Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
According to some articles, there really isn't a difference.

Some Cal/Mag will probably fix that.

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
A few questions. I have was a lot of pages but do not have anymore time. Forgive me if these were covered.
Has anyone tried the 365 WF brand and if so how does it compare to nutiva and the others? Can I use CO in lieu of conditioner when going no-poo or doing curly girl? Or will it just regulate my hair over time internally? Is it good for lip balm? Does WF carry the raw CO? That is what I want, yes? Does it help with ADHD type symptoms at all? Thank you?

It is GREAT for lip balm but only use a smidgen or you will have a lot of oil all over a little goes a very long way. AND I haven't noticed any difference in my or my dc's adhd.

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
here's a link to explain the different kinds of coconut oils: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/wh...oconut_oil.htm
i personally don't like tropical traditions, the taste and texture is icky to me. i'm confused on the "raw" part of it... there seems to be conflicting ideas. the most important i think is that it's virgin and unrefined... the first links says it's impossible to have raw coconut oil unless it's refridgerated. here's the nutiva link: http://nutiva.com/products/10_coconut.php . that link says that the ingredients are 100% raw organic extra-virgin coconut oil. i have seen nutiva at WF's, but it is WAY cheaper, even with shipping, to get it from vitacost.com. and it ships within 24 hours of ordering, it's fast.

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
Thanks, ladies. I ended up going to WF and purchased the Nutiva today. The 365 brand was expeller pressed and I didn't know what that meant so I didn't get it. I put the CO in my tea and am drinking as we speak. I cannot taste it. I tried to eat it outright, but I had an issue with the texture so I thought I would try it in my tea instead and look for other ways to implement it.
There is a lot of great info here! Thank you!

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
That sounds good too. I think I would like it in a smoothie as well.
WOW! I just checked the prices at vitacost and they are super cheap! I will definitely order my stuff from there from now on.
