Coconut Oil, Warning it's a long read, a very long read.

Coconut oil makes a fantastic vegan frostin
( just in case you ever have pesky vegans you need to bake a cake for)

Do you have the recipe for this? I have a crap load of coconut oil and frosting is something I wouldn't mind making with it.

The entire section on supposed medical beenfits of coconut oil should be disregarded until citations are provided for each and every claim.

To suggest that coconut oil has any effect whatsoever on HIV, autism or cancer (as well as all the other stuff - what exactly is 'adrenal fatigue??) is appallingly irresponsible.

I'm sure coconut oil is fine for cooking, and like other types of fats may have some general health benefits that are not necessarily separable from the diets in which they are a normal component, but it does not cure viruses, neurological disorders or cancer.

I don't know if it's good for all that, but it's DELICIOUS in smoothies. It does work as a sunblock, I know from personal experience. It's great to cook with, too, if you don't mind your food tasting like coconut!

Coconut oil as sunblock? Back in the 60's and 70's we used to put it on to tan faster. I dont' know if we actually tanned faster than we would have without it, but it certainly didn't prevent us from tanning quickly.

This. As soon as you hear "oil-pulling", you know It's woo of the highest order.
Some people will believe anything.

I follow a Ketogenic eating program and use coconut oil in my coffee and to cook low fat meat like chicken breast to up the fat content. It can also be used to make ketogenic chocolate.
