I didn't know the benefit of coconut oil until somebody told me about this. I use it for skin care and it was good. I haven't tried to use it for cooking but I would like to. Share with me about what you know about the benefit of coconut oil and how would you use it ?

My father in law swears by it. I use it for cooking just out of habit, but haven't really thought of the health benefit aspect of it. I do know it's supposed to be more heart healthy.

I've never used it. I've read numerous articles and discussions about it, but I can't think of a reason why I personally would have to substitute coconut oil for what I already use.

Raw coconut oil or virgin coconut oil is great but the regular coconut oil that has been extracted by heat have no difference with vegetable oil. Raw coconut oil is good for the skin and if you take a spoonful a day it will be good for the heart. It's better than lotion BTW.

@wildlittlefan It is called tree of life for a reason. Almost every part of it is useful.

I've heard about it. My brother uses it. I know you can use it for your hair. I've started using it for cooking foods.

Before, I used to take one teaspoon of virgin coconut oil a day. I was imitating my parents then though I wasn't sure of the benefits of coconut oil to my health.
