There is so many mixed opinions out there on this stuff. Anyone have any knowledge of its health benefits? Anyone use this?

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:

That is the EXACT thing I thought about when I bought some yesterday. :lol: It just smelled so good. It stays solid until it reaches a temp of 76 degrees, but its so smooth and slippery. PERFECT!

Damn Red I think I'm LUV...... :shock:

It's supposed to be great for the skin. I know some people that use it instead of baby oil.






on their babies, people, sheesh!

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:

If you like it go for it. :wink:

Let us know how it goes. :D

Thanks, that article was just what I was looking for.

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..
