Coconut Oil

Kevin mentions taking a tbsp in the morning and evening. Has anyone used coconut oil and what health benefits if any did you receive from it?
I have it in solid form.

Melt the coconut oil stove top, add the other ingredients and stir. Pour into tiny muffin tins, or onto a cookie sheet with wax paper. FREEZE. Then either pop the muffin sized candies out or break the sheet of chocolate into pieces. YUM. It is so addicting!; ▶ Reply to This

The demonizing of saturated fats is the biggest scam of the last 50 years, right next to cholesterol.
