    You forgot the most important one.
    Coconut oil will save your soul from eternal damnation.

    I bought some coconut oil by mistake and it's actually quite disgusting when taken alone. The oiliness of it made me want to throw up. It does impart a flavor on foods cooked with it, so it's a no go in my house since my kids can pick up on any off flavors they aren't used to.

    LOL since I did NOT write this, I didn't leave anything out, but I will notify the blogger that she left it out and see if she wants to add it to the next blog. Some of the things I agree are so far fetched that it makes you want to laugh, but if some of it is true then for me I'm good with that. If my finger nails would get hard and stop being so brittle I'd be happy. If I could use it as a face cream and it work I'm good with that. And if I could fry some things with it (since I gave up fried foods all together) and enjoy it I'd be happy with that also.

    So Coconut oil kills HIV? You mean we've had the cure the whole time??

    Completely ridiculous claims throughout absolutely kill the credibility of the writer (and call into question any of the other claims in the article).

    Glad I didn't bother reading most of it.

    I swear by Coconut Oil, and there are studies of it being tested on HIV or Aids patients DEFINITELY worth the read!

    I use it for everything - cooking, moisturizer, feminine issues, lubricant, etc....

    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.
