Diane, there are lots of scientific studies *proving* the benefits of coconut oil. Like all scientific studies it’s up to you to decide if you think they are valid or not.

At first it worked great, but over time my natural oils must have slowed down, because my skin became like an alligator's. I quit using it, and after several weeks, my skin recouped it's natural look. I've since read articles on oil causing skin to dry out.

Most of your stuff is well researched and documented, but the coconut oil supposed benefits have never been proven scientifically. There is a lot of crap on the internet and in magazines, and the rave reviews of coconut oil are crap. Just like the supposed benefits of acai berries. Pure junk science.

Natural coconut oil leaves a very unpleasant rancid smell if it has gone bad. If it smells just fine, you may continue to use it. Regular user of CO oil. You can say if it has spoilt from the smell.

The extra virgin CC oil tasting much more "coconutty" than the virgin (both being organic). On Virgin vs Extra Virgin- I have noticed a significant taste difference.
