I bought organic virgin coconut oil, and when I tasted it, it tasted like rancid coconut candy. Is that the way it is supposed to taste? I melted some in my coffee and that wasn’t that bad tasting. It says it expires in 2012 and I bought it at Vitamin Cottage.

I use VCO for some cooking and I put it on toast with peanut butter and it’s D’lish. I also use it as an anit frizz serum for my hair and a straightening balm for my hair when I want to go straight. I use it sparingly since it is an oil and you can over do it. If you do overdo it, get some corn starch and go through your hair. I am also using it as a body moisturizer, I feel alot less dry all over BUT my hands are seeming to dry out quickly…maybe cause I am washing them all of the time. Great massage oil and I put it on my feet and throw socks on and go to bed and wake up with soft feet.

The gold label Tropical Traditions CO tastes so good that I eat a spoonful by itself sometimes. There isn’t anything else like it that I’ve discovered. The extraction process they use is unique.

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.

I have always believed coconut oil to be healthy but just today I came across this statement:

Do you have any comments on this, Mark? You’re knowledge on this topic would be much appreciated.

I used coconut oil on my skin for several months, thinking it was superior to chemical laden lotions. 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.

Mark, I am really surprised that you reported the supposed medical benefits of coconut oil. 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.
