I go with what's old. What fats have been around for 1000s of years? My family has switched to a high sat. fat diet for about 2 years, and no one has gained a pound. My husband's HDL actually doubled when we started eating differently following a traditional foods diet, including more fat, esp. saturated. Crazy, right? Canola is just too new for me. :) Katie Monica,

As a Registered Dietitian, I have to disagree with your choice to use coconut oil. It is one of the least heart healthy oils because it contains high amounts of saturated fat. Canola oil would be a much better choice for baking - it is neutral in flavor and contains high amounts of heart healthy poly- and monounsaturated fats (essential fatty acids, omega-6's and omega-3's). These help to lower your "bad cholesterol" (LDL) and raise your "good cholesterol" (HDL).

I've heard of Soapers Choice which offers it pretty cheap in bulk and wondered about it, because I think it's a lot cheaper than Tropical Traditions. I would love any thoughts on it! Thanks so much!

It came completely frozen, yay midest winter. What affect does that have on its nutritional value? SO I bought some of the expensive organic extra virgin coconut oil.

I hope you are feeling better, and fast. Can't wait to hear if you think the c. oil does anything! I've never seen it in capsule form...it's good to cook with, too. Thank you for sharing - it really adds to the worth of the site :) Katie Cindy,

Well, this is rather interesting. I was diagnosed with mono. Which is strange being 52! But I have been so bone draining tired and the doc said rest and fluids and waiting for it to run its course is about all we can do. Well, I decided to see if there were any natural helps for it. Guess what everyone says? Yep, coconut oil!!! So I got some caosules at the health food store and started taking it tonight. I'll let you know how it goes! Apparantly it helps to stop the EB virus from dividing and helps to boost energy that the virus drains from you. I also want to get some B12 but they were out of it. I have high hopes. Also wanted to mention that thank you thank you thank you for the info on making homemade broths. That's what first led me to your website and I had a ton of them in the freezer. Boy was that a godsend while I was so sick that all I could do was sip broth! Jesus bless you!!!! Cindy Hi Katie. Well, this is rather interesting. I was diagnosed with mono.
