I Don't know too much about traditional use of coconut but I loooooove

coconut. I use the oil, because fresh coconut is out of my budget, to

make smoothies and anywhere I would use regular coconut. I buy

Nutiva's coconut oil because it is as far as I can tell truly raw. I'm

a raw foodie for the most part and work very hard to ensure I'm

getting truly unprocessed stuff, it can be found cheapest on the

internet on Amazon.

One of my favorite smoothies is...

A cup of milk

1/4 or 1/2 banana depending on your taste/sugar tolerance

And as much coconut oil as you desire, I usually use about 2-3 Tbsp.

Blend on high until smoooOOOooth and creamy! Enjoy

Also you can drop the banana and add two eggs and some raw honey to

taste, yum!

As for your question, you may be able to find some info in this google

book called " Coconut: Rediscovered as Medicinal Food " ....

One of the best things about coconut is its ability to bind with heavy

metals and pull them out of the body, but it must be raw, cooked

coconut does not act the same.

Good luck, I just got back from Hawaii, LOTS o' coconut happening over

dea bra!

Woops, I just reread your post to make sure I read it correctly, turns

out I did not!

When I was researching Nutiva's coconut oil I read some comparisons

between it and TT's and there was an overwhelming agreement that

Nutiva's was far superior both in quality and in taste.

I recommend Nutiva and wouldn't mess about with anything else,

considering price, quality and taste.
