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 prefer unicorn dust in in my oatmeal to organic honey0

All joking aside, coconut oil will not "boost your metabolism." It is a fat just like any other, and has calories just like any other. No added benefits, really, unless you like the taste. CICO is all that matters for weight loss.
Also there is no concoction on this earth that will detox your body (aside from activated charcoal for things like, you know, actual poisoning). If your organs are working, then you're getting all the detox you need.0 -

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!
Look into the metabolism of coconut oil. It doesn't boost metabolism and the MCT's burn like a carbohydrate0 -

Coconut oil has been a godsend for my psoriasis on my scalp. The medicinal treatments were brutal, but a good rubbing in of coconut oil followed by half an hour of hot towels and a wash clears the crud off brilliantly.0 -

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.0 -

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.
