    My husband eats a T or 2 of it everyday, as well as cooks with it and uses it topically. He loves it, says it has improved his skin, nails, and hair. He also believes the swishing he does with it in his mouth has improved his gums. He is 58 years old, very pumped, plays baseball two to three times a week all summer and through the fall (has three games this weekend - burrrrrrrr). And he is the pitcher (a very physically demanding position). By all of this, he is very healthy and fit.

    I do believe that improvements in our hair and especially our skin do come from within. I don't find it disgusting at all, I just prefer to get me calories other ways.

    CO is not a benefit of to your gums. It is more plausible that the extra attention being paid to his teeth and gums is the reason for the improvement. Dentists have never recommended CO as a benefit!

    Dentists don't recommend it? Duh! No surprise there. And, if you have some "proof" that it isn't a benefit, I am all ears...

    I will go with Mercola, because, well, if you look at the PAGES of links re: coconut oil and teeth/gum health, he might be the most mainstream: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/12/08/coconut-oil-combats-tooth-decay.aspx

    My brother in law is a body builder and he puts it in his coffee. Sounds like a crap sandwich to me but everyone to their own.

    I just cook with it. The closest I ever come to drinking it straight is putting a bit in my coffee.
