Redd Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 There is so many mixed opinions out there on this stuff. Anyone have any knowledge of its health benefits? Anyone use this? Quote
Iceman_40 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 No idea on the health end of it but a roll of plastic, a gallon jug and the right partner can make a interesting night :twisted: Quote

It just smelled so good. It stays solid until it reaches a temp of 76 degrees, but its so smooth and slippery. PERFECT! Quote

Don't use it but I remember a while back it was denounced as a very high sat. fat oil- ie. bad for you. Found this: http://www.mercola.com/2003/sep/13/coconut_oil.htm If you like it go for it. :wink: Let us know how it goes. Quote
Redd Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Thanks, that article was just what I was looking for. Quote
spEEdfrEEk Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 There is so many mixed opinions out there on this stuff. Anyone have any knowledge of its health benefits? Anyone use this? Coconut oil is one of the best oils you can possibly cook with. It maintains it's saturated state even when raised to high temperatures (like frying) without de-naturing. It is MUCH safer to cook with than the unsaturated (hydrogenated) oils like canola and safflower. The medium chain triglycerides that are in coconut oil are super metabolic -- they give you almost as much energy (as easily) as glucose. That's why I drink 1/4 cup of pure coconut milk every day 2 hours before I hit the gym to lift. The benefits of coconut oil are many.. TJ Quote
Redd Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 You know, Im glad you bumped this up. I started taking coconut oil everyday after I posted this. lately Ive been a bit lax taking it. You are right about the benefits from it!!! Quote
