Default Re: Talk to me about coconut oil

Hmmmm. The benefits sound great, but... coconut? Ewwwwwww. There is no taste in the world that makes me gag more than coconut... I'm half-retching at the mere thought. Any way to get (at least some of) the benefits without any coconut taste at all?

I read on one site that they have it in pill form, too. It may not be the best, but it is better than none at all.

Sometimes hating a food is a sign of a sensitivity to that food. If it bothers you that much, then it probably doesn't have any benefits for you. I feel the same way about fish, and it turns out that I am mildly allergic to it. So, no matter the benefits of eating fish or taking fish oil for other people, there are no benefits in it for me. Might be the same for you with coconut oil.

Default Re: Talk to me about coconut oil

I mixed it into tea (and cappuccino) last night instead of eating a spoonful. I could taste it in the tea but not the cappuccino and it made my lips soft and soothed my throat. didn't last long but for the time it was nice.

Default Re: Talk to me about coconut oil

Can somebody who has the BIG jar of Nutiva measure it for me? I'm trying to figure out if it will fit in my cabinets. (shelves are kind of short)

Thanks.....
