Coconut Oil: Interesting…

So… I read about coconut oil on Dr. Mercola’s natural health website, and I’ve seen lots of ads popping up on this site about coconut oil and thyroid health. Since I couldn’t find any information that suggested there might be any kind of risk associated with using coconut oil, and there are so many purported benefits, I figured it was worth a try. I went to my local natural food store and found some expeller-pressed, vacuum distilled organic coconut oil from Omega Nutrition. Considering most suggestions are to use it in place of butter and/or olive oil, the 32 oz. container I bought should last me a while.

Now, mind you, I’ve only been using it for a week. I’m also not a doctor. And what I’m about to say is NOT “qualified medical advice” or anything like that. But I also believe I am not suggesting anything that could possibly hurt anyone, so… take it for what it’s worth. I am SOLD on this coconut oil thing. Totally sold. Read more
