Coconut Oil?
- Thread starter turbolapp

Mostly for the health reasons already stated in this thread.
Something I don't think I've seen here but have heard is that it also has antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. Not sure that this claim has ever been substantiated, though.
Edit: Actually, SEOreborn mentions it, although I doubt I'll be using it as a deodorant
Don't cook with oil at all. Just like sugar, oil is something that shouldn't be consumed as an additive to food. Spose that's just my opinion though.
Any reasons why not? Articles on it?

I feel the same thing about corn fed beef - though not sure if this hits home given your proximity.
(have to admit - is damn tasty)
depressing to see how much discussion is made out of the complete lack of trust in the food industry, which they earned with hard work.
if you look at the last 20 years you will see how medical research finds different problems with different kinds of foods, very often reversing calls after a couple of years.
what i try and do (for my family) is keep some kind of normal diet, consider the fact that humans have been running around and eating mostly fruits and vegetables for thousands of years (and the occasional hunt) until they started cooking and eating meat.
I do still use olive oil, but less, and use sunflower oil as well.
And don't get me started on MILK

Coconut oil comes from the coconut plant. When cooking with coconut oil, you should use a small amount of coconut oil. Coconut oil can be used to cook any type of food and you can also reuse coconut oil when cooking again.
You can't top home made cannabutter.

this reminds me of a conversation i struck up a with a nutritionist and they claimed coconuts were the next big "super fruit"... got excited for a second about the possiblities of a coconut supplement being the next acai, but then quickly remembered anyone can go out and buy real coconuts at the store... i guess im stuck waiting for the next acai.
fuck if i know, iamthewalrus designed it. we don't sell fishcakes.
doesn't change the fact that you should eat real food. and i consider coconut/olive oil to be real food
No one at all finds this ironic that your banner seems to promote truth and transparency yet the only product in the picture is one you don't sell?!

OP - check out the 4 hour body (Tim Feriss). There is a ton of 'opinion' as what is best but Tim did the research, took the time to test things on his own body and after sifting through the data, he found the nuggets.
JC.
p.s. Scrambled eggs using coconut oil tastes amazing.
RE: the macadamia nut oil vs. coconut oil thing... this is an apples vs. oranges conversation. They should BOTH be used.
Macadamia is all monounsaturated fat -- great stuff, you can cook with it too -- coconut oil (nearly all saturated and MCTs) has a completely different set of benefits.
You shouldn't have to pick one over the other. You mix em all in where taste and nutrition and cooking uses apply, and stay away from corn/vegetable/soybean/canola oil, and any trans fats or anything mentioning 'hydrogenated'.
If you forced me to have one off that above list of bad ones, I'd choose canola... but I don't touch that either.
