No your not, it's just being touted as the new wonderfood. Same as honey, no matter what type, doesn't detox anything your liver and kidneys aren't already taking care of.
^^^This. I love honey and I use coconut oil but I don't believe they have any special properties for internal health. HOWEVER, I love putting coconut oil on my skin. Works well to fade scars (for me anyway...I saw a noticeable difference as I have many scars on my arms) and keeps my skin clear and soft. I've recommended it to friends for skin care myself.
I made a really awesome sugar scrub with sugar, coconut oil, and peppermint oil. I put it in cute little jars and handed them out as Christmas gifts for my girlfriends. My hands feel so smooth after using it, and all my friends like it too. I gave my friends a miracle that day. The miracle of coconut oil.
Maybe the added sugar I put in it negated the miracle-ness.
wait, so you made christmas gifts that had ADDEED sugar in them….begone from here satan!!!
I feel bad for killing my friends.

My thyroid doctor told me to up my coconut oil intake for weightloss and I though he was absolutely insane! Since doing so, my skin is healthy, my hair is healthy, and I've lost 41lbs all together.
I use organic unrefined honey which acts as a detox to the body, along with the cocoa powder. Just because something is high in calories does not mean it's bad for you. Healthy fats are extremely beneficial to the body and help with maintaining a healthy weight!
While coconut oil is considered a "healthy fat", it is also really high in saturated fats, which is not so healthy. Remember the rule of thumb is fats that are liquid at room temp are better than fats that are firmer at room temp. I don't see anything terribly wrong with the ingredients you listed, but I wouldn't go crazy on it, because it's not the types of foods you eat that matter as matter as the amounts. All foods are healthy in the right amounts.
What is the reason behind that rule of thumb? If food is in my belly, it's well above room temperature. It's brought up to my body temperature shortly after entering.

I think it's pretty mean to not only feed cayenne to chickens, but to do it to make them lay more eggs. You already get one a day, leave the poor bloody chook alone.
Not to mention, I sure hope to hell that this doesn't work on humans, because with the amount of cayenne I eat, if I ever skip a pill, I'm going to end up with a litter.0 -
replace chocolate with pure fat and sugar. Sounds good.0

dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa is very healthy...it actually has a relatively small amount of sugar, and it has a good amount of fiber and a lot of antioxidants.isn't a good dark chocolate 75-85% Lindt healthy and taste better?
Honey, on the other hand, just adds a lot of sugar. I don't understand how this could be better.

I enjoy a good sugar scrub. I got one on a cruise because my skin was doing crazy stuff from all the sun, and I wanted to eat some. I may have.0 -

I'm curious about this recipe, actually. Basically, it's a lump of fat with cocoa and honey. Wouldn't that just coat your mouth? One of the reasons I hate cheap chocolate and stuff like copha is that I feel like I need to scrape down my mouth after eating it, the mouth-feel is foul. Wouldn't this be the same?0

And if you had eaten it, and it contained coconut oil, your metabolism would've been off the hook.
The added sugar would kill you, though.0 -

I wholly believe that brownie batter isn't brownie batter if it isn't at least 33% melted chocolate.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I buy my Lindt Madagascar in 2.5kg bags (seriously). I just thought that in addition to "but that's not chocolate" there was potentially total mouth-yuck happening.0 -
