Is it good or bad for you? I've seen conflicting accounts? Do any of you use it? If so....anything special u make with it?

The same as any other food. Too much of anything can be problematic.

It is very healthy, great for cooking. Just use it in place of other oils.

I think it's okay to eat just try to make sure you aren't getting too much saturated fat.

"The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of total daily calories. That means, for example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 140 of them should come from saturated fats. That’s about 16 grams of saturated fats a day."
