchhh!

Coconut Oil is recommended in Rubin's "Patient Heal Thyself" . . . Excellent book. Rogene

Hi Rogene,

I've been getting my coconut oil here for the past year or so: http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/mall/virgin_coconut_oil.asp

Actually, it is expensive stuff! I just paid $36 for a half gallon of it, previously I think I paid $17 for 2 quarts, so it has gone up. It is a solid most of the year, so the problem in taking it straight is the texture. In the summertime, when I keep my house at 80 degrees inside, it becomes a liquid and much easier to work with. But still, I have just used it for baking. I haven't used it in smoothies because it tends to set up when mixed with colder stuff. I have used coconut milk in smoothies though! YUM! I love coconut!

Coconut oil can be used in baking, frying or in smoothies. . . .

I haven't tried it yet, but I can't imagine it tasting bad. . . I love the smell of coconut oil.

An article I read about it today is strongly touting it's properties. . . helps balance the good/bad cholestoral, blood sugar, etc.

I don't know if this is another craze type of product, or if it's for real. If the cost isn't outrageous, it shouldn't hurt a try.

I got some in the health food store and it was a reasonable price but

I still have not used it. I am back on all my supplements though, so

far they seem to be ok, as long as I take them with food.

hugs
